Anton Thotatinsson opened preflop from early position to 47,000 getting called by Kristijonas Andrulis next to him and Henrique Pinho in the blinds.
The flop came down and it was checked to the Icelandic player who quickly fired out 45,000. Andrulis folded but Pinho called to see a turn, where the Portuguese player now bet 120,000 and again Pinho called.
The river was the and Pinho checked a final time, Thotatinsson now bet 120,000 again and Pinho looked frustrated. He tanked for a couple of minutes before Thotatinsson called the clock on him, at this point the Portuguese Team PokerStars Pro made the call.
Thotatinsson showed and Pinho scooped a large pot to boost himself to 1.4 million when he turned over .
Robin Ylitalo raised to 43,000 and on the button Anton Thotatinsson shoved for 468,000. "Come onnnn," said Thotatinsson, bouncing in his chair and grinning. He called the clock after perhaps 20 seconds. For some reason this was allowed, but either way, before the TD could start the countdown, Ylitalo called.
Ylitalo:
Thotatinsson:

The king on the door was swiftly followed by a set of eights for Ylitalo. He made a full house on the turn, the miracle king failed to materialise on the river, and the Icelander was iced.
When we return tomorrow, Ylitalo will have 1.2 million. Ladies and gentlemen, we are at long last done for the night.
With 24 players left, we are finished after a long gruelling day's play in which we lost 95 players who all managed to make at least €7,500. However, it's Daniel Pidun who ended the day as chip leader with 2,429,000 after winning several late pots from Maximilian Heinzelman and Mikhail Lahkov.
Among the many players who finished in the cash were the Snowfest top three, Vladimir Geshkenbein, Kevin Vandersmissen and Koen De Visscher but all three busted out by the end of the day.
We have also lost all our former EPT winners during the events of today, Barcelona winner Kent Lundmark and Tallinn champion Kevin Stani were the final two to be eliminated today. However, Martin Jacobson who finished second at both Deauville and Vilamoura (as well as cashing at Copenhagen) still remains in the field, as does Canadian Ben Wilinofsky.
PokerStars Team Pros Joep van den Bijgaart and Henrique Pinho both had late surges to both make it around the 1.4 million mark. Fabrice Soulier went the other way today, making it through but finishing with less chips than he started with after some very tough grinding.
Tomorrow we will be starting at 1pm not 12pm, so we'll be getting an extra hour of sleep tonight. Hurrah!
