Action-Packed So Far

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

First hand with everyone at the feature table, Max Heinzelmann raised and short stack Joep van den Bijgaart shoved from the big blind. No call, and we remained nine-handed.

Second hand of the unofficial final table and Armin Mette open-shoved from the button. Blinds van den Bijgaart and Ben Wilinofsky folded, and play continues.

Daniel Pidun Eliminated in 9th Place (€45,000)

EPT Berlin 2011 has its final table set!

It was once chip leader Daniel Pidun who hit the rail in 9th place, picking up a big hand shortly after all the remaining players had been seated around the same table. He three-bet (375,000) from the blind and original raiser Armin Mette moved in. He called. The whole thing took less than two minutes (unusual for a recently-formed TV table).

A nervous-looking Mette stood up and leaned on his chair, his T-shirt reading TOUGH AIN'T ENOUGH.

But {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} were enough. Pidun showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

Even with a flop of {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} there was room for drama as the turn brought Pidun some outs - the {Q-Hearts}. But the river was the {K-Hearts} and Pidun falls at the final hurdle of Day 4.

Final Table Ahoy

Around 10 minutes into post-prandial play, we are done for the day.

Our official eight-handed final table is all set for tomorrow, and it's one of the best we've seen in a while. Virtually tying for the chip lead are two young internet kids. Ahead by around 200,000 is young Canadian Ben Wilinofsky, enjoying his first ever live cash - "RIP legendary Hendon Mob page" he wrote on Facebook when he made the money. Go check it out before they give him a line. Just behind him is Maximilian Heinzelmann. The 20 year old German has cashed in EPTs before but this is his biggest live cash by a long way.

Also still in, and making his third EPT final table this season, is EPT fixture Martin Jacobson. He came second at both Vilamoura and Deauville, and also third at EPT Budapest back in 2008. He is still searching for that elusive first place, though. This could be the one.

Also still in the running, although rather short, is Team PokerStars Pro Joep van den Bijgaart. This is van den Bijgaart's second EPT cash and his first EPT final. Wherever he finishes, this will be his biggest ever live cash.

Play is due to resume at noon tomorrow. There will be a live feed, and we will be peering around the cameras and people with clipboards in an effort to bring you photos, banter, and all the action.
