The reentry period is almost over with six minutes left on Level 9. Soon the tournament floor will announce three hands left to the level after which players will go on a 15-minute break. During the break, players can also choose to void their stack and reenter with a fresh stack of 30,000 in chips if they so choose.
Players can still reenter or late-register on the break up until the time the first cards are dealt on Level 10.
Tom Vogelsong entered today with a six-figure stack. However, he will need to reenter in order to make the first break.
Janar Kokk opened to 2,200 from middle position. Another player called from one seat over as did Vogelsong from the big blind.
Voselgang bet 5,000 on the 
flop before Kokk jammed 20,000. The third player in the hand folded and play came momentarily to a halt.
"Is reentry still open?" asked Vogelsong before he called.
Kokk turned over for an overpair and held strong with blanks on the turn and river against Vogelsong's .
Vogelsong was left short but triple up to about 11 big blinds the next hand.
Those chips got in the middle after he jammed 
and got called by Jari-Pekka Juhola with 
. The 
ran out on the board and Vogelsong went back to the tournament desk to reenter.

Finnish poker sensation Ilari Sahamies three-bet the button to 6,000 against the opening raise of Kevin Pold.
Pold check-called a bet of 6,000 from Sahamies after the 
came on the flop. Both players then checked after the 
came on the turn.
The 
paired the board on the river and Pold bet 5,000. Sahamies paused for a minute before he made the call. Pold turned over 
, which was good enough after Sahamies tossed his hand into the muck.
After the hand, Sahamies was down to near a starting stack and saw a member of the tournament floor walk by.
"How many levels can I reenter?" asked Sahamies.
He was told that he can reenter only until the end of the blind level which was slightly more than halfway in the books by the end of the hand.

Another big name in poker, Morten Mortensen, has hit the rail on Day 2 but we might see him reenter as there is still time to do so.
Mortensen open-jammed for 13 big blinds with 
from early position before Jyrki Olavi Lampinen over-jammed from the button with 
for what looked like to be for around 60,000.
Mortensen had a sweat after the 
flopped opened a flush draw. However, no help was given with the 
coming on the turn followed by the

Jorstad shared that he was going to immediately reenter and get back into the action with a 30 big blind stack.
