We just caught up with Roberto Romanello as we broke and he told us how he lost half of his stack while playing on the feature table. He was all-in pre flop against Paul Berende's 
and Romanello had 
. Romanello was already thinking about his 600,000 stack when a flop of 
quashed his dreams - he now has 250,000
The board read 
when we arrived, and Matthias De Meulder (big blind) had checked. Marius Pospiech (cutoff) went all in for 142,000, prompting a spell in the tank for De Meulder that lasted long enough for us to catch several exits at other tables. When we returned, De Meulder made the call - but nodded and mucked to Pospiech's 
straight.
De Meulder is down to 230,000.
- Daniel Dodet, his 
no good against Gilles Jean Louis Michaud's 
- Michael Schuerpf, dominated with 
against Giuseppe Pantaleo's 
- Mark Alfred Bolliger, his 
failing to spike a thing against Allan Sice's 
Juan Company has just imploded and gone from hero to zero in a very short space of time.
On a 
flop, Konstantin Puchkov bet, Company shoved and Puchkov beat him into the pot with the call.
Company: 
- for top pair
Puchkov: 
- for top set
The turn and 
river were just a formality and Puchkov increased his stack to 800,000, whilse Senor Company was left nursing a 47,000 extremely short stack
Two hands later and Puchkov raised on the button to 31,000, Company moved all-in for what was now his last 40,000 chips and Puchkov had the easiest call of his life.
Puchkov: 
Company: 
The final board read 
and Company was eliminated. Wow.
Ben Warrington has been eliminated after he shoved his last 21,000 into the middle with 
and was called by Marco Bognanni and Mihails Morozovs. Morozovs and Bognanni checked the action down on a board of 
and Bognanni won the pot with only Queen high.
Lari Sihvo was betting out 95,000 when we arrived on the turn of the 
board. A player we were referring to as Batman owing to his rather nice glittery Batman logo t-shirt - we later discovered that he was one Thor Stang - shoved for 257,000. Sihvo called, and they flipped the cards.
Stang: for a flopped straight and a flush draw
Sihvo: 
for a bigger flush draw, but no straight
River: 
Stang doubled up, leaving Sihvo reduced to a precarious 130,000.

Shander De Vries has doubled up through Ben Warrington. All the money went in pre flop and Warrington was holding and had a stack that covered that of De Vries who was holding 
.
Board: 
was good enough for De Vries.
De Vries ~356,000
Warrington ~217,000
Daniel Egea has just had his stack cripped by a fellow short stack, Daniel Dodet after he moved all-in from the button with 
and Dodet woke up in the big blind with !
The flop drew some ooohs and aaahs as a ten would split the pot, but the turn and river came and respectively and Dodet was doubled up to 137,000, whilst his opponent is languishing with a tiny 55,000 stack.
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened for 22,000 under the gun, only to find Jesus Cortes Lizano reraising him to 59,000. ElkY repopped for 160,000 total, and after a few moments of working out what would be the best course of action, Lizano went all in. ElkY called all in, and it was a swift and clinical end for the Team PokerStars Pro.
ElkY: 
Lizano:
Board:
By the by, the demise of ElkY means that we will not be seeing anyone claim a second EPT title this time around. The only other EPT champion left in the field, Jan Boubli, busted just before the break, and we are 100% certain that we will be crowning a brand new champion this week.
Mr. Lizano is up to 950,000, almost three times what he started this level with.
