Wow, some five-betting craziness here as popular Dutchie Steven van Zadelhoff turned the aggression up to 11.
Van Zadelhoff opened for 23,000 in the hijack and Konstantin Bilyaver made it 48,500 from the cutoff. In the small blind, Mattias Jorstedt now made it 113,000 to go.
Back to van Zadelhoff, who quickly announced all in for around 460,000. Bilyaver quickly got out of the way and although Jorstedt took a little longer making his decision, he eventually folded too, sighing deeply.
Van Zadelhoff showed the table pocket jacks and moved up to 620,000.
Anatoli Jevtejev has doubled up through Matvey Linov, pushing his short stack in with 
against Linov's 
.
The flop of 
left it looking bleak for Jevtejev, but the 
turn gave him a big draw which was completed by the river 
.
He's back up to 250,000.
Rob Sherwood moved all-in preflop from early position for around 160,000. Old foe Konstantin Bilyaver made the call from the button.
Sherwood:
Bilyaver: 
A board of 
couldn't save the Brit from being eliminated.
A player opened to 20,500, and Ali Tekintamgac moved all in for about 100,000. He'd been crippled a few hands earlier when his 
lost to Oscar Teran's 
. Nathanael Filskov called out of the big blind, and the original raiser quickly folded.
Tekintamgac: 
Filskov:
The 
board was ace-free, and Tekintamgac was eliminated. His friend Perica Bukara came over to shake his hand as he made his exit. Filskov is up to 590,000.
Kevin Stani made it 24,000 from the cutoff only for Santiago Terrazas to move in for around 125,000 from the small blind. Stani tanked up for a long time, jiggling his leg and periodically checking his hole cards to see if they had maybe changed into something different. He dwelled up long enough for Michal Polchlopek to call the clock, and after about 30 seconds of clock time Stani folded.
Terrazas is still rather precariously perched on only 15 big blinds or so.

By the by, elsewhere in the hotel the €3,200 heads up event is well underway.
The first round is over, and we can tell you that Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst beat the only other woman in the field, Annette Obrestad, in what may have been the sickest table draw of the event. Also through to Round 2 are EPT Kyiv winner Max Lykov, EPT Snowfest winner Allan Bække, and 2008 EPT London runner up Michael Tureniec - the latter of whom will be playing Vanessa Selbst in the next round.
Our field is very slowly but surely thinning - we're at 38 runners as we head into yet another 15 minute break.
