The board ran all blanks and Kyvik was eliminated from the tournament. Bremseth meanwhile had his stack soar up to 240,000.
Jan-Mikael Kesanen lost some chips while Kyosti Allan Isberg gained a few. Isberg now has the lead with 420,000 and from looking around the room Kesanen's 350,000 in chips didn't take him out of the top two in chip counts.

The second fifteen-minute break just kicked off with about 120 players remaining. The third break will be an hour-long dinner break and take place after Level 14.

Coolbet founder Jan Svendsen reentered today and lasted for a bit of time. He got it all in for around 20,000 in chips with ![]()
before Jari Hurri went over the top with ![]()
.
Hurri seemed surprised that Svendsen had as good of a hand as he did. However, Svendsen wound up on the wrong end of the coin flip after the board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()

When Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk found out Svendsen busted the tournament, he seemed like he won a bet.
There as a bet listed on Coolbet about who would last the longest between Franke and Svendsen with the caveat being at least one of the players had to cash for the bet to be valid.
Franke elaborated about why he seemed like he won the bet in his mind sharing that he only fired one bullet that he won in a satellite. Meanwhile, Svendsen fired at least three bullets.
The tournament area is much less packed than it was at the start of the day with the field now trimmed down to 125 players. The room will fill back up again soon with side events taking place side-by-side with the Main Event.
Jon Kristian Kyte just left the tournament area. On his way out, he shared with us his misfortune.
A player opened from the cut-off for 6,000. The player in the button called and Kyte jammed over the top for 72,000. The initial raiser called and the button folded.
Kyte held ![]()
for a set. Normally this would be good enough for the check mark to go his way.
However, his opponent with ![]()
was able to best Kyte when the board gave him a flush.
Kyte will take a couple of hours away from the tables before he returns to play for the two-day €330 ViMenn Open at 6 p.m. EEST.
The chip leader to start the day Kim Christensen has just left the tournament area.
We caught up with the biggest pot of the day on the turn. We learned from the table after the hand was over that it began with Christensen opening from the button and calling a three-bet from Jan-Mikael Kesanen.
Kesanen then bet after the flop came ![]()
![]()
and Christensen called. At this point, we estimated the pot to already be almost 100,000 in chips.
The
appeared on the turn and Kesanen bet 20,000. Christensen went into the tank for a minute or two before he raised to 55,000.
Kesanen called and the
completed the board on the river. Kesanen slowed down the aggression and checked. Christensen then jammed for about 100,000 and Kesanen called almost as soon as the words "all-in" left Christensen mouth.
Christensen was on a complete bluff with ![]()
and was eliminated when Kesanen who had 105,000 remaining at the time he called turned over ![]()
.
Minutes later, Kesanen was still busy piling up chips but based on the action, we estimate his stack to be at around 420,000. This hand catapulted Kesanen into the chip lead. He began the day with just 30,000 in chips after he decided to wait until Day 2 to get into the poker action in the Main Event.

Not a great a day for Carmen-Elina Vist who shared with PokerNews that she had "no cards" the entire day.
She entered the day with 151,300 in chips and shared she doesn't like to go into Day 2 with a big stack as it often means a bad turn of events later in the tournament.
Such was the case for Vist who is now on the rail and shared with PokerNews her story for today.
Her first table, she shared was full of what she classified as "online gamblers that like to three- and four-bet a lot."
She then moved tables and that is when frustration set in. She first explained how she was about to call a bluff on an ace-high board with pocket deuces thinking her opponent likely had king-jack.
Vist folded and said she was a bit tilted when her opponent did indeed have the king-jack.
The first break of the day then came and Vist said she needed to clear her mind so she completely left the tournament area.
When she got back things weren't any better as she lost a bit with pocket kings against ace-ten.
Then she continued to be patient. She was dealt ![]()
and came along from the small blind after an opener raised. The player in the big blind also stayed in the hand.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
giving Vist and open-ended straight draw. Vist checked, the player in the big blind bet, before the opener shoved.
Vist called and the player in the big blind folded. Her remaining opponent turned over ![]()
for a set. Vist was unable to get her straight and her Main Event is over.
Vist shared that she plans to take it easy before playing in the two-day €330 ViMenn Open later today at 6 p.m. EEST.
