In a duel of players from Norway over on table eight, the turn showed J♥9♥6♣3♦. Ronny Olsen checked and Ole Sarpebakken bet 4,000. Olsen then check-raised for most of his stack, which covered Sarpebakken. The sigh-fold followed and Olsen claimed the pot with a big smile on the face.
Big stack on the table is Daniel Nilsson, who is a contender for the lead on Day 1a.

Russel Wheatley three-bet and then saw Morten Halvorsen four-bet all-in for 20,900. The initial raiser folded and Wheatley, who didn't have a lot more to pay, sigh-called with a shrug.
Morten Halvorsen: 8♠8♣
Russel Wheatley: Q♠J♠
The J♣4♠4♦4♥Q♦ board improved Wheatley on the flop and river to knock out Halvorsen.

With a big pot leading to the 9♥8♥2♣ flop already, Madis Vill got it in against Paul Koppe and was the player at risk for 35,100 with both players holding near identical stacks.
Madis Vill: A♣K♥
Paul Koppe: Q♠Q♥
The 6♥ turn brought hearts into the mix and sure enough, the 2♥ came on the river.
Koppe was down to around 6,000 and they went into the middle with the A♠J♣. Jhonro Magno looked him up with 2♥2♣, which made quads on the K♦Q♠2♠2♦Q♣ runout.

The cards of Vytautas Rubezius were in the muck already and he talked more to himself than anyone else when he said "that was a mistake". He had called the preflop shove of Vadim Guk for 19,800 but couldn't beat A♠9♣ on a board of 10♣7♠7♣2♣9♦.
