Timo Ruuska pushed in his stack of about 100,000 from the small blind and was quickly called by Kai Tiainen in the cutoff.
Timo Ruuska: A♣9♥ 
Kai Tiainen: Q♦Q♣
Tiainen's ladies reigned supreme across the K♠10♦4♥7♣10♣ board, eliminating Ruuska shortly after dinner.

Asgeir Lund raised to 25,000 in the hijack. It folded to Diego Rodriguez Cantillana in the big blind, who opted to defend. The flop fell 9♦4♦6♠. Rodriguez checked, Lund bet 65,000, and Rodriguez called.
The 6♦ turn was checked by both players, after which the 10♥ river completed the board. Rodriguez moved all in for a slight overbet of 200,000. Lund snap-called, prompting a surprised Rodriguez to eventually table Q♣9♥.
Lund also had a pair of nines, but he had the better kicker with A♠9♠ and consequently eliminated the last Chilean player in the tournament.

Logi Laxdal open-jammed in the hijack, pushing his stack of 190,000 in the middle. Jo Andersen called in the small blind, and the players were ordered to show down.
Logi Laxdal: A♥J♥
Jo Andersen: 10♥10♣
The 6♣5♥Q♠9♣Q♥ board was of no help to Laxdal, losing him the flip to Andersen to set his elimination in stone.

Three-way to a 9♠7♠3♠ flop, Jonny Raninen checked from the big blind to Asgeir Lund under the gun, who bet 15,000. Ruben Elden called in middle position, and Raninen came along to the 3♦ turn as well.
After Raninen checked a second time, Lund promptly moved all in. Elden quickly folded to the overbet, leaving himself 20 big blinds, but Raninen sighed and decided to call off for 215,000.
Jonny Raninen: 9♦8♣
Asgeir Lund: A♠4♠
Lund had flopped the nut flush, but Raninen still had outs thanks to the paired board. The 2♠ river changed nothing, however.
The overwhelming chipleader added even more to his stack by eliminating Raninen, ending up with about five times the average stack.

Asgeir Lund raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. When Ruben Elden three-bet to 75,000 from the small blind, Lund quickly moved all in. Elden soon called off his stack of 200,000, and the cards were tabled.
Ruben Elden: A♠K♠
Asgeir Lund: 7♠7♥
Lund flopped Elden near-dead as 7♦6♦3♣ upgraded him to a set. The A♥ turn sealed the deal, and Elden wished the table good luck as the 4♥ river completed the board.

Kris Maiberg opened his button to 20,000. Torgeir Ravlo then moved in for 230,000 in the big blind, and Maiberg quickly called.
Torgeir Ravlo: 3♥3♣
Kris Maiberg: A♠10♠
Ravlo's pair held on the 8♣9♠4♦K♦4♥ runout to double up. Maiberg was left with 20,000, which he would lose not much later to be eliminated.
At another table, Anthony Lesoismier-Geniaux bit the dust to leave 26 players in contention.

Shortly after Haukur Bodvarsson had departed the Main Event, Andre Sorm pushed in his stack of 200,000 on the button. Torsti Kettula called in the big blind, putting Sorm at risk.
Andre Sorm: K♥J♦
Torsti Kettula: J♠J♣
Sorm was dominated and needed a king to survive. The 3♦Q♥6♥3♠6♣ board brought him none, however, resulting in his exit in 25th place.
Play was immediately halted, and the floor announced that the remaining 24 players would bag up for the night, returning Saturday, August 16, at noon local time to finish the rest of the tournament.
Stay tuned for full chip counts and a recap of the second day.
