Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Haukur Bödvarsson found two callers to a flop of J♥8♣2♣ on which Russel Wheatley in the small blind bet 800. Ole Wasenius called and Haukur Bödvarsson then raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Only Wheatley called and check-called a bet worth 4,000 on the 10♦ turn. They checked the 10♥ river and Bödvarsson shrugged, then showed J♦8♥.

Wheatley turned over Q♣10♣ for a flopped gutshot and flush draw that instead went runner runner trips.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

"Do you want a small or large pot?" Haukur Bödvarsson joked to Russel Wheatley and the latter replied "medium" as they headed to the 9♠6♥5♦ flop. Wheatley bet 1,000 and was raised to 5,000 by Bödvarsson, which he called quickly. They checked down the 7♣ turn and A♦ river for Wheatley to win another healthy pot with the Q♠Q♣.

"I folded eights," Ole Wasenius in the one seat added.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

At the end of the first level, two players were eliminated at almost the same time with Haukur Bödvarsson among those to fall after a rough opening level.

The other casualty was Sami Tuomaala, who jammed the J♥4♥4♠7♦ turn for around 22,000 and was snapped off by Jhonro Magno from Iceland. Tuomaala showed the K♥K♠ but had a mere two outs as Magno's J♣4♣ had flopped a full house. The river was the blank 3♥ to knock out Tuomaala.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Vesa Salo was responsible for the elimination of Anders Bjorkheim and then raised from under the gun soon after, new entrant Mati Pirn defended the big blind. Pirn check-raised the K♥8♣4♥ flop from 400 to 2,000 and earned a call from Salo.

Pirn bet the 4♦ turn for 3,600 and the 7♦ river for 3,200. Salo called both times and showed A♣K♣ but mucked to the K♦7♥ of Pirn.
