Thorsten Schafer opened to 5,200 and got one caller before Juha Lauttamus pushed all in. Schafer made a speedy call, as you do with pocket aces, the other gent got out of their way, and it was a swift and clinical end for Lauttamus.
Lauttamus: 
Schafer: 
Board: 
Schafer is up to around 200,000.
Thorsten Shafer is doing rather well now, and just hoovered in an extra 30,000 from from Mikhail Lakhitov with a raise on the river. He either check-raised the 
river or three-bet the in-position Lakhitov, but either way a long think resulted in the latter's call of around 40,000 (his last bet had been 18,200). Schafer confidently revealed 
for the full house and continues his ascent.
Zoran Mitic just got knocked out by Juha Vilkki, 
for the former were no good against Vilkki's 
after the board came 
. Vilkki has now got 180,000
With a flop of 
Peter Eastgate check-raised Michael Aron's 8,000 bet to 27,700 only for the PokerStars qualifier to click it back to 50,000. Eastgate pushed all-in, a quick call followed.
Eastgate:
Aron: 
The 
turn and 
river changed nothing and the former World Champion was gone. Aron now up to 270,000
Johnny Jensen has taken several hits, and is now down to 237,000 - still above average, but nowhere near the chip lead.
A little while ago he managed to double up Tome Moreira, his no good against Moreira's 
when the board came down 
.
And just now, we found him looking down at a 
board with Simon Hanninger betting out 42,500 into a roughly 80,000 pot. Jensen gave it some good thought, but eventually folded and is out of the upper echelons of the chip counts.
So Johnny Lodden didn't say, letting his chips do the walking as Michael Tureniec took a large pot. Tureniec raised preflop under the gun (5,500) and picked up only Lodden on the button for the 
flop. Tureniec bet out 7,800 - call. The turn brought the and a lead of 14,600 - again Lodden called. The river was the and now Tureniec bet out 32,400. This bet took only slightly longer for Lodden to call, but he mucked when Tureniec showed .
...on through to the other side, yeah!

First his

Thomas Kremser (who is not actually here) has a bet against TD Kevin on the chip leader at the end of the day being a Swede, it's looking good so far...
