On a flop of 5♠3♠2♣, Finland's Toni Helminen was all-in with the K♠10♠ for a flush draw and up against Steinn Thanh Du Karlsson with the A♥A♣. The aces improved to a wheel on the 4♦ turn and the 3♥ river brought no further spade to knock out Helminen.
Hans Tomta was all-in after the Q♠J♣8♣7♥ turn and had little to fear with Q♣10♣, as Eyjolfur Halldorsson only showed Ax4x. The river was the 3♥ and Tomta doubled to get back above the starting stack.
Also on the table is Andreas Hoivold, who recently entered and then lost most of his stack in an all-in situation.
Earlier on, Roar Flotre had completed he couldn't win anything in this tournament and that was also the case for his most recent all-in showdown. Flotre was all-in with A♠J♦ against the K♦K♠ of Patrik Nordtorp and the Q♥9♦2♠Q♦8♣ board provided no help.
The cards were already on their backs with the turn showing K♣J♠5♣2♦ and Mats Ulshagen was all-in and at risk for 19,900 with the A♦A♠. He was up against Per Gaassand with the K♥10♦ and the latter failed to improve on the 6♣ river.
Soon after, Christian Arstad arrived next to Gaassand after he had busted and re-entered.
Early in level six, the field is up to 233 entries and around 175 players remain. The total prize pool has already surpassed €200,000.

The turn showed A♠8♣3♥4♣ and Juhan Punkeri checked. Verneri Häkkinen bet 1,500 and tossed in a T-5,000 chip. Punkeri then flipped in 5,500 chips because he somehow thought that was the bet sizing of his opponent. The floor confirmed it was a raise, as Punkeri then declared so and the rest of the table started to laugh.
Häkkinen then instantly pushed all-in for 25,500 and Punkeri reluctantly called thereafter.
Verneri Häkkinen: A♣Q♦ 
Juhan Punkeri: J♣3♣
Punkeri was very much alive but didn't get there with the 9♠ river to double Häkkinen.
With 13,500 in the middle to the Q♣8♣2♥7♣ turn, Adam Andersson checked and Kai Tiainen checked behind. The same applied for the K♥ river on which Andersson showed J♦8♦. Tiainen won the pot with the 10♣10♦ and sighed relief. "Glad you didn't bet, I would have folded," he said.
"You are running hot," another player at the table remarked when Joni Väistö collected a big pot, having just busted Kaido Mikk. It was a setup hand in which both players flopped a set. To make matters worse, Väistö turned the nuts as his 5♣5♠ improved to quads on the K♠5♥3♥5♦K♥ board to leave Mikk's 3♣3♠ for treys full second-best.
