Day 3 Beckons
Hello and welcome back to the Alpine Palace here in Austria for Day 3 of the PokerStars.net EPT Snowfest.
Yesterday 268 players returned to their seats but only 81 of them survived it through the six 75-minute long levels with their chip stacks intact. This means that nine unfortunate souls will walk away empty handed as only the top 72 finishers will make it to the money.
Amongst those returning to the felt are Team PokerStars Pros Alexander Kravchenko, Fatima Moreira de Melo, Sebastian Ruthenberg and Luca Pagano. The man they all have to catch is Belgium's Philip Meulyzer who has managed to turn his 30,000 starting stack into a colossal 623,500 over two days of play.
Play resumes at 1400 local time and we will be playing until just 24 players remain. Tune back in for all the news and action from the tournament floor, it should be fun!

First Blood To Adeniya
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Martins Adeniya has started how he means to go on by picking up a pot rather uncontested.
Over on Table 8 Nikolaus Deininger raised from under the gun to 10,500 and after Sander Benjamins, Adeniya made it 24,000 to play. The action folded back around to Deininger who made the call.
Flop:
- Deininger had already checked in the dark and he quickly released his hand when Adeniya made it 23,400 to play.
Cash for Benjamins?

Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo has suffered an early bit of misfortune, doubling up Sander Benjamins in the process. We didn't catch the action, but we know that the chips went in pre.
De Melo: 
Benjamins: 
Board: 
De Melo tapped the table with a wry smile as she dropped to around 83,000. Benjamins meanwhile is back in the game on around 100,000.
Not A Wiese Decision By Ravnsbaek
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
It could turn out to be a very short day for Simon Ravnsbaek if he keeps bluffing into full houses like has just happened on Table 7.
Joining the action on the 
flop and both players checked. The turn saw the 
come into play, Wiese checked, Ravnsbaek bet 18,400 and Wiese called. The river was the 
and again Wiese checked then Ravnsbaek upped the ante by betting 36,500 and was snap-called by Wiese.
Wiese:
- For a full house
Ravnsbaek: - For not very much at all
Wiese is up to 403,000 whilst Ravnsbaek falls to 293,000
Bein't No Doubt
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Vladimir Geshkenbein opened to 10,000 on the button and Andrey Chesnokov declared he would look at one card before deciding.
"Oh, very good card!" said Chesnokov, thinking for about 30 seconds before moving all-in for little more with Geshkenbein making an automatic call.
Chesnokov: 
Geshkenbein:
The board was 
and Chesnokov was forced to the rail.
Russelling Up More Chips
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
Rolands Norietis moved all-in over the top of last year's runner-up Russell Carson's preflop raise. Pierre Neuville thought for a while before folding, Carson snap-called.
Norietis: 
Carson: 
was the board that finished off the Latvian, Carson now up to about 400,000.
