Simon Ravnsbaek is the latest casualty hitting the buffet early, as his 
turned out to be no good against Kevin Vandersmissen's 
. The board came down an ultimately uneventful 
, and Ravnsbaek stopped by the payout desk on his way to dinner.
Vandersmissen is up to 825,000.
Pim van der Aa was the next player to crash out in this super-high-speed Day 2.
He shoved, and to his left Jack Powell reshoved, successfully isolating. Van der Aa's 
were no good against Powell's 
, and van der Aa stood up to leave the second he saw the third king drop.
Board: 
Powell's at 320,000 after that.
Hans Erlandsson has doubled up to 370,000 after coolering Wim Bos. All the chips went in on the turn of a 
board, Bos had flopped the straight with 
but Erlandsson turned over 
for an even better one.
The 
river changed nothing and Bos, who had been one of the chip leaders for much of tournament dropped down to just 200,000.
Martins Adenyia is closing on the chip leaders by continually picking up pots and is now on 775,000.
In his latest hand he checked the 
flop and then called when Andreas Wiese bet 38,000. The turn saw the 
come into play and instead of checking Adeniya bet 67,000, which happened to be enough to force a fold from Wiese.
Italian Giacomo Maisto is the new chip leader after winning a massive pot from Domantas Klimciauskas.
Being at the opposite end of the room didn't help in my quest to piece together what happened but I did manage to get there just in time to see Maisto had tabled 
and the board read 
, which was obviously the best hand as he was busy stacking a huge pile of chips.
His new structure now contains more than 1,300,000
The decision has been made to take a 90-minute dinner break so it would be rude not to take advantage of the excellent buffet on offer here at the Alpine Palace

Russell Carson, who finished 2nd to Allan Baekke at last year's Snowfest EPT, has just been eliminated. He moved all-in with and found Janar Kiivramees pushing all-in behind him with 
"3 outs or go home then," stated Carson who looked on disappointedly as the dealer never really gave him a chance with the 
board.
