Tapio Aaltonen had survived the bubble with a T-25,000m chip and became the first casualty in the money.
Hans Winther then jammed for 61,000 first to act and Anders Bjorkheim called.
Hans Winther: K♦J♦ 
Anders Bjorkheim: 7♣7♠
The J♥8♠8♦5♣A♣ board gave Winther new life with a double.
Anders Bjorkheim jammed from the cutoff into three short stacks and Tage Almark called in the small blind.
Tage Almark: A♥A♦
Anders Bjorkheim: J♦3♣
The 8♦5♦4♦J♥A♣ board kept the aces in the lead for the double.
In the next hand, Leif Iversen three-bet jammed from the cutoff for his last 26,000 and Mario Jürgens called from under the gun.
Leif Iversen: Q♣Q♥
Mario Jürgens: K♦K♣
This time, the player at risk could not win on a board of A♦9♥7♥J♣6♦ and that let the bubble burst eventually.
On a completed board of K♥J♠8♣10♥K♣, Øystein Stai checked in the big blind. Laasik Kasso bet 100,000 from two seats over in an early position and Stai went into a long tank. No words were spoken by either player and Stai eventually called, then mucked when he was shown Q♥9♥ for the king-high straight.
Taivo Sillaste in the cutoff and Steinn Karlsson in the small blind got their stacks into the middle with the former at risk.
Taivo Sillaste: A♠A♦
Steinn Karlsson: 10♣10♦
The Q♦8♦3♠ flop brought some potential running straight outs but Sillaste locked up the double with the A♥ turn to make the K♠ river a formality.
The second all-in showdown followed during the next hand when Anders Bjorkheim raised from under the gun and called the shove by short stack Teemu Leppälahti in the next seat.
Teemu Leppälahti: A♠Q♠
Anders Bjorkheim: K♣10♣
The A♦K♠3♣9♥9♠ board secured another double.
Stein Pedersen raised from under the gun and was called by Birgir Ellingsen as well as Mario Jürgens in the big blind. The K♣7♠6♦ flop was checked to Ellingsen and he bet 18,000. Jürgens check-raised to 48,000 only for Pedersen to push all-in.
Ellingsen folded and Jürgens also let go, flashing his A♦K♠ for top pair top kicker. Pedersen exposed his A♣A♦ and Ellingsen showed pocket queens!
During the same hand on table 14, Kalle Kulju raised to 12,000 and Karl Persson three-bet to 24,000 for Kulju to call.
Persson continued on the 9♠8♠2♣ flop to get called, then jammed the 3♠ turn. Kulju called all-in for 79,000 and the showdown unfolded when all other hands had finished.
Kalle Kulju: A♦A♣
Karl Persson: J♥J♠
Persson needed a jack or spades but the 6♥ river ensured the double of Kulju.
Ingvill Nilsen bet the A♠Q♥6♠ flop for 17,000 out of the big blind and Daniel Axelsson raised to 42,000. Nilsen folded and said "I had the ace but no spades." Axelsson replied "I had to raise, I had a strong ace," while collecting the pot.
At the same time, Keimo Suominen bet the J♦7♥3♠Q♠8♥ river for 65,000. Monica Klingenberg folded and Suominen declared "I had something" then showed the Q♥Q♣. Just the hand prior, Suominen had shown a five-high bluff.
There was also one all-in and call as Antti Takala three-bet jammed his last 28,000 out of the big blind and Taavi Pusa called.
Antti Takala: 5♥5♠
Taavi Pusa: A♥8♠
The ace came on the A♠10♦7♦9♠7♠ board to reduce the field to the last 63 players.

Kristine Ingebrigtsen eventually won a pot without showdown to boost her stack in the middle of the pack.
In the meanwhile, Raini Lelle defended his big blind against Peter Rees and they checked to the A♠J♠6♠9♦8♣ river. Lelle checked and Rees bet 25,000 for his opponent to call. There was no showdown, as Rees mucked and forfeited the pot.
The dealers were told to stop the action after their current hand, as there was one all-in on table seven two spots away from the money.
The board showed Q♥Q♦3♣2♦6♠ and Laasik Kasso bet 35,000 out of the big blind. Ludvik Gudmundsson pushed all-in on the button and Kasso asked for a count, then folded.
After the hand, the tournament went in hand-for-hand mode.
Mateusz Jablonski jammed for 68,000 in the cutoff and was not happy to be called by Ludvik Gudmundsson in the big blind despite being ahead in the showdown.
Mateusz Jablonski: A♣Q♥
Ludvik Gudmundsson: K♥J♠
The board ran out A♦K♦8♦10♥5♣ and Jablonski doubled.
Shortly after, Johan Mattsson was eliminated on a nearby table to reduce the field to the last 64 players.
