It's short stack shoving time (when isn't it time to shove your short stack?) and among the shorties getting shovey are Teddy Sheringham and Fabrizio Ascari. Both were witnessed shoving their big blinds to raises from Frederik Jensen and Rob Hollink respectively; neither push found a call and they picked up the blinds and antes.
By the by, the average stack right now is around 640,000 - that's around 40 big blinds. Ascari and Sheringham have around 20 big blinds apiece.
A huge preflop confrontation between Toby Lewis and the erstwhile chip leader Martin Jacobson saw the former's 
race the latter's 
. Lewis hit a set on the 
flop, but Jacobson made the broadway straight with the 
turn! All change yet again for the final dose of drama as the river paired the board with the 
giving Lewis a house, a double to 1.5 million, and the chip lead.
This hand took all of 30 seconds to complete, but ended Robert Cezarescu's tournament abruptly - he moved in under the gun with 
and it folded round to big blind Marton Czuczor. He instacalled showing 
, the board ran out an uneventful 
and Cezarescu leaves just shy of the two-table mark.
Grzegorz Cichocki opened to 36,000 from the cutoff and Sam Trickett moved all-in from the big blind for about 400,000, Cichocki thought for several minutes before calling for almost all his stack.

The Trickett friendly board came 
and the Brit doubled to nearly 850,000. Cichocki was left with barely a big blind but managed to double the next hand with

The following hand he shoved again, called by Trickett and the big blind. The board of was checked to the river where Trickett bet 16,000 and the big blind folded. Cichocki showed 
but he'd been rivered by his foe's 
and was knocked out in 20th place.
...Hence everyone slightly squintier in these photos than in the ones from Day 3.
Straight after the break, Konsta Vesterinen raised preflop and called the short-stacked shove of Claudio Cecchi. The Italian was slightly ahead with 
against 
and stayed that way until the river card of the 
board. Vesterinen caught the river to boost his stack to 850,000.

Only ten minutes for tthis break due to the shorter than usual level.
Martin Jacobson's giant stack casts a shadow (literally) over everyone else at Table 3. Rob Hollink just found out that the hard way that Jacobson will not be relinquishing a hand easily.
Jacobson opened to 26,000 from the cutoff before Hollink made it 63,000 on the button, Jacobson now made it 163,000 and the Dutchman and only remaining EPT champion still in the tournament was forced to give up his hand.
