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.
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:
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.
Tristan Clemencon opened to 13,500 from the button and Miltiadis Kyriakides made it 31,500 in the big blind, the Frenchman moved all-in and was snap-called.
Clemencon:
Kyriakides: A pretty brave snap-call with
The board came and Clemecon was left wishing boards were six cards long.
Clemencon dropped to 132,000 while Kyriakides doubled up to 366,000.

Henrique Pinho opened to 15,000 preflop and Kevin Vandersmissen reraised all-in for about 60,000 from middle position. Passed back to the Portuguese Team Pro and he made the call.
"Please show a weak ace," said Vandersmissen turning over and Pinho obliged flipping .
But the board came and the Snowfest runner-up was eliminated. Pinho is up to about 560,000
