Team OlyBet Pro Dmitrijs Meless Nails a Set
Rauno Tahvonen and Janar Kokk, who we earlier reported were facing off at the same table, are both still at it. Tahvonen has stayed at about the same stack level the entire tournament while Kokk has siphoned some chips away from his stack and is down to about 17,000 in chips.
Now at the same table are two Team OlyBet pros in Estonia's Carmen-Elina Vist and Latvia's Dmitrijs Meless. Vist has managed a decent start early getting her stack up to 43,000.
Meless is doing even better and after a big hand has 80,000 in chips.
We caught up with the 
on the board on the turn and about 5,000 in chips in the pot. Meless's opponent bet 3,200 before the Latvian raised to 10,000.
Meless' opponent, with about 18,000 behind, went into the tank for four minutes before the clock was called. Tournament Director Sanaz "Sunny" Fattahi came by and began a 30-second countdown.
He eventually jammed it in with 
for an overpair and got a snap-call from Meless with 
for a full house. The inconsequential 
completed the board on the river and Meless began piling his chips.
After the hand, Fattahi reminded players that requesting the clock does not guarantee it will be counted down. With the structure so deep, the tournament director said that on big decisions they will edge on giving players more time rather than less.
