Well, mostly it's the Perrins show - he has definitely been the most aggressive player at the outer table, raising nearly every hand, and so far seems to have got the better of at least one opponent, Josef Klinger.
First up we saw Klinger raise to 140,000 under the gun and Perrins reraise to 380,000 out of the small blind. Short-stacked Herve Costa in the big blind thought about it for a long time but folded. Klinger, however, made the call.
They saw a flop and went no further, because Perrins bet out 340,000 and Klinger gave it up there. One-nil to Perrins.
Next hand Perrins raised to 125,000 on the button and Klinger called in the big blind before checking the flop. Perrins bet 150,000 and Klinger folded. Two-nil.

It folded around to Dominykas Karmazinas in the small blind who raised to 140,000; table captain Matt Perrins made the call. The Lithuanian proceeded to check the flop and then folded to a 160,000 bet from Perrins.

It folded around to Matt Perrins in the small blind who asked for a count on big blind Herve Costa - a little under 600,000. Then he raised to cover him.
Costa dwelled up for a while and was surprised when the dealer announced all in and call - for he had not called. The dealer was put right, all the railers who had suddenly craned over the rail to see dispersed, and after a very short time Costa folded. Once again, the pot went to Perrins.

Bonavena - 11th place
Up on the feature table Nicolas Chouity and was faced with a push for 1,420,000 from Salvatore Bonavena in the small blind. Chouity thought about it...
...and thought about it...
...and then he called.

Board:
Chouity spiked, Bonavena failed to re-spike, and thus we lose our last EPT champion. Chouity, on the other hand, is in an extremely good spot to pick up an EPT title of his own - on 8.6 million after that, he's got double the stack of his nearest rival with 10 players left.
