The Ups and Downs of Viktor Blom
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Viktor Blom's table looks like it is next for the chop as it is located right on the outer rim of the tournament area and right now a move may be good for him.
His chip stack is now around the 83,000 mark which means he has either lost a big pot or lots of pretty big pots.
We asked him what had happened but he was not very forthcoming with his response!

Saout Shines
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Having huge towers of 100 chips generally means you have been pretty active sweeping up a lot of ante's. The player sat in seat 9 over on table 8 has such a stack and he opened up the action in this hand from under the gun with a raise of 3,100. The action folded around to Antoine Saout in the small blind who called before the big blind folded.
The flop was 
and Saout checked to the raiser who made a bet of 3,700. Saout flicked his scarf back before making the check raise to 10,600. His opponent counted out a four bet and played with it for a little while before folding.
Saout is now up to ~137,000
Gorce 10 From Navarone
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
With the board reading 
, Guillaume de la Gorce bet 16,000 into Dori Yacoub, the Lebanese player sighing loudly before paying the Frenchman off.
De la Gorce turned over 
for a rivered set and Yacoub was left declaring, "I should've moved all-in on the turn...What a river!"
Yacoub has about 14,000 remaining while de la Gorce is back up to around 200,000.
Viktor Has Been Eliminated by Cyril
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
He brought us plenty of fun and action yesterday when he tangled with Almira Skripchenko and Jean Noel Thorel but Viktor "Isildur1" Blom's EPT experience has ended at the hands of a Frenchman called Cyril.
We caught the action as Blom was making a rather swift exit. The board was showing 
and the winning hand of 
was also on display. It belonged to Cyril Hanouna and he is the man responsible for eliminating Blom. Apparently, Hanouna opened from the button and Blom shoved for 30,000 and Hanouna called.
Blom had a pair of sixes and was heading for a double up until the river made a flush for Hanouna.

Ion & On
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Chuckling around Ion Pavel's table alerted us to the fact that he was doubling up in spectacular fashion. We only saw the very end of the hand, but the cards looked like so:

The EPT Prague 11th place finisher and ski hat enthusiast doubled to 85,000.
The Chip Leaders Table Report
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Guillaume de la Gorce finished Day 1a as the chip leader so we have been watching his table to see how he is wielding his big stack but it is Tom Macdonald who has grabbed our attention.
Marc Delimel opened with a raise from early position when he made it 2,800 to play. Macdonald was sat waiting in the small blind and when the action folded around to him he three bet making it 7,500 to play. Delimel called and we saw a flop of 
. Macdonald took the betting lead and made it 10,000 to play but Delimel raised to 23,500. Macdonald asked to see Delimel's stack and Delimel moved his hands out of the way so Macdonald could have a good stare. Macdonald realising that he had Delimel covered moved all-in and after a long pause the Frenchman folded leaving him 42,000 behind.
Tom Macdonald ~ 155,000
Guillame de la Gorce ~ 211,000
Baldassari Builds His Boat
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Chris Brammer is one of the slightly less well-known UK players playing here today, but the Brit is still well-regarded by peers, however he just opened to 2,700 from the button and Fabrizio Baldassari made the call in the big blind.
The flop came 
and both players checked to see the 
turn, Baldassari checked a second time and Brammer bet 3,000 only for Baldassari to suddenly to check-raise to 8,700. Brammer tanked before making the call and called an additional 9,000 on the river, the Italian flipped 
though and the full house was good enough for the pot.
