The newly chipped up Nikolas Liakos opened to a minimum 80,000 in early position but was dissuaded from continuing with the hand by a three-bet to 200,000 from Michael Tureniec.
Next hand, now under the gun, Liakos raised again. This time he got away with it and picked up the blinds and antes.
Michael Tureniec raised preflop to 85,000, called on the button by Per Linde. At this point small blind Nikolas Liakos moved all in for 1.1 million chips total, which seemed to EPT Live guest commentator JP Kelly like a good idea. He might get that through a lot of the time, but not this time. Tureniec called and the cards were on their backs:
Tureniec: 
Liakos: 
The board ran out 
, and the 
turn and river sent our fourth player to the rail in the second level of the day.
Michael Tureniec opened the button 85,000 and Kevin Iacofano reraised all-in from the big blind, the Swede instantly called and it was not good news for the American.
Tureniec: 
Iacofano: 
The board came 
though and PokerStars qualifier Iacofano caught his much-needed four to double up over the 2 million mark, meaning that all our players now sit with a minimum of 50 big blinds.

Per Linde raised on the button to 85k, and John Eames defended his big blind. The flop came down 
, bringing a 90k bet from Linde. Eames called and checked the next two streets - and 
. Linde had shut down completely and mucked when Eames showed 
.
Per Linde opened to 85,000 under the gun. Everybody folded. Next hand, John Eames opened from the button. Everyone folded again. But the hand after that, Eames and his cowboys would be lassoing a massive double up!
Eames opened to 85,000 under the gun, and this time Per Linde three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind. Back to Eames, who made it 500,000 to go. Linde snap-shoved. And Eames snap-called.
You won't believe what Eames' hand was...
Eames: again!
Linde: 
Board: 
And with that, Per Linde has lost the chip lead for the first time since Day 3 - he's at 2.167 million and is in third place. Eames is now the chip leader on 5.644 million.

Kevin Iacofano opened preflop to 90,000 and Michael Tureniec made the call from the blinds. The flop was 
and Tureniec check-called 125,000 on the flop and then another 260,000 on the scary turn. The river 
went check-check and Iacofano could only muck when Tureniec turned over 
.
The first Kroner millionaire has been created from the finalists. It's Kevin Iacofano, who busted in 4th after Michael Tureniec finessed a call all-in from him on the river. Tureniec on the button bet down the streets, called on the 
flop by Iacofano. The American check-called the turn as well (200k).
The river saw the drama ratchet up, as Tureniec bet the 
in the most extreme way, moving all-in for more than his opponent had in front of him. Iacofano thought about it for a while, finally calling with 
. He shook his head when he saw Tureniec's 
and went for what is one of the saddest interviews we at Pokernews have seen post-bustout.
"My gut was telling me to call, so I did it, but we all know heroes die."
