Arriving on the 10♠K♦10♥Q♦A♥ river with 310,000 in the pot, Tomas Bulksas bet 100,000 from the small blind. After some thought, Bjorn Ophaug called in the big blind, but he could not beat Bulksas' A♣4♦ and mucked.
Over at another table, defending champion Guillermo Gordo was seen with an above-average stack, having more than tripled his chips so far on Day 3.
Robert Rohr was down to just 90,000, which he pushed in on the button. Payam Seyedzadeh looked him up in the small blind.
Robert Rohr: A♣3♦ 
Payam Seyedzadeh: A♦10♣
Seyedzadeh flopped a pair on 10♠8♠Q♣, securing the pot on the 2♦ turn. Rohr waved off as the 6♦ river completed the board and headed to the exit.
Over at another table, Roar Wang was all in for 330,000 on the button, taking on Joonas Helin in the big blind.
Roar Wang: A♥K♣
Joonas Helin: Q♦Q♣
Wang found a king on the 2♠6♣J♠K♠8♠ board, winning the flip to double up and overtake Helin in the counts.
Raimo Ahola and Jarno Jokiniemi moved in all their chips in the blinds, with Ahola's stack of 155,000 being at risk in the small blind.
Raimo Ahola: A♥5♣
Jarno Jokiniemi: A♠K♥
Jokiniemi paired his king on the 9♦4♠K♣ flop, and the players shared a fist bump as the 4♥ turn decided the pot in Jokiniemi's favor.
Ahola walked off as the meaningless 3♠ river completed the board, and the chips were added to Jokiniemi's stack.
Shortly before, Gunnar Leifsson was also eliminated from the Main Event.
Level: 23
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Atso Lindell got his stack of 325,000 all in preflop against Tomas Bulksas and was at risk.
Atso Lindell: 4♦4♣
Tomas Bulksas: K♥K♦
Lindell's fours stood no chance on the 8♣10♠6xXxKx board, as Bulksas ended with a set to secure the knockout.
Over at another table, Andreas Backlund lost his preflop all-in with pocket eights against Ragnar Lind's pocket aces, while Jarmo Salonen and Dominykas Buda had been eliminated earlier in the level.
Yevhen Pavlenko was in early position and raised to 30,000. Payam Seyedzadeh then made it 135,000 from the small blind, and Pavlenko four-bet jammed.
Seyedzadeh quickly called off his stack of 555,000, becoming the player at risk.
Payam Seyedzadeh: A♠K♥
Yevhen Pavlenko: 8♠8♣
Seyedzadeh flopped trips on K♦K♣Q♠ and locked up the pot by making a full house on the Q♣ turn. The 4♥ river did not matter anymore, as Seyedzadeh had already earned the checkmark in the seven-figure pot.
Pavlenko was left with around 15 big blinds, which he lost not much later, becoming the next bust-out.
Priit Brikker opened to 30,000 in middle position. Big stack Oystein Stai then shoved all in in the cutoff, and Korneliusz Jelinski quickly called for 160,000 on the button.
It folded back to Brikker, who snap-called for 235,000 as well.
Korneliusz Jelinski: A♣Q♣
Priit Brikker: A♠K♠
Oystein Stai: A♦10♦
Stai had the worst of it, but the J♣4♦7♦ flop brought him a flush draw for some extra outs. To the dismay of his opponents, the 10♣ turn paired Stai up, and the 5♠ river secured the double knockout.
Oystein Stai opened to 30,000 in middle position. Arasch Mirzai was in the big blind and committed his stack of 140,000 to the pot. Stai confirmed the amount before quickly calling.
Arasch Mirzai: K♦8♦
Oystein Stai: A♥9♣
The 4♣Q♥4♦7♦ turn presented Mirzai with a flush draw, but none of his outs arrived on the 6♥ river, sending him home early on Day 3.
Just after, Axel Hilmisson was eliminated at another table.
On a 10♥J♦4♦ flop, cutoff Alger Pissarev got his stack of roughly 300,000 in against chipleader John Blomberg in the hijack.
Alger Pissarev: J♠10♠
John Blomberg: 10♦8♦
Pissarev's two pair remained ahead on the Q♥ turn, but the 6♦ river completed Blomberg's flush draw, awarding him the pot and sending Pissarev to an early exit.
Shortly before, Sindre Roenquist had been eliminated at another table.
