During the last two hours, the field of contenders has been nearly cut into half as only 107 players still remain in the mix. They are now on a scheduled 15-minute break, their second of the day. The second tournament day will conclude upon completion of level 20 or when 27 players remain, whichever comes first.
In a preflop contest, Ingvill Nilsen said "I am ready" when she called all-in against the shove by Joni Väistö, and was at risk for 78,500.
Ingvill Nilsen: Q♠Q♣ 
Joni Väistö: A♥K♦
The pocket pair remained ahead on a board of J♠10♥5♣3♠6♣ for Nilsen to double, as she sat back down and said "thank you queens".
Sami Natri three-bet out of the small blind and Keimo Suominen called in the cutoff with a shorter stack behind. Natri checked his cards on the K♥Q♣2♥ flop and checked thereafter, Suominen bet 6,000 and earned a call.
On the J♦ turn, Natri checked again and Suominen bet another 13,000 to win the pot uncontested. He flashed the 4♦3♦ and Joni Väistö joked "I think that wasn't a valuebet."
Kristine Ingebrigtsen bet the 10♦5♣2♣3♦ turn for 30,000 when checked to by Robert Kallikorm and won the pot.
"Better than pocket eights," she said and exposed the Q♥Q♣, then added "I should stop showing ... I have been drinking too much."
On a different table, Ranno Sootla four-bet to 33,500 in the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Runnar Lindepuu then pushed all-in for around 170,000. Sootla mulled it over and folded.
The field has been reduced to the final 115 players and almost half of them will leave empty-handed as only the top 62 spots are paid. Unfortunately, Coolbet Twitch streamer Christian Arstad will not be among those in the money as he has just been eliminated. Also no longer in contention are the likes of Markus Ojansuu, Alger Pissarev, and Antti Nieminen.
With the turn showing Q♣9♣8♠7♥, Jhonro Magno bet 15,500 out of the big blind. Robert Kallikorm in the cutoff pushed all-in for 48,000 total and Magno asked for a count, nodded and sent his cards into the muck.
Karl Persson was moved tables and is now in the corner section of the main room, where he has been receiving a table massage for some time. As the massage kept going, his stack has kept increasing, too.
Persson just now bet out of the blinds on the 10♦5♦3♦ flop for 5,500 and Daniel Axelsson called. He bet another 11,000 on the 7♦ turn and Axelsson snap-folded.
Keimo Suominen had been bantering back and forth with fellow countryman Jari Hurri and then got his last 40,000 into the middle with the A♣K♠ while he was looked up by John Hågstrand with J♥J♦. Hurri had folded and the board ran out K♥6♠3♥9♣10♣ for Suominen to double.
"I folded ace queen suited," Hurri said, which Suominen found hard to believe.
