Three Women Remain After Johnsen Eliminated
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Agnetha Johnsen was one of the recent eliminations leaving just OlyBet Team Pro Carmen-Elina Vist, Malta's Jacqueline "Poker Mama" Cachia. and birthday girl Anne Meri as the last three remaining women in the field.
Johnsen opened for 8,000 and was called in position by her opponent. Johnsen checked the 
flop and her opponent jammed more than covering the approximately 52,000 remaining in Johnsen's stack.
Johnsen made the call and turned over 
for a flush draw. Her opponent, who after the hand she described as a table bully to PokerNews, held 
.
Neither a four or a club came on the turn or river and Johnsen was out of the tournament.
"I knew my opponent didn't have a five or a two," shared Johnsen after the hand. "It is time to relax and go shopping for an hour."

It's the Final Countdown
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
The blinds have just gone up to 2,500/5,000 with a big blind ante of 5,000. The tournament has been deep-stacked throughout and the 56 remaining players effectively have more than 40 big blinds to start the level.
This will be the final level of the day before players bag and tag until Day 3. It appears unlikely that the bubble will break until Day 3 with 34 players walking away with at least a min-cash of €2,740.
