The race for the money has been in full since the dinner break and after two fraught levels the players deserve a break. But this will be the last cigarette for three players, unknown to us right now but needed before this day comes to a close.

The initial flood of eliminations soon gave way to a more tense period; moments of boredom interrupted by moments of sheer terror.

Albert Iversen, who was on fire on day 1a, finally exited seven places off the money, soon followed by Simon Dorsland battered by Mikael Lundell’s jacks and Claus Lodahl, who ran his ace-king into Jonas Klausen’s aces.

Andrew Feldman remains in the field despite a hefty loss shortly after Lodahl was scuppered. Feldman was in with ace-queen against ace-jack but the flopped jack left him crippled with less than 20,000.

Jens Kyllonen added to his chances, doubling up through lightening fast caller Roberto Romenello, ace-king over ace-queen whilst Martin Wendt dodged bullets in impressive style, folding his ace-queen to a re-raise, and getting shown the aces that would have eliminated him had he gone the other way.

Right now we’re down to 43 players, the 44th elimination being Annette Obrestad.
The diminutive Norwegian moved in behind a Klausen bet and a Kyllonen raise. Kyllonen dutifully called showing [8D]-[9D] to Obresdtad’s pocket sixes. The nine hit the turn and Annette_15 became Annette 44th.

The chip leaders at this bubble stage are Anders Langset (305,000), Rasmus Nielsen (230,000), Peter Hedlund (230,000) and Rasmus Nielsen (250,000).
