Tapio Vihakas Eliminated in 3rd Place (�19,500)
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jussi Mattila jammed 
from the small blind and Tapio Vihakas called off for 210,000 with 
in the big blind.
The 
flop gave Vihakas more outs for a straight. But neither the 
on the turn nor the 
on the river was of any help and Vihakas was out the door in third place for �19,500.
Meanwhile, Mathias Siljander enters heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip advantage against Mattila. Antes have been removed the rest of the way. Here is a look at the final table payouts.
