Juho Santala raised to 4,000 in the hijack and Koen Meutstege three-bet jammed for 38,500 from one seat over. Karl Erik Sandoff also moved all-in from the small blind and Santala folded.
Koen Meutstege: 
Karl Erik Sandoff: 
The pocket pair held despite an additional sweat on the 
board as Sandoff was reduced to fumes once more. "Would you have won?" Meutstege asked Santala, who nodded.
Not much ado was happening in a three-way pot until the 
river on which Simon Wilson bet 13,000. Lennart Dijkkamp flat-called while Pekka Ikonen got out of the way.
Wilson tabled the 
for a pair of eights, which Dijkkamp had beat with 
for the broadway straight on a possible flush board.
Anko Hoogendijk had been nursing a short stack for a while and was just spotted on his way out as the dealer announced the seat open. Giulio Spampinato was the one to rake in the chips as he prevailed with 
on a 
board to further stake his claim of a potential Day 1a chip lead.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Tournament staff informed the players that a total of eleven levels will be played on each Day 1 to avoid a very long Day 2, on which the final table is supposed to be reached. This has triggered a final 15-minute break for the night in which the T-100 chips will be raced off.
Anko Hoogendijk was all-in for a mere 14,200 with the and trailed in the showdown, as Esa Valliaro turned over the 
. However, the board ran out 
and the jack kept the Dutchman in contention.
Hoogendijk had to forfeit a portion of his profit one hand later when Vallerio overbet the 
river for 31,500, forcing a reluctant fold.
Baard Dahl raised to 3,000 and Juho Santala three-bet to 12,100. Dahl then four-bet to 28,000 and Santala tank-folded.
At the same time one table over, David Lappin jammed a 
river for around 20,000 into a pot of two times as much. His opponent folded and the table broke after the hand was over, since former big stack Louis Le Boisselier had been eliminated.
The field on Day 1a is now down to 40 hopefuls, evenly spread among the last five tables.
Dan Tolppanen was able to increase his stack significantly since moving to the feature table and yet he is one of four players with a large chip tower at their disposal.
Two of them just played out a three-bet pot with Domenico Gala opening to 3,000 and Mats Karlsson three-betting to 14,000. Gala stuck around to the 
flop on which he faced a bet worth 15,000 by Karlsson and called. Karlsson bet another 25,000 on the 
turn with his combo-draw and picked up a call by the Italian.
The Malta resident checked the 
river after which Gala jammed all-in for 62,700.
Karlsson checked his cards again and then folded. Gala had a big grin on the face and other players remarked "it has to be a bluff when you smile that much." The Italian only flashed the nine while Karlsson mentioned he had turned a flush draw and gutshot.
