Koen De Visscher raised to 62,000 in the small blind, Cristian Dragomir made it 150,000 from the big blind, the Belgian then clicked it back to 252,000 and Dragomir moved all-in. Snap-call.
Dragomir:
De Visscher:
After the board came the Romanian rail went crazy. Dragomir himself jumped over poor De Visscher to high-five fellow Romanian Cristian Tardea while bellowing with delight. Dragomir is up to 1.8 million, De Visscher dropped to 1.7 million
Kevin Vandersmissen has added another little something to his monstrous chip-leading stack and is now back up to around 3.4 million.
Vandersmissen min-raised in early position and it folded around to Manilo Iemina on the button who reraised to 105,000. Back to Vandersmissen, who made it around 250,000 to go, and the hapless Iemina folded, down to under 700,000.
By the by, we believe that this is the first time ever, at any point in any EPT, that three Belgians have topped the chip counts. And all Flemish, at that. Our fourth Belgian Pierre Neuville, although he's the French-speaking kind, is right at the other end of the counts - he's our second shortest stack.
Fresh from winning his massive pot that saw Andreas Wiese eliminated, Koen De Visscher has just won another substantial pot over on Table 3.
De Visscher raised first in from the small blind and Cristian Dragomir made the call from the big blind. The dealer dealt the flop, De Visscher bet 56,000 and Dragomir called.
Both players checked the arrival of the on the turn but when the fell on the river De Visscher fired a bet of 172,000. Dragomir then went deep into the tank, so deep that he called the clock on himself. With around 10 seconds left before his hand would be declared dead, Dragomir made the call but mucked when De Visscher turned over for the straight
It all started with Cristian Tardea leading out for 100,000 on a flop, then Koen De Visscher made it 235,000 to go and suddenly Andreas Wiese moved all-in for his last 596,000.
The action went back to Tardea who seemed highly reluctant to fold his cards, taken several minutes before finally announcing, "Call."
"I'm all-in," said De Visscher behind him and Tardea shrugged and called the extra 200,000 or so.
Wow, look at these hands...
Tardea: for bottom pair and the nut flush draw.
Wiese: for bottom set and drawing dead because...
De Visscher: for top set.
De Visscher was the big favourite while both Tardea and Cristian Dragomir began shouting in Romanian (presumably for a diamond) while Wiese was already packing his things up. The turn did nothing and the only improved Tardea to two pair but still left him in third place.
De Visscher is up to about 2.3 million, Tardea has about 200,000 left and Wieese is out.
Morten Mortensen and Denis Murphy have virtually swapped stacks after Mortensen raised to 42,000 under the gun and Murphy reraised to 106,000.. Mortensen rather quickly shoved for 556,000, Murphy was a little slower to act but eventually made the call, and they were on their backs.

Mortensen:
Board:
Mortensen is now at 1.2 million, while Murphy sinks to 550,000.
