Day 2 out of reach for duo

Gøkmen Cetin and Toni Merivuori both missed the Day 2 cut after struggling with short stacks for some time.

Dane Cetin, who made the final table in Vienna, had barely managed to muster a stack all day and eventually found himself needing two double-ups to be a factor.

All-in no less than eight times before he finally earned a call, Gøkmen was crushed to see his opponent's AJ vs his A10 and the villain's hand held up.

Season One Tour League winner Merivuori had seen better times earlier in the day, but confessed his play in a number of blind battles had let him down.

"I was disappointed with my play in the blind battles," he told the PPT blog following his exit, "A few of the players on my table got tricky in those spots and I wasn't getting much respect. Maybe I could have played those hands better."

Both men's exits will disappoint their Fantasy Poker managers, as the duo had been popular picks ahead of the Main Event.
