Last casualty before the break was Artem Litvinov, whose pocket fives failed to improve against Michal Polchlopek's pocket jacks. Polchlopek's stack looked to be at 500,000 or so after that hand, around twice the average.
We caught up with an interesting blind-on-blind confrontation on the turn, the board reading 
. It looked as though Toni Ojala (small blind) had check-raised. Seppo Parkkinen (big blind) appeared to have bet; either way, he was calling the raise when we arrived.
They saw a 
river and this time Ojala bet 87,000 - we think this was the entirety of his remaining stack, although there was a dealer awkwardly in the way so we cannot confirm it one way or the other. Parkkinen tanked up for a minute or two before tentatively pushing the call across the line - and then mucking when Ojala turned over 
for a turned straight.
Ojala upped his stack to around 330,000. Parkkinen meanwhile dropped back to 150,000.
Pustolas Povilas was all-in preflop with 
against Konstantin Bilyaver's 
but couldn't spike a seven on a 
board. He had three pair but it wasn't the best three pair as Kings and Tens (and Deuces) beats Kings and Sevens (and Deuces).
Tomer Berda has finally been eliminated, pushing for 20,000 and getting isolated by Chady Merhej in the small blind. Big blind Arnaud Mattern reraised though and Merhej passed.

And with that Berda busts, taking home €6,350 with him. Perhaps more than he thought he get an hour ago.
We have two Jaatinens in our field today - Mikko and Jussi - and our Finnish friends in the press room have confirmed that these two are indeed brothers. Both Jaatinens are now in the money, both of them on roughly average stacks, and are not going anywhere for a while. It could be rather interesting if they end up at the same table.
Seppo Parkkinen opened in the hijack to 16,000, and the button three-bet to 42,000. In the big blind, Jean-Daniel Pessina moved all in for a total of 55,500. Parkkinen tank-folded, and the button called the extra few chips with . Pessina was in the lead with 
, and he stayed that way as the board ran out 
.
Oscar Teran has enjoyed a most fortunate double up as his 
came good against Konstantin Bilyaver's when the 
made them both a flush, Teran's ace-high. Bilyaver shook his head as he paid up and dropped to 275,000. Teran doubled to 160,000.
Ali Tekintamgac checked a board reading 
, and his only opponent, Vitalijs Zavorotnijs, quietly moved all in for about pot. It would be 130,000 or so for Tekintamgac to call. He tanked for several minutes, a confused look on his face. Tekintamgac looked around for help, but none was coming, and he eventually folded. He's slipped slightly to 530,000.
Mark Dalimore opened for 15,000 from the button only for small blind Frederik Boberg to make it 42,000 - and then for big blind Jussi Jaatinen to push from the big blind. Dalimore, well, dallied for a little while, but eventually he folded. Boberg swiftly folded too, and Jaatinen took the pot.
A couple hands later and we found Dalimore all in against Jaatinen, the cards already on their backs.

Mr. Dalimore and his extensive collection of Ed Hardy merchandise will not be going any further in this tournament as he picks up a min-cash for his efforts.
