Former chip monster Kevin Vandersmissen has fallen on comparatively hard times - he ran a set of sevens into a set of kings for a 75,000 pot and then suffered several, rather smaller misfortunes, to drop him right down to 57,000.

Last week Tony G gave Marvin Rettenmaier the nickname "Mad" in his blog describing him as having "the Germanic mathematical game but he has heart, he is winning, he gets drunk, he loses his passport – he is also running good. Make the most of it Mad Marvin"
Well Herr Rettenmaier has just lived up to his new found nickname in a pot with Michael Schurpf just moments ago. Schurpf made a bet of 1,400 when the table folded to him in middle position and Rettenmaier, who was next to act, three-bet to 3,625. When the action folded back around to Schurpf he sat motionless, staring intensely at his opponent for over a minute before counting out the necessary chips to make the call.
The flop of 
saw a check from Schurpf, a bet of 3,650 from the mad one and after another minute of thinking time, a call from Schurpf. The 
fell on the turn and this time both players checked their option, which is exactly what they did when the 
made an appearance on the river.
As Rettenmaier was the last person to show any aggression in the hand he was asked to reveal his cards but he refused at first before laughing and turning over 
for a complete bluff, whilst Schurpf turned over 
for the win, boosting his stack to 44,000.

Wow, not one, but both De Meulder brothers showed up in the press room just now, busto within seconds of each other. "Yeah, I came to get a cigarette," said Christophe, "And then like one minute later [Matthias] was smoking with me."

Michael Tureniec fired out 2,600 on a 
flop against Bodo Sbrzesny who flat-called, the latter then bet 3,200 on the turn when Tureniec checked but the Swede made the call to see the 
river.
Both players checked and Sbrzesny turned over 
never ahead of his opponent's 
.
Tureniec has 144,000
Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
Michael Tureniec, the EPT Copenhagen Champion, has really got his foot on the gas right now and is sat behind several towers of chips that total around 210,000!
He had already taken over the chip lead after this hand and he has now extended his advantage over the rest of the field after a good call on the river in a hand against Sandro Ruegg.
Joining the hand on the turn, where the board read 
Ruegg bet 12,200 and Tureniec made the call. The river was the and Ruegg bet again, this time 16,500, leaving himself around 22,000 behind. Tureniec went into the tank for almost three minute and when he emerged he made the call.
Ruegg acknowledged the call and turned over 
, not good enough to beat Tureniec's 
Only the arrival of the Grim Reaper himself could make our Table of Death more lethal now, following the addition of ElkY in the one seat.
