Parssinen Done for the Day; Gryko Chips Up

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Eelis Paerssinen
Eelis Paerssinen

Eelis Parssinen was seen on his way out of the tournament area and his chips were pushed over to Philip Sternheimer. The Finn had been the first casualty of the tournament and re-entered twice, which is the maximum allowed in this high-stakes contest.

One table over, Richard Gryko check-raised the KJ8 flop from 20,000 to 90,000 and Dylan Weisman called. Gryko bet the 6 turn for 175,000 and Weisman folded.
