Day 3 Beginning Shortly

The largest poker tournament ever to be held in Germany reached the money yesterday with about 50 minutes left in the last level of the day. Out of the 945 players who ponied up the €5,300 to play in EPT Berlin, 144 of them received a return on their investment. Right now, it's Stefan Huber who is the front runner to be the biggest beneficiary as he holds the chip lead coming into Day 3 with 1,087,500.

Plenty of big names still remain in the field of 124 that will be returning in a short while for play. Team PokerStars Pro will be represented by William Thorson, Jude Ainsworth, Marcel Luske, Julian Thew, Vlad Zguba, Benjamin Kang and Johannes Strassmann. There also exists 31 PokerStars qualifiers.

The plan is to play down to only 24 players remain. Yesterday saw a fury of eliminations left and right to take the number from 484 to 124, but today should be a lot slower paced. But as always, anything could happen.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live coverage from the floor at EPT Berlin as things are scheduled to kick off at 12:00 p.m. local time.

Level: 17

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 500

Kang Shoves Over Strassmann

Johannes Strassmann raised from early position to 15,500. Action then folded around to Benjamin Kang in the small blind and he moved all in for just under 160,000. When action got back to Strassmann, he took a minute. Even with being in the top three in chips, Strassmann elected not to give Kang the chance to double up and folded.

Chartier Picks One Up

Action folded to Sam Chartier on the button. He raised to 14,000 and was called by Sven Leu out of the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Leu checked. Chartier asked Leu how much he started the hand with and then bet 18,500. Leu quickly folded and Chartier picked up the pot.

Tu Tuan To Be or Not to Be

Kristijonas Andrulis raised under the gun and it folded right around to Tu Tuan To in the big blind, who moved all in for his last 70,000 or so. Andrulis squirmed briefly, and then made the call.

To: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Andrulis: {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs}

The two shook hands, and while To headed for the payout desk, Andrulis bumped his stack up to 180,000 or so.

Petersen Goes Shoving

Jesper Petersen raised to 14,000 from early position. Patrick Kubat flat-called from the cutoff seat and then action fell on Theo Jorgensen who was on the button. Jorgensen reraised to 31,000. Petersen reraised all in and Kubat folded. After a couple minutes in the tank, Jorgensen mucked his hand and Petersen raked in the chips.

Less Rheingold for Wagner

With the flop reading {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {J-Clubs} by the time we got there, Robert Wagner had somehow (presumably by way of a bet or a raise) invested 40,000 already. Kfir Yamin, however, pushed his whole stack across the line to cover Wagner, and after a little while Wagner folded. He's down to 175,000.
