Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tapio Aaltonen had survived the bubble with a T-25,000m chip and became the first casualty in the money.

Hans Winther then jammed for 61,000 first to act and Anders Bjorkheim called.

Hans Winther: K♦J♦ All in
Anders Bjorkheim: 7♣7♠

The J♥8♠8♦5♣A♣ board gave Winther new life with a double.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anders Bjorkheim jammed from the cutoff into three short stacks and Tage Almark called in the small blind.

Tage Almark: A♥A♦ All in
Anders Bjorkheim: J♦3♣

The 8♦5♦4♦J♥A♣ board kept the aces in the lead for the double.

In the next hand, Leif Iversen three-bet jammed from the cutoff for his last 26,000 and Mario Jürgens called from under the gun.

Leif Iversen: Q♣Q♥ All in
Mario Jürgens: K♦K♣

This time, the player at risk could not win on a board of A♦9♥7♥J♣6♦ and that let the bubble burst eventually.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ingvill Nilsen bet the A♠Q♥6♠ flop for 17,000 out of the big blind and Daniel Axelsson raised to 42,000. Nilsen folded and said "I had the ace but no spades." Axelsson replied "I had to raise, I had a strong ace," while collecting the pot.

At the same time, Keimo Suominen bet the J♦7♥3♠Q♠8♥ river for 65,000. Monica Klingenberg folded and Suominen declared "I had something" then showed the Q♥Q♣. Just the hand prior, Suominen had shown a five-high bluff.

There was also one all-in and call as Antti Takala three-bet jammed his last 28,000 out of the big blind and Taavi Pusa called.

Antti Takala: 5♥5♠ All in
Taavi Pusa: A♥8♠

The ace came on the A♠10♦7♦9♠7♠ board to reduce the field to the last 63 players.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mateusz Jablonski jammed for 68,000 in the cutoff and was not happy to be called by Ludvik Gudmundsson in the big blind despite being ahead in the showdown.

Mateusz Jablonski: A♣Q♥ All in
Ludvik Gudmundsson: K♥J♠

The board ran out A♦K♦8♦10♥5♣ and Jablonski doubled.

Shortly after, Johan Mattsson was eliminated on a nearby table to reduce the field to the last 64 players.

Upon completion of level 14, the field has been reduced to the last 66 hopefuls and they have been sent on a scheduled 15-minute break. During that time, the T-500 chips will be raced off and the field is just three eliminations away from the money bubble.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vytautas Rubezius was all-in with ace-king versus ace-king and Arne Aarskog held the K♦ in his hand, which got there thanks to four diamonds to send the Lithuanian to the rail. Others to fall recently were Taago Tamm and Riku Määttä, and the final eight tables have already been reached.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a duel of short stacks, Teemu Kaonpää and Mario Jürgens got their chips into the middle.

Teemu Kaonpää: K♠9♠ All in
Mario Jürgens: A♣5♣

The ace-high remained ahead despite a sweat on the Q♣J♥7♥7♦3♠ board. Both stacks were counted and the 69,000 of Jürgens covered. Before their table broke, the Estonian then won another healthy pot to jump back into contention.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Asbjorn Elvevold doubled through Jukka Moisio when A♠Q♦ for ace-queen high was good on a board of 9♥5♣3♥K♥J♥.

Moisio then called all-in for 67,500 when Andreas Hoivold jammed in the small blind.

Jukka Moisio: 8♣8♠ All in
Andreas Hoivold: A♠9♥

The board ran out K♠J♠2♥5♠2♣ and Moisio doubled. Hoivold was down to 20,000 and busted shortly after.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tanel Merida shipped his last 18 or so big blinds into the middle with the A♦2♣ and was looked up by Esko Brandt, who held the 9♠9♥.

The pocket pair stayed ahead throughout the Q♠10♣6♣7♦7♣ runout and that spelled the end for Merida.

Also no longer in contention are Marko Hynynen, Andres Vilhjalmsson, and Joni Väistö.
