Antony Lellouche has been eliminated after he bet 20,500 on a but found himself being raised all-in for another 40,000 or so. Lellouche tanked before making the call with for both draws but was behind to Erik Tamm's . A fair number of bullets to dodge then for the Swede but the wasn't fatal to him, Lellouche out as a result.

But even a medium pot loss doesn't make much dent in Elky's stack after he lost a 30,000 when Domenico Antonio Tresa showed on the river of a board.
"ElkY" still has 320,000. Just four times the average then.

Bust-Out #2
Andrew Scott failed to make the grade when his pocket fives did not spike against Domenico Ficarra's pocket jacks. Ficarra rather unnecessarily shouted, "YESSSS!!!" and banged the table once the board had run out a bunch of blanks.

With a board reading Daniele Lanza bet a very small 5,000 with almost 60,000 in the pot and Lanza only having around 30,000 behind.
Samlane Phomveha moved all-in having Lanza just covered and the Italian called, but was shown to bust Lanza, the latter flashing the before shaking his assassin's hand and hitting the rail.

You know we love a good pie chart here at the EPT, so here's a bight shiny one for your viewing enjoyment! This chart represents the breakdown of the field by nationality. Nice work, Italy!

EPT Snowfest winner Allan Bække opened for 3,500 and serial winner of many things Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier called in the hijack. However, Marcello Scaglione (we love these Italian names, so many of them sound like an alcoholic dessert) made it 15,100 to go and everyone passed, ElkY flashing .
Nevertheless, ElkY still looks to be our current chip leader - he's on just about 350,000 after that. Bække, by the by, is on a more modest 55,000.

In early position, Peter Hedlund came in raising to 3,500. A few seats over, Felix Lambertz made the call before Francesco Trimboli moved all in for 35,900 in the small blind. Hedlund didn't waste too much time folding, but Lambertz was looking like a call.
"How much is it?" he double-checked. "I call."
"I thought you had something good," Hedlund interjected. "I saw you looking at my cards. You have jacks? Queens?" Hedlund's not very often wrong in these spots, but he was here. Lambertz turned up , drawing a shocked, "Jesus!" from Hedlund.
Trimboli then tabled his lowlier , and Hedlund was beside himself. "Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!"
The board would run out favorably for the at-risk Trimboli though: . His pair of nines is good enough to double him up over 90,000 and drop Lambertz down to a paltry 10,000 chips. Hedlund was still shaking his head as we walked away from the table.

There was around 30,000 in the pot by the time we arrived on the turn of the board and Otto Sandstrom had either bet or checked; either way there was a bet/raise of 22,000 in front of Sabo Ceylan and Sandstrom's entire stack lay across the line in front of him, enough to cover Ceylan.
Ceylan tanked for a long time but eventually opted to fold. From a pretty decent stack before the hand, he has dropped to a below-average 50,000.
