Further happiness for Szymon "Scrabbleman" Pieszczoch as his 
came good on the 
board to knock out Julien Claudepierre who had gone all in with 
.
Pieszczoch (we are getting better at typing his name now) is up to 266,000.
Carsten Joh might have thought he was going to get Dieter Albrecht in a big pot just now, as his threebet (12,200) preflop was called, and it looked like there was little slowdown on the 
flop. Albrecht checked, Joh bet 12k, and Albrecht raised to 25k. It took a short while, but Joh called. The turn was the and now Albrecht checked and Joh, after another little think, moved all-in. Albrecht's turn to deliberate now, and after a good while he decided against putting his tournament life on the line with what, judging from his relief at seeing Joh's 
, would have probably been a losing hand.

You do not have to hit the dance floor, but you do have to leave the tournament area.
Back in 15 minutes.
Darus Suharto was still knocking about despite his earlier crippling, but after some hours of grindage he has finally succumbed.
Just now he knocked out micro-stack Csaba Szasz - another chap who would do well in Scrabble - who went all in for 13,000 with 
. Suharto made the call with 
and proceeded to spike on the 
board.
Even after that, though, Suharto's stack was still only at 45,000 and the normally cheery Team PokerStars Pro looked rather dejected. A few hands later he was all in against Mark Radoja's 
. We didn't see what Suharto had but he couldn't beat it, and it's game over for Mr. Suharto.
Young Pokerstars Online Qualifier Michael Eiler is having some serious fun over at table 3 this morning. Not only did he crush Dwan's Kings with a set of three's earlier but he also won a number of pots from Dwan with some aggressive pre flop three-betting as well. We caught up with a critical hand just before the break that once again involved Michael Eiler.
We caught the action with almost everyone else at the break and two solitary players left on table 3. The board was 
and Eiler who was in the Small Blind had a bet of 14,600 in front of him and his opponent Nikita Malinovskiy had a raise of 30,000 laid out in front of him. Malinovskiy had over ~100,00 behind and Eiler had just under 100,000. Eiler shipped his whole stack over the line to declare an all-in. Malinovskiy did not like that one bit and asked for a count after a long deliberation. The Dealer told Malinovskiy it would be 70,000 more to call and after a long pause Malinovskiy folded.
Eiler now has ~160,700
One of the worlds greatest players will have to wait a little while longer before he can add EPT glory to his CV. Tom Dwan has been eliminated from EPT Vienna after what has been a very frustrating morning for the young American.
We did not see the actual hand play out but have been informed that it went down as follows. The play was three-handed going to the flop of 
and all three players checked. The turn was a 
and Stavros Kalfas made a bet of around 10,000 into a pot of 14,000 and Dwan moved all in and Kalfas made the call. Dwan held 
and Kalfas 
and eliminated Dwan with his kicker.
Over at table 20 Richard Gryko has just added 35,000 to his stack by eliminating Daniel Dodet when his 
beat the unfortunate Dodet's 
after the lady appeared on the flop. Gryko then found another hand immediately after and opened in early position for 3,500. Morten Erlandsen was lurking on the button and three-bet Gryko to the tune of 8,300. Gryko made the call and the dealer gave us a flop of 
. Gryko quietly checked, so quietly in fact that Erlandsen didn't hear it and asked him if he had checked. Gryko acknowledged that he had and Erlandsen bet 7,500 and Gryko folded.
Erlandsen in seat 6 now has a stack of ~ 110,500, Sergii Baranov sat in seat 2 has a stack of ~ 198,000, Brian Green in seat 4 has a stack of ~27,200 and Richard Gryko in seat 3 has a stack of ~95,000
People who do not have as many chips as they probably should right now include:
- Laurence Houghton - after smacking pocket tens into aces early in the day, he managed to smack jacks into aces a little later on and is now down to 45,000.
- Tom Dwan - managed to lose two coinflips in quick succession; both times his opponent made a set and Dwan is down to 48,000. Curiously, the number of railers he has seems to be directly proportional to the size of his stack, and the annoying crowd that previously encircled his table has now almost completely dispersed.
- Pieter de Korver - we're actually not sure what happened to him, but he's down to 23,000.
Meanwhile in other news, Luke Schwartz has got a T100 chip stuck in a bottle top and cannot get it out. It represents actually a decent proportion of his current 28,000 stack, so if anyone has a knife or some other wedging device, please send it to Table Schwartz.
