How's It Going?
Peter Hedlund clearly plays much better when he's drinking - he's up to 290,000 and is in a super-happy mood now. He was singing last we checked on him.
Going Down
Canadian-born chess prodigy Jeff Sarwer will be going home to Poland (or more likely on to Monte Carlo) without another EPT cash - he is busto.

Pagano in Danger, Eliminated
The flop came down
, and Pagano check-called a bet of 12,000. On the turn, the drew another check from the Team PokerStars Pro, and Tamm fired another 26,000 chips at the pot. Pagano thought it over for a bit longer this time, but he once again made the flat call.The last card off was the
, and there would be no check from Pagano this time. He slid out 37,000 of his chips, committing just about half his remaining stack. That play sent Tamm into the think tank, and he looked a bit confused at Pagano's line."How much you have behind?" he asked.
Pagano moved his hands to reveal his ~40,000 remainder.
"Call," said Tamm rather quickly thereafter. Pagano sheepishly flipped up his airball
, and Tamm's 
was easily good enough to take down the pot.Luca was left with just those ten big blinds, and we've just heard that he no longer has those either. Mr. Pagano has since been eliminated.

Kim Back in the Game
It's been an awfully long day for the 2008 WSOP finalist, grinding his ten-big-blind stack for hours on end. Finally, the wait has paid off. Kim was lucky enough to pick up pocket aces when a covering stack shoved on him with king-queen. His aces doubled him back into contention, and the newfound chips have given Kim some room to open up his game.
A few small pots later, and he's up to 190,000 just like that.
