Kristjan Maasalu sat in the cutoff and raised to 80,000. It folded to the short-stacked Monica Vaka in the big blind, who looked at her cards before shipping in her remaining 290,000.
Maasalu asked for a count, making the call once he had heard the correct number.
Monica Vaka: 6♠5♠
Kristjan Maasalu: A♠7♠
Vaka received no help on the K♦J♠2♥ flop, and the 7♣ turn locked up the pot for Maasalu. The meaningless 6♣ river completed the board as Vaka gathered her belongings and left the TV table.
Ole Wasenius raised to 100,000 on the button. Asgeir Lund called in the big blind before he checked the 10♠5♣7♣ flop over to Wasenius. Wasenius bet another 100,000, which Lund quickly raised to 300,000.
Wasenius then went all in for 520,000. Lund let his opponent know he was not happy with the situation, but deemed his odds too good and called off.
Ole Wasenius: A♠A♥
Asgeir Lund: K♥J♣
The 3♣ turn brought a sweat as it provided Lund with a flush draw. The 5♠ river was clean for Wasenius, however, and he doubled up to a seven-figure stack.

Kai Tiainen raised his button to 65,000. Artur Kulanurk called in the big blind, after which both players checked the 9♦7♥5♠ flop. Kulanurk also checked the Q♦ turn before he called Tiainen's bet of 80,000.
The J♠ completed the board on the river. Kulanurk promptly announced an all-in bet, putting Tiainen at risk for his stack of 355,000. After a minute in thought, Tiainen called off.
"You win," Kulanurk simply stated as he tried to muck his cards. The dealer forced him to show his K♠9♥, however, after which Tiainen tabled A♣J♦ for a higher pair and the winning hand.
In a five-bet pot, Jo Andersen got his stack of 725,000 in from early position against Guillermo Gordo under the gun.
Jo Andersen: A♠K♦
Guillermo Gordo: A♦A♣
The J♥7♣J♠10♦ turn provided a change for Andersen's ace-king, but Gordo's aces were not threatened by the 6♣ river. He scooped up the chips and eliminated Andersen in 13th place.
Artur Kulanurk raised to 60,000 in the hijack. Knut Gronli then three-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff, and was put all-in by Kulanurk once it had folded back to him.
Gronli debated for a few moments before he called off his stack of 650,000, putting himself at risk.
Knut Gronli: 10♠10♣
Artur Kulanurk: K♥K♦
Gronli found no ten on the 7♠4♦J♦ flop or 2♣ turn, and Kulanurk hit a set on the K♠ river to win the hand in style. Gronli said his goodbyes to the table before exiting the tournament area and picking up his payout.
Guillermo Gordo raised his button to 60,000. Esa Turpeinen called in the big blind, and the two went to a flop of Q♥7♣6♣. Turpeinen quickly moved in his remaining 170,000 chips, and Gordo snap-called.
Esa Turpeinen: Q♦9♠
Guillermo Gordo: 7♠6♠
Turpeinen's top pair had run into the two pair of Gordo. Neither the A♣ turn nor the 3♣ river improved Turpeinen's hand, sending him to the rail in 15th.
