While the feature table was enjoying some fine action, there was rather less of note going on at the outer table.
Raises were as follows:
Matthias Lotze - one, to 66,000
Jose Severino - two, back to back, to 80,000 both times
Konstantinos Nanos - one, to a rather hefty 115,000
When Brun Launais attempted a button raise to 68,000, though, he was swiftly pushed off by a reraise to 168,000 from Severino in the big blind.
Kirill Zapletin raised and Daniel Negreanu called to see an 
flop. Negreanu check-called Zapletin's 100,000 bet and they saw another card.
Both players checked the 
turn and continued on to the 
river. This time Negreanu bet out 135,000 - but was now met with a small raise to 285,000 from Zapletin. After a moment he called, and discovered that his pocket deuces were good against Zapletin's 
.
The massaging continues.
Not in some kind of Jekyll and Hyde good chipleader/bad chipleader way, but in the sense that he's been sat on both sides of Konstantinos Nanos today. He started out his right-hand-side neighbour, and somehow the draw fell so that he's ended up on a different table his left-hand-side neighbour, which must be a better position for him. He's still on over 1.2 million chips, despite conceding a small pot to Morten Erlandsen.
Erlandsen limped on the button and Lotze checked his option, while small blind Nanos threw his hand away (although, weirdly, on the 
flop, he checked in turn anyway). No bet from either player here, but on the turn Lotze fired 33k, which Erlandsen called. The river was the 
and now Lotze checked and Erlandsen bet 52k. It looked like Lotze was going to make the call right up until the moment he suddenly folded instead, putting his 52k back on his chip towers.
First five-bet for some time, up on the feature table, as [Removed:40] opened to 70,000 and was met with a reraise from Kirill Zapletin in the small blind. Vitagliano dwelled up for some time, before four-betting to 330,000.
Zapletin, who the EPT Live commentators seem to think looks like James May but we are more inclined towards Bill Bailey, widened his eyes in a look that was half horror, half defiance. He announced all in.
"How much?" Vitagliano snap-enquired; it was for 983,000 in total. He tanked up for a while, but eventually folded, looking a bit unwell as he did so.
Jose Severino opens the action from under the gun with a raise to 80,000 and Morten Erlandsen makes the call to his left and the two of them see a 
board. Severino gives his little pinky check as he just taps the felt with his little finger and Erlandsen announces "Check." The turn is the and out comes Severino's little pinky again. Erlandsen announces "Check." The river is the 
and Severino bets 85,000 and Erlandsen folds.
Then Erlandsen opened from UTG with a bet of 70,000 and Bruno Launais called from the cut-off. Launais asked Erlandsen how much he had left behind. "500?" said Erlandsen and Team Pokerstars Pro Hruby stopped his I Pod and took his ear-piece out before making the call from the Big Blind. The flop was 
and they all checked. the turn was 
Hruby checked and Erlandsen bet 120,000 and took down the pot.
The last of Anestis Pantazidis' chips (around 500k) made their way into the pot preflop when he picked up 
, but this time there was a bigger hand lurking and ready to call: 
. The ladies belonged to Balazs Botond, and held as all five board cards emerged 
. More feature table handshakes, and we're down to lucky 13.
Martin Hruby has been less active today than on previous days, dropping in chips by a few hundred thousand but still maintaining a top-eight stack. He took a few back from Matthias Lotze just now, calling on the button (66k) and then quickly raising when Lotze bet out 72k on the 
flop. He did not have to wait long for his 170k to be returned to him, along with the rest of the pot.
Konstantinos Nanos is up to 3.3 million after raising to 75,000 from the small blind. He got a call from Matthias Lotze in the big blind, and they saw a flop.
Nanos fired out on every street of the 
board - 95,000 on the flop, 140,000 on the turn and 300,000 on the river. Lotze quickly and quietly called the flop and turn bets, but come the river, he paused. He tanked up for a long time, tapping a yellow chip against the felt, and eventually he folded. He's down to 890,000 after that curious hand.

With blinds at 15,000/30,000 and a 3,000 ante there is quite a lot of money in the pot to be won uncontested. Konstantinos Nanos has noticed this and has taken the previous three pots and just when people thought he was at it he turned his cards the third time to show 
.
