Darren Elias raised to 1,500 from the cutoff only to have Team PokerStars Pro (Nordics) Ville Wahlbeck reraise to 4,200.

Just before the break we had two players run into aces and get eliminated.
First Dario Minieri was eliminated after he three-bet shoved for 9,000 on the button. Chris Klodnicki re-shoved for almost 25,000 from the big blind and Marko Neumann, the initial raiser, got out of the way.
Minieri: 
Klodnicki: 
Minieri received a little help from the 
flop, but the 
on the turn left him with only two outs and he did not improve with the 
on the river.
A few hands later on an adjacent table, Ville Wahlbeck opened to 1,000 before Jesse Martin three-bet jammed for 10,900. Action folded to Darren Elias in the big blind who tank-called and Wahlbeck showed 
before folding.
Martin:
Elias: 
Again, the flop was kind to the underdog: 
. However, like Minieri, Martin couldn't improve further when the turn () and river () were both blanks.
Players are now on a 15-minute break.
