Roberto Nulli has taken a hit after calling Jean Sami Souleiman's button raise from the big blind. They saw a 
flop and we believe that the action went check-bet-raise-shove. Nulli thought about it for a long time, but he eventually folded after having invested perhaps 140,000 in the hand.
Josh Prager, the sole Prager remaining in this tournament since his wife Helen got her queens cracked by jacks in the last hand of play last night, has doubled up to around 290,000. Denis Kipnis opened from the hijack and Prager shoved from the cutoff.

Ludovic Marguerat got his whole stack in with 
and found himself in a lot of trouble against Rob Hollink's 
. The board ran out a deuce-free 
and Marguerat became the first casualty of the day.
The Season 1 EPT Grand Final champion is up to around 850,000.
Kevin MacPhee: "You're a Magic player, right?"
Manuel Bevand: "Yup."
Marcin Horecki: "Me too."
Rob Hollink, to Bevand: "I thought they were all young kids, 20 years old."
The conversation descended into geekery concerning who had played whose deck and their relative merits.
Play has started here at the Hilton, where the players are continuing to play Level 21, the level we got three minutes into before the tournament was paused yesterday.
The plan is to play down until the final table of eight, however long that may take

Good morning and welcome back to snowy Prague, where Christmas has come early for 23 lucky players. We were meant to be coming back with 24 players for this penultimate day, but following the surprise bonus elimination of Helen Prager in the last hand of last night, we are one short coming back for Day 4.
Chip leader heading into the day is Kevin MacPhee - one of three previous EPT winners still in the field, the other two being Salvatore Bonavena and Rob Hollink. In fact, this is a very impressive Day 4 all round - in addition to these luminaries, we still have Roberto Romanello, Melanie Weisner, 24th place finisher Helen's husband Josh Prager and Team PokerStars Pros Marcin Horecki and Richard Toth in the running.
Play is due to resume at noon, PokerStars Christmas party hangovers notwithstanding, and we'll be playing right down to a final table. Please stand by.
