Tureniec:
Dion:
The final board of was rather lacking in drama but it meant Dion was eliminated and the man who won EPT Copenhagen just a few weeks ago now has 370,000 chips. Wow!

Morten Mortensen has just lost a little ground on the chip leaders after tangling with Jonathan Vanfleet over on table 7.
Mortensen decided to take a shot at stealing the blinds and antes, which are quite substantial now, when the action folded to him in the hijack seat. Everyone folded to Vanfleet in the small blind and he re-raised the action to make it 12,600 to play. The big blind folded but Mortensen came along for the ride.

Turn: - Vanfleet wasted very little time in betting 17,000 chips into the pot, enough to force a fold from Mr Mortensen.
Jack Powell is back on the up after picking up a 90,000 pot to put him up to 135,000.
The board read when we got there, and Powell was checking the river to Herbert Kern. Kern bet 20,000 and after a short period in the tank Powell called. He was rewarded with just a muck from Kern, and was awarded the pot without having to show his hand. This prompted the rarest of things - a smile from the usually unemotional Powell.
Michael Tureniec check-called a bet of 14,000 on the turn of a board against Yann Dion as these two tangled yet again. Both players checked the river and Dion turned over to win the pot.

A fairly hefty pot had formed by the flop when two-time EPT finalist Artur Wasek check-called 20,000 from Virgilio Di Cicco. He checked again on the turn and this time Di Cicco went all in for 22,400. Wasek called, and made a sound like, "Pffff," when Di Cicco turned over . Wasek could only boast that did not make a set on the river, and Di Cicco doubled to around 110,000. Wasek was left with about 100,000.
