TERRORFISH lament; your star player has been eliminated from the PPT Vienna, leaving you trailing in fantasy poker.Toni Merivuori's survival grind finally came to an end with a 23rd place finish, which earned him a €1,150 cheque to go with the €864 and 6th-place finish he secured in Side Event 1 on Thursday.
The Finn (pictured) had looked capable of repeating that final table appearance in the Main Event on Day 1, quickly rising to big stack status, but Day 2 proved more difficult as he flirted with the exit for some time.
Eventually he was forced to shove with A9 utg to dodge the Level 18 4000/8,000 blinds plus 800 ante and was called by a gleeful A10.
Other players to join Toni in departing the €550 buy-in event are Gabor Nagy, Daniel Dankelmann, Zoltan Szabo and Vural Öcalan.
Prize money reminder - 1st €41,640 - 2nd €23,770 - 3rd €16,390 - 4th €13,110 - 5th €10,660 - 6th €8,200 - 7th €6,560 - 8th €4,920 - 9th €3,280 - 10th-12th €2,130 - 13th-15th €1,800 - 16th-18th €1,480 - 19th-27th €1,150
GG Toni! :)
