Jari Hurri has been off to a decent start and quickly chipped up on a table filled with Estonian notables. One of them, Kaido Koorits, raised to 600 and Niko Korhonen called from the next seat. Hurri then squeezed it up to 2,400 and it folded back to Koorits. The four-bet to 8,000 followed and shut down everyone including Hurri.
Vesa Salo was responsible for the elimination of Anders Bjorkheim and then raised from under the gun soon after, new entrant Mati Pirn defended the big blind. Pirn check-raised the K♥8♣4♥ flop from 400 to 2,000 and earned a call from Salo.
Pirn bet the 4♦ turn for 3,600 and the 7♦ river for 3,200. Salo called both times and showed A♣K♣ but mucked to the K♦7♥ of Pirn.
On the tail end of a larger pot over on table ten, the board showed K♠8♦6♦9♠K♦ and there were more than 11,000 in the middle. Alger Pissarev in the big blind bet 11,200 and Peter Rees on the button tank-called. Pissarev showed 9♥8♣ and Rees won the pot with the 7♣5♣.
"I had three pair," Pissarev joked to table neighbour Bergur Jonmundsson when the latter asked what he had.
According to the clock, there are now 91 players out of 93 entries remaining and the latest batch of entries can be found below.
At the end of the first level, two players were eliminated at almost the same time with Haukur Bödvarsson among those to fall after a rough opening level.
The other casualty was Sami Tuomaala, who jammed the J♥4♥4♠7♦ turn for around 22,000 and was snapped off by Jhonro Magno from Iceland. Tuomaala showed the K♥K♠ but had a mere two outs as Magno's J♣4♣ had flopped a full house. The river was the blank 3♥ to knock out Tuomaala.

"Do you want a small or large pot?" Haukur Bödvarsson joked to Russel Wheatley and the latter replied "medium" as they headed to the 9♠6♥5♦ flop. Wheatley bet 1,000 and was raised to 5,000 by Bödvarsson, which he called quickly. They checked down the 7♣ turn and A♦ river for Wheatley to win another healthy pot with the Q♠Q♣.
"I folded eights," Ole Wasenius in the one seat added.
With around 9,000 in the middle to the 10♣10♦9♥A♥Q♠ river, Arto Lehtonen bet 5,300 from the big blind. Andres Vilhjalmsson reluctantly called and was shown the A♠10♥ for tens full of aces by Lehtonen.
Haukur Bödvarsson found two callers to a flop of J♥8♣2♣ on which Russel Wheatley in the small blind bet 800. Ole Wasenius called and Haukur Bödvarsson then raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Only Wheatley called and check-called a bet worth 4,000 on the 10♦ turn. They checked the 10♥ river and Bödvarsson shrugged, then showed J♦8♥.
Wheatley turned over Q♣10♣ for a flopped gutshot and flush draw that instead went runner runner trips.
With around 6,000 in the middle to the A♣10♦5♣2♥6♥ river, Toomas Marrandi checked and then called a bet worth 2,000 by Kristjan Odinsson. The latter showed the K♣Q♠ for a busted broadway draw and Marrandi won the pot with the A♦7♦ for top pair.
