Florian Langmann made the opening raise, and Dmitry Vitkind the reraise. Back and forth they went until Vitkind five-bet all in; Langmann called and they were on their backs.

The floor lady counting out Langmann's stack failed to include the 100,000-or-so four-bet he'd put in the middle and declared his stack at around 115,000; he put her right. "No, those are also mine," he said, pointing to the chips in question. Then he added, "Cool, huh?"
The cheerful Langmann is up to around 650,000. Vitkind headed off to the break with the knowledge that when he returns it will be to a miniscule 50,000 stack.
A three-way pot ended up being Martin Jacobson's last. It was Michael Tureniec, to whom the last level has not been kind, who made the call which sent Jacobson out. The flop of brought the big betting. Jacobson (small blind) checked and the third player in the hand - presumably the preflop original raiser - bet 33,500. Tureniec on the button called, and then Jacobson moved all in for 300k total. Only Tureniec looked interested in the hand, still, and after a brief think he made the call. His was comfortably ahead of Jacobson's and improved to the nut flush by the river.
The recent flurry of elimination has brought EPT Copenhagen's Main Event down to just four tables of eight. Richard Dalberg is among the latest casualties, moving in after a bit of a dwell on a . Andrea Dalle Molle snap-called with , and Dalberg's stayed behind on the turn and river.
Molle was delighted and turned to his rail with the usual expressions of victory. He had been going into short-stacked territory himself, and that pot brings him back in the game as the prize money rises to DKK 75,000.
After building his stack right back up to over 200,000, Johnny Lodden got the whole lot in with but failed to spike against his opponent's . Out he goes into the Copenhagen night.
Ørjan Skommo opened to 17,000 from the button and Jan Sørensen made it 45,000 in the big blind, only for Skommo to move all-in. Sørensen tanked for three minutes before calling off his stack with , ahead of Skommo's bluffy but live .
The board was and Sørensen doubled up to about 550,000 while Skommo takes a big hit and drops to about the same
Johnny Lodden's recovery continues, and he's now up to 210,000 - not bad seeing as he was down to just 30,000 around half an hour ago.
Mostly these extra chips were earned through the time-honoured technique of raising a lot and not getting called, although we did see one of his raises getting called by Nikolas Liakos. Liakos, in the big blind, checked the flop and then called around 20,000 from Lodden; he checked again on the turn, but this time folded to a 33,000 bet from Lodden.
Helge Rahbeck, who inexplicably flat refused to provide PokerStars with his name and chip count at the last break, can now be confirmed at 256,000 after he opened for 17,500 and then shoved for 173,500 to a 50,000 reraise from Pernille Ravn. Ravn laid it down, and Rahbeck took the pot.
It was passed to Michael Tureniec in the small blind, who, looking over at Mudassar Khan's 90,000 stack, simply put down a stack of 5k yellow chips in the middle.
Khan snap-shoved and flipped (after his opponent made a trivial call for the rest) to Tureniec's and after a board of , the Swede slipped to 650,000 while Khan now has about 200,000.
The unflappable Per Linde has such a stack now that taking potshots at shorter players preflop cannot damage him. In the security of a chip millionaire, it looks like a preflop war against Simen Johannessen had found him committing 290k preflop to call his all-in. The hands were on their backs as we approached the table.

The dealer chopped the pot and a ruffled Johannessen shook his head.
