On the very next hand, Magnus Borg Hansen raised 53,000 into Roberto Romanello's big blind. When the action folded to Romanello, he returned the smirk in Hansen's direction.
"No need for that, is there?" he asked rhetorically. "You're taking it personally." He called.
Romanello checked in the dark once again as the flop came out . A follow-up bet of 65,000 was enough for Hansen to take down the pot, and the two men shared a bit more chatter.
"One apiece," Romanello concluded. Let's see who wins the tie-breaking third encounter.
Team PokerStars Pro Peter Eastgate was among the unfortunate early casualties of Day 4, but he's still mulling about the tournament area. Glo caught up with him a short while ago to chat about his demise and how he feels about playing in his home country. Check out what the World Champ had to say:

An interesting hand just now on the featured table:
We joined the action on a flop of , a heads-up pot brewing between the two Mortens. When Klein checked, Guldhammer fired 200,000 at the pot. That sent Klein into the tank, long enough for the other Morten to call the clock on him. Just a few seconds into his countdown, Klein called.
The turn was the , and the action went check-check. The river is where the fun really started.
The filled out the board, and Klein checked. Guldhammer is quite fidgety at the table, and Klein (and several players at the table) thought they saw Guldhammer check it back. With that, Klein tabled his . As it turns out, it was out of turn as Guldhammer had not checked.
"Floor!"
TD Thomas Kremser arrived with a quickness to sort everything out. Guldhammer was insistent that Klein's hand should be dead, even though that's not a possibility in this situation. He continued to argue that he wanted the hand killed, hinting at the fact that ace-three was the winner on that board. After another several minutes of arguing, Guldhammer check-folded his cards into the muck.
That unusual pot goes to Morten Klein, though he's been given a one-orbit penalty for acting out of turn.

A brief raising war between Richard Loth (cutoff) and Jesper Petersen (button) ended with Loth all in and Petersen calling. Loth claimed he hadn't seen his hand, but we suspect that was not the truth.
Loth:
Petersen:
Board: a very emphatic to double up Loth to 800,000.

Yikes. Jesper Petersen has taken a good few hits of late, and after this one he's down to just shy of 1.1 million. Yorane Kerignard, however, is feeling much more comfortable than he was before after doubling up to 686,000.
The chips went in preflop. The hands were not impressive.

Paul Szyszko has been nursing his shortening stack for a long while, and he finally found a good spot to try and double. First in from the small blind, Szyzsko peeked down at and shipped it in there.
Big blind Magnus Borg Hansen looked down at and asked for a count. "About two-forty," said Szyszko.
"Call," came the instant reply from Hansen. The cards were turned up, Szyzsko a small favorite to double up and stay alive. The odds weren't on his side this time, unfortunately. The board ran out , and Szyszko could only smile and wish his table luck as he headed for the payout desk.
We're now out of Americans here at EPT Copenhagen, and it will be a European of some variety that ends up taking this thing down tomorrow.

The field has been recombined into one table of nine, and we'll play on for one more knockout before calling it a night. This is an important redraw, as tomorrow's final table will use the same seats. Here's how things look:
Seat 1: Jesper Petersen (1,246,000)
Seat 2: Francesco De Vivo (2,235,000)
Seat 3: Yorane Kerignard (706,000)
Seat 4: Magnus Hansen (1,165,000)
Seat 5: Anton Wigg (957,000)
Seat 6: Morten Guldhammer (2,664,000)
Seat 7: Richard Loth (960,000)
Seat 8: Roberto Romanello (1,630,000)
Seat 9: Morten Klein (1,213,000)

Overheard in the players' lounge, a conversation involving the hawaiian-shirted, beer-in-hand, laughing-like-a-hyena Peter Hedlund:
Peter Hedlund: "Wait, what are you talking about?"
Some random: "I gave up drinking. I thought I told you that."
Peter Hedlund: "You mean you gave up life?! Why would you do that?"

Mr. Kerignard
Yorane Kerignard opened for 55,000 and it folded around to Morten Guldhammer in the small blind, who reraised to 550,000 to more or less cover Kerignard.
Kerignard tanked up for some time, clearly mentally debating what to do with a marginal sort of hand. He eventually re-reraised the extra 2,000 to 552,000 or all in, and was soon very glad he did.
Kerignard:
Guldhammer: a lacklustre but still very live
Board: wait for it....
... !
Guldhammer made a full house but Kerignard's quad aces were emphatically the winning hand there. He doubled to 1.146 million, and though Guldhammer is still in the lead on 2.6 million, the gap is closing somewhat.

We're still nine-handed at the unofficial final table, and the players have been sent off for a 15-minute break (of which a few minutes have already elapsed). We'll be back with Level 24 shortly.
