Oh Ojala
Sep 06, '09
A small blind Toni Ojala checks a flop of 8 5 2 and his opponent bets 6,000 from middle position. Ojala calls and the turn comes the 2. The pot is now 23,000 and the player bets 14,000. Ojala takes a chunk of chips and puts them out in front. He has his opponent well covered. The player goes into the tank and eventually calls looking resigned. He reveals K Q and Ojala shows pocket tens.
The river is the A and Ojala rakes in about 83,000 in chips. The player sighs and leaves the tournament floor. Another victim of the early levels on day 2.

Bad Day for Bueno
Sep 08, '09
Patrick Bueno started the day among chip leaders but hand after hand has proven to be a disaster for the Frenchman. The young German player to his right, Julien Nuijten, has made a comeback largely through Bueno, and appears to be getting more and more dangerous as he builds his stack.
Now in the latest hand Bueno’s stack has been absolutely slaughtered by Finn Toni Ojala:
Ojala is all in for 294,000 and Bueno calls for more than half of his stack.
Bueno: A Q
Ojala: 9 9
The tension mounts as Bueno moves ahead on the flop: K Q 5. The turn is the 2 but amazingly Ojala spikes a nine on the river and doubles up.
Bueno is now down to 187,000.

Board: 1053J7
