Berhard Perner moved all-in preflop for his last 50,000 preflop then decided inexplicably to turn over his before half the table still had acted. Claudiu Secara then folded 9's face up from the blinds.
Perner managed to win the pot, but then got a one round penalty for his antics.
Pontus Nima Khosravi is the unlucky 73rd place finisher, the last person in this event who will not walk away with a cash prize.
Tournament director Thomas Kremser informed the media and the players that there was an all in and a call at the back end of the room and the entire room ran to find out if the bubble was going to burst.
Khosravi: - At risk
Vandermissen:
Board: - and with it the bubble was burst, though Khosravi does win a helicopter ride around the Austria Alps from the owners of the Alpine Palace.
Domantas Klimciauskas opened to 11,000 under the gun and Alex Kravchenko called behind before Bastien Casanova shoved for his last 24,500 from the button. Klimciauskas now reraised to 50,000, driving Kravchenko into the tank for a while. When he emerged, it was to push all in for around 325,000.
Klimciauskas folded and Kravchenko and Casanova turned their cards over.
Kravchenko:
Casanova:
Board:
Casanova more than tripled up to around 85,000, with the maximum of relieved huffing and puffing. Kravchenko roughly broke even.
Ismael Colin Bojang pushed from the button and in the big blind Vladimir Geshkenbein thought about briefly. "I usually snap this," he told him cheerfully. "Any other player..."
Geshkenbein called anyway, and they were on their backs.
Geshkenbein:
Bojang:
Board:
The two of them spent the time it took to deal the board calling out cards that they would like to drop on the felt, culminating in Bojang requesting a ten on the river, which didn;t come. "Ten wouldn't have helped," Geshkenbein told him. "Oh, wait..."
Anyway, Bojang is now busto, and Geshkenbein is up to 700,000, a real force to be reckoned with now.
Constantin Georgescu, Nikolaus Deininger and Eckhard Siefer have all been eliminated from the event, the last of these pushing with into the belonging to Marc Ladouceur.

Michael Tureniec will not be winning back-to-back EPT titles as he has just been eliminated at the hands of Morten Mortensen.

After 20 seconds he announced he was all in and was instantly called by Mortensen, the latter turning over and in front of Tureniec's
