Jussi Karpanen Among the Chips Leaders After Eliminating Tero Kilkanen
Tero Kilkanen fied his second bullet before the start of Day 2 and was on a roll building his stack to 100,000. Fellow Finn Jussi Karpanen ended yesterday with a big stack and grew it to about 120,000 before what was likely the biggest pot of the day thus far took place.
A player opened in late position before Jussi Karpanen three-bet to 9,000. Tero Kilkanen to his left four-bet to 21,000 before Karpanen declared himself all-in. Kilkanen, who is known to be a tight player, shared after the hand that there were no four-bets on his table before and thought about what to do before he called.
Kilkanen turned over pocket kings and needed help to survive with Kilkanen holding pocket aces. The board ran out all blanks and Kilkanen hit the rail. Meanwhile, Karpanen's stack soared after he finished on top of the battle of the Finns.
