Francesco Cirianni - Out
In a battle of the blinds, Francesco Cirianni and Vadim Markushevski got it all in before the flop with Cirianni being the player at risk, covered by just a few thousand chips. There was good news for him though as he tabled to his opponent's .
The news would soon turn worse, unfortunately, as the flop came out to vault Markushevski into a big lead. Looking for a ten or a king but finding none, Cirianni watched the last turn and river of his day come out and respectively. He's out.

Maxim Lykov
With the board showing , Maxim Lykov fired a bet of 40,000 into a pot of approximately 65,000, sending Vyacheslav Rotach deep into the tank.
After a full five minutes of pondering, Rotach finally made the call. Lykov turned over for a straight, and Rotach mucked.
Rotach slips to 225,000 after that one. Meanwhile, Lykov moves back into the chip lead with 515,000.

Raoul Refos
The Dutch have lost Raoul Refos from this event as he was unable to get moving in the right direction today. The hopes of Holland now lay with the relatively short-stacked Ad Schaap (62,000) and the online qualifier Menno Mulder (136,000). Should either of them manage to take this thing down, they will be the third consecutive Dutch player to win an EPT event, following Constant Rijkenberg (EPT San Remo) and Pieter de Korver (EPT Grand Final) from last season.

Artem Litvinov
We've had a flurry of all ins over the past few minutes, but most of them have resulted in double ups for the short stacks.
The most recent all in came over on Table 4 when Artem Litvinov open-shoved his remaining 29,000 chips from early position. Volodymyr Pilyavskyy thought it over for several minutes before making the call as the rest of the table quickly folded out of the way.
Litvinov began crossing himself and mumbling towards the sky as he tabled . Pilyavskyy turned over , poised to send a double up over to his foe. The flop was a huge sweat though as it came to give the covering player a flush draw to work with. The on the turn gave him an additional three outs to the straight, but the that hit the river was a safe card for Litvinov.
He broke out into a fist-pumping frenzy as he crossed himself again and made a thankful gesture upwards. The massage therapist working on his shoulders asked, "Did you win?" He's notched himself a double up, sitting with just over 60,000 now and back in the game.

The High Rollers
The High Rollers event -- a €20,000 + €500 no-limit hold'em tournament -- is just getting started over on the other side of the Sport Arena. Looks like we have just three players battling it out in that one: Shaun Deeb, Andrew Feldman, and Nikolay Evdakov.
We'll keep an eye on how that event goes and let you know who comes out on top.
