Romanello in Trouble
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Jens Weigel raised and Roberto Romanello reraised to around 25,000. It folded back around to Weigel, who now shoved for an additional 111,500. Romanello tanked up for a long time, a queasy expression on his face, and he eventually folded.
The EPT Prague champion is down to 125,000.
Double Scalp for Sneaky Wilf
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Thomas Bichon and Giovani Cantonati are both out. Cantonati had raised to 14,000 in middle position, called by his neighbour Saar Wilf. Over to cutoff Bichon, who moved all in for 113,000 total with 
.
There followed two more all-ins, but the first took about twenty times longer than the second. Cantonati talked to himself, frowned, counted down his stack, and finally moved in with 
. Wilf immediately called with 
prompting an 'arrrrgh' from the Italian.
The board brought slim hope for Bichon on the turn: 
The river was the 
. Wilf gains over 240,000.
Go Vissch
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Also busto at the end of last level - Koen De Visscher. It's now only Kevin Vandersmissen remaining of the EPT Snowfest finalists.
Eastgates Slam Shut
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Sure enough, Peter Eastgate didn't make it to the end of the level. It's back into "retirement" for the 2008 World Champion, for the moment at least.
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
End of Level Chip Counts (full)
By the by, we could still see someone do the unprecedented double this week - we have four former EPT champions left in the field, in the shapes of Kent Lundmark, Roberto Romanello, Kevin Stani and Joao Barbosa.

Breaking 100
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
With 95 players left, we enter the first 15 minute break of the day.
Ruthless
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We battled through the hordes of cameramen and guys with clipboards and earpieces to find Sebastian Ruthenberg all in against Kristijonas Andrulis. We suspect that the chips went in on the flop.
Ruthenberg:
Andrulis:
Board: 
They shook hands and the Team PokerStars Pro took his leave. "Image is working," said the approving Andrulis - he's up to around 750,000.
Eastgate Heads South
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Peter Eastgate raised in mid position and online qualifier Marco Morales reraised out of the small blind. After a moment, with a suspicious look at his opponent, Eastgate made the call.
Our attention was diverted for a moment by an exit on another table (to follow), and when we returned to Eastgate's table the flop read 
and all the chips had gone in.
Eastgate:
Morales:
Turn: 
River: 
The stacks were counted, and Eastgate had change - around 7,000 chips' worth, or roughly one big blind. The 2008 World Champion may be not long for this tournament.
