Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jargo Alavari
Jargo Alavari

Jargo Alavali was down to nine big blinds and he shoved for 174,000 from under the gun with {k-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Niko Mykkänen called from the cutoff with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Alavali had some catching up to do. The {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} board was of no help and Alavali hit the rail in 14th place for €2,580.

Aleksander Konstantinov Eliminated in 12th Place (€3,100)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Aleksander Konstantinov
Aleksander Konstantinov

Aleksander Konstantinov was the latest casualty of the tournament.

With about 150,000 already in the pot, Kristoffer Skolem bet 50,000 on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop. Konstantinov went over the top for about 400,000 and Skolem called.

Skolem: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Konstantinov: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

It wasn't looking good for Konstantinov as he could only be saved with a runner-runner straight. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn sealed Konstantinov's fate and after the {2-Clubs} completed the board on the river he headed to the cashier to collect the 12th place prize of €3,100.

Meanwhile, at around the same time on the feature table, Alen Coralic was eliminated in 13th place for €2,580.

Thanh Doan Eliminated in 10th Place (€3,650)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Thanh Doan
Thanh Doan

Almost instantly after Jacobsen hit the rail, Thanh Doan followed in 10th place for €3,650.

He jammed {a-}{k-} for 320,000 and was called by a player with {10-}{10-}. The board was unable to help Doan win the flip and the field is just down to one table of nine players.

The action is on break and we will be reporting the remainder of the tournament on a 20-minute delay to not give away spoilers from those of you watching the stream of the action.

Craig Timmis Eliminated in 9th (€4,200)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Craig Timmis
Craig Timmis

Craig Timmis had a rough return from the dinner break. First, he was bluffed before soon later he was outmatched.

Jan-Mikael Kesanen opened to 60,000 from the hijack with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Timmis three-bet shoved for 598,000 with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} from the cut-off. Sebastian Wahl called from the button with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Kesanen folded.

The {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board wasn't able to save Timmis' tournament and he was eliminated in ninth place for €4,200. The eight remaining players are each guaranteed a payout of €4,900.

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Espen Vaksdal
Espen Vaksdal

Kristoffer Skolem with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} opened from the hijack to 55,000 before Espen Vaksdal with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} three-bet jammed to 298,000.

Vaksdal, who just lost a flop, was a huge underdog when the money got in. However, he doubled up after the {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board gave him a straight while Skolem took a small dent in his stack.

Espen Vaksdal
Espen Vaksdal

Espen Vaksdal raised to 60,000 from under the gun with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Sander van Wesemael three-bet to 165,000 from one seat over with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The action folded back to Vaksdal who jammed for 523,000 and Van Wesemael snap-called.

Vaksdal's Main Event was over after the {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} board was unable to help him and he collected the eighth place prize of €4,900.

The remaining seven players are now each guaranteed a payout of at least €6,100.

River Helps Catapult Luhakooder Into the Chip Lead

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Jaagup Luhakooder
Jaagup Luhakooder

Jan-Mikael Kesanen opened to 75,000 with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} from the cutoff before Jaagup Luhakooder three-bet to 260,000 from the big blind with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Luhakooder led out for 135,000 after the flop came {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and got a call from Kesanen. Kesanen then bet 200,000 after the {8-Spades} appeared on the turn after Lukahooder checked the action and got a call.

The {10-Spades} on the river gave Lukahooder a set. Both players checked and Lukahooder won a massive 1,200,000 pot to catapult into the chip lead. Meanwhile, Kesanen after the hand was the short-stack at the table with 342,000 after being delivered a massive cooler.

Kyosti Isberg raised to 100,000 from early position with {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Kristoffer Skolem called with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} from the cutoff.

Niko Mykkänen jammed from the button for 581,000 with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Isberg folded and Skolem called.

Mykkänen was unable to improve his hand to win a flip with the board running out {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and hit the rail in seventh place for €6,100.

All six remaining players are now guaranteed a payout of €8,500.

Jan-Mikael Kesanen Eliminated in 6th Place (€8,500)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jan-Mikael Kesanen
Jan-Mikael Kesanen

Sebastian Wahl opened for 90,000 from under the gun with {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The action folded to Jan-Mikael Kesanen in the big blind who jammed his short stack of 216,000 with {k-Spades}{j-Spades} and Wahl made the call.

Kesanen was in the lead but it evaporated on the {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop with Wahl flopping top pair.

A ten for the straight or a king for a better pair could still save Kesanen. However, he hit the rail in sixth place for €8,500 after the {4-Hearts} appeared on the turn and the {6-Spades} completed the board on the river.

All remaining players are now guaranteed at least a five-figure payout of €12,100.
