Tomi Bondarew raised to 70,000 on the button, and Guillermo Gordo three-bet to 200,000 in the big blind. Bondarew quickly put his opponent all in, and Gordo snap-called for 815,000.
Guillermo Gordo: A♥K♥ 
Tomi Bondarew: A♦Q♥
Both players paired on the Q♦6♥K♣ flop, but only Gordo hit trips on the K♦ turn. The 9♦ river was no longer of use, as Gordo had already sucred his double-up to a seven-figure stack.
It folded to Pekka Ikonen in the small blind, who open-shoved for 265,000. Pal Koppegodt studied his cards in the big blind, then quickly called.
Pekka Ikonen: Q♥10♦
Pal Koppegodt: K♠Q♦
Ikonen found himself dominated, and the 9♦2♠2♥5♣4♦ runout did nothing to prevent his elimination.
Pekka Ikonen opened to 60,000 on the button. Pal Koppegodt then shoved all in for 420,000 in the small blind, and Ikonen snap-called.
Pal Koppegodt: A♥9♣
Pekka Ikonen: A♠K♦
Koppegodt stood up as the 7♥Q♠8♣ flop brought him no help. The 9♥ turn paired him up, however, and he retook his seat as the 2♣ river prevented any harm.
Shortly before Conny Eriksson became the first elimination of the final three tables.
With the last three tables reached, the Coolbet stream is underway. To prevent spoilers, the PokerNews blog will follow the same 30-minute delay as the stream.

Julia Kuusijarvi was down to just 95,000, which she tossed in from the small blind. Hans Fernkvist reluctantly called in the big blind.
Julia Kuusijarvi: Q♦3♠
Hans Fernkvist: 6♥4♠
Kuusijarvi's queen-high remained ahead on the 9♠5♥10♣ flop and 8♠ turn, but the 4♦ river paired up Fernkvist, sending Kussijarvi packing.
