As if they were playing according to a set schedule, the remaining players managed to cut their number to just 24 at almost exactly 8pm, the end of level 19. The bubble had been reached and breached many hours earlier, with 73 becoming 64 quickly. The man on the bubble (who received a round of applause but sadly no money) was Dennis Bjerregaard.
Michael Tureniec surrendered his chip lead to Per Linde (who ended on 1,622,000) over the course of the early evening and Florian Langmann also rocketed up the counts finishing in second (1,304,000). Langmann is the only surviving Team PokerStars Pro in the field, with Johnny Lodden and JP Kelly crashing out earlier (although in the money).
Play restarts at 12pm tomorrow, when the battle for the final table places commences!

Helge Rahbek min-raised from the button, and in the big blind Nicolo Calia finally shoved for not a lot - it looked like around 100,000. "Do you have a pair?" asked Rahbek. "I do." He called, and they were on their backs.
Calia:
Rahbek wasn't lying about the pair, although it was the worst one possible:
Board:
Calia has an astounding record in EPTs - he's made the last three tables an impressive five times, including one final table (Tallinn), and he's now ever so narrowly missed on a sixth Day 4. Calia finished in 24th place at this event last year, and he's just one notch behind this time around, exiting in 25th place and bringing an end to Day 3. GG, Signor Calia.
Ørjan Skommo ran smack into Florian Langmann with a big hand, although can be forgiven for assuming the aggressive button-holding German wasn't necessarily that strong. Raise, re-raise (from the small blind), re-raise, all-in, call.
Skommo:
Langmann:
That pot was over 800,000, and ends Langmann's already good day with a bang.
Isn't that always the way? You tip someone for comeback of the day, remark on their all-in resilience and then they're out in 27th spot. Daniel Pettersen dropped back into the danger zone after a beat inflicted by Pernille Ravn. She moved in when it folded to her in the small blind (for 130k) and he thought for an age in the big blind before finally calling.
Ravn rolled her eyes when she saw her wasn't even all that live vs. his . But the flop brought the - she doubled and left him with 92k.
These chip remnants went in preflop the very next hand. The big blind was again the caller, with vs. Pettersen's . He flopped a promising but bricked the turn and river.
Former gigantic chip monster Joel Nordkvist is now definitely in second place behind Per Linde after doubling up short-stacked Daniel Johansson.
Nordkvist:
Johansson:
Board: a decidedly raggy , prompting a somewhat unsportsmanlike cry of, "YESSSSS!!!!" from a man at the rail.
Johansson is up to 400,000, while Nordkvist is down to 1.2 million or so.
Daniel Pettersen has been all in and at risk (and with the worst of it) a couple of times today and come out on top every time. His latest all in was against Juha Helppi who took him on with preflop. Pettersen had to wait for the river to bring him a straight - - but in it came to fit his and he's up to over 300k.
Per Linde looks to have risen to the top of the chip counts after eliminating Martin Clemmensen in 28th place. Everyone left to go today (up to 25th place) receives DKK 75,000. Clemmensen found a pair to get his short stack in preflop with - - but Linde picked up a pair to crush his - . Despite encouraging shouting of, "Doooooooooosse!" from the rail, he failed to spike and is now out.
