Manuel Bevand has shot up to almost the peak of the chip stacks, we didn't see the hand but Bevand was holding 
on a 
board and stacking all the chips having eliminated Janek Jevin.
Bevand has 108,000 which he kindly counted for us.
Oleksandr Lysenko has doubled up to about after pushing his last 7,650 all in the middle on a 
flop against Copenhagen winner Michael Tureniec, the Swede having put him to the test but only holding 
, Lysenko had called with 
and survived thanks to an 
turn and 
river.
Over on table 13 you would be forgiven for not realising there were other players apart from the big names that have made it their home for the past seven hours but some of them are not afraid to take on these so-called poker titans.
When everyone folded around to the button, Carlo Misuraca raised it up to 800. Luca Pagano, his fellow countryman, defended his small blind and made the call but Liv Boeree folded her hand.
Flop: 
- Pagano checked, Misuraca continuation bet to 1,025 and Pagano called.
Turn: 
- Pagano checked, Misuraca bet 2,100 and again Pagano called.
River: 
- Both players checked the river and Misuraca revealed 
for a pair of tens, enough to win the pot.
Kevin MacPhee raised preflop to 700 and got cold-called by Kevin Stani in middle position before Frenchman Pierre Fehner came in from the big blind to join in with the two former EPT champions.
Like a pond, there were lots of ducks when the flop came 
and Fehner checked, MacPhee checked behind inviting a swift bet from the Norwegian Stani, who bet 1,200 quickly getting the other two to fold.
It looked as if there was going to be massive pot brewing over on Table 1 but it ended prematurely after a five-bet ended matters.
The action folded around to Kalman Racz in the cutoff and he decided that 750 was a good price to charge the active players to play their hand. Everyone except Tome Moreia folded. Moreia defended his blind by raising to 2,100 but this did not force Racz from his hand. Instead it only seemed to excite him even more as he then made it 5,250 to play.
Moreia then put in yet another raise, this one to 9,100 which caused Racz to rock back in his chair, check his cards and fold.
"Can I see?" asked Moreia but Racz only shook his head but at least he got to see the 
Moreia was holding.
Sandra Naujoks opened to 700 before the awesomely monikered Eros Nastasi three-bet to 2,000 and Philip Meulyzer cold four-bet to 4,600 from the button. In the small blind, Felix Bleiker tanked up for perhaps seven minutes before cold five-betting all in for around 18,000. Big blind and birthday boy Julien Brecard naturally folded, as did Naujoks and Nastasi. Meulyzer called, though, and they were on their backs.
Meulyzer: an unsurprisingly premium 
Bleiker: a rather more esoteric 
Board: 
Bleiker's unorthodox move backfired on him, and he is now busto. Meulyzer is up to 61,000.
Luca Pagano is back up to around 77,000 chips after he gave a lesson in pot control to EPT Tallin Champion, Kevin Stani.
It was Kevin MacPhee who opened the betting with a 700 raise from early position, a raise that Stani three-bet to 2,400 and Pagano, next to act, flat-called. Everyone else folded back to MacPhee and he made the call.
Flop: 
- MacPhee checked, Stani made it 4,800 to play, Pagano smooth called the bet and MacPhee got out of the way.
Turn: - Stani was in no mood for slowing down and he put a bet of 6,700 into the already swollen pot. Once again Pagano simply called.
River: - After being called preflop, on the flop and on the turn Stani now checked and Pagano checked behind, though he turned over 
which was enough to win the hand and boost him to 77,000, whilst Stani dropped to 29,500
Level: 6
Blinds: 200/400

In what looked to be a 4-way 3-bet pot, it was checked to Dennis Rubba, who bet 2,600 on the 
board with Team PokerStars Pro Salvatore Bonavena the only caller.
The came on the turn and Bonavena checked again and Rubba bet 6,500. Bonavena , who is one of 11 former winners in just this half of the field playing today gave it some serious thought but meekly mucked his cards.
Rubba flashed the , what a cheeky chappy.
