Final Table Set!
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
The official final table is now set but the story of the day will be the one man wrecking crew that is Kevin Vandermissen. The Belgian player seemed to win every pot he played from very early on in the day, knocking out numerous players and catapulting into the chip lead.
Meanwhile, former chip leader Giancomo Maisto had a much tougher day and had to battle to make it through. The final PokerStars Team Pro Alex Kravchenko busted out in 16th place, his best ever finish at an EPT while Koen De Visscher probably won't ever forget his set vs set vs pair and flush draw against Andreas Wiese and Cristian Tardea.
The final table though, looks fascinating with the three Belgians, volatile Russian Vladimir Geshkenbein, Irish PokerStars qualifier Denis Murphy, former chip leader Maisto, Danish youngster Morten Mortensen and sole Romanian Cristian Dragomir. The last of these still is recovering from knocking out his good friend Tardea just before the final table.
Vandermissen will be the player to beat tomorrow and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be bringing you all the action as this tournament reaches its thrilling conclusion from 2pm CET.

Finding himself down to just 412,000 chips he moved all in from early position and when the action folded to Philip Meulyzer on the button he re-shoved all in himself. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were turned over.
