Another heart followed and that sent Reinilä to the rail in the third level of the day. Also no longer in contention for the time being are Mati Pirn and Toomas Marrandi.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Keimo Suominen raised the button and called a three-bet to 6,000 by Anders Bjorkheim in the big blind. On the J♣4♦3♠ flop, Bjorkheim seized down to 2,000 for Suominen to call. He then checked the J♥ turn and check-called Suominen's bet of 5,500. They checked the 6♠ on the river and Bjorkheim tabled the J♠J♦ for quads.

"I was lucky, if you push I have to call," Suominen said in table chat.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a three-bet pot with around 13,000 in the middle to the A♠7♣6♣ flop, Terje Sirnes in the small blind bet 4,500 and big stack Jhonro Magno called in the hijack. The J♣ fell on the turn and Sirnes checked. Magno pushed all-in and Sirnes quickly called.

Terje Sirnes: A♣10♥ All in
Jhonro Magno: 10♣2♣

Sirnes needed another club but bricked the 5♦ river to become the next casualty of Magno's hot run early on Day 1a.

"The Doyle, I had to honour him," Magno said while raking in the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With 6,000 in the middle to the K♥8♥5♣ flop, the action checked to Ralf Rogov and he bet 1,500. Torleiv Gronbech check-called and Ivar Simmer then check-raised to 5,400. All his opponents folded and Simmer grinned a "thank you" while collecting the pot.

One hand later, an open raise to 1,100 saw Gronbech jam his short stack of 11,000 and that got through uncontested.
