A player ID'd by our start-of-day list as Fabrizio Cataldi has replenished his 19,000 stack with a further 19,000 from Julien Stuer, who tried in vain to shift him off a turn card which made the board 
...
. Stuer set his shorter stacked opponent in but winced when he was called by 
. His 
failed to improve and he's down to just over 10,000.
We only caught the very end of the hand, but it was enough to see Jeffrey Hakim turning over pocket 
on the river of an 
board and his opponent motioning for the dealer to hand Hakim the pot. He's up to around 50,000 now.
Top pair for EPT Prague '09 champ Jan Skampa is plenty as Michael Tureniec tries in vain to throw his big-stacked weight around. Calling Skampa's preflop raise to 700 on the button, Tureniec wasn't shifted on the 
flop and bet when Skampa checked the 
turn. The river came 
and now both players checked, Skampa waiting to be shown Tureniec's (losing) 
before showing his own 
.
Skampa's results are quite impressive - he has a habit of winning tournaments once he makes a final table. He's also had some other big score close calls, including a 4th place finish at EPT Vilamoura the same year he took his title.
Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichenberger was a pretty short stack at the start of the hand, and he was even shorter at the end of it.
The pot comprised exactly 9,050 on the turn, the board reading 
. Lichtenberger checked and behind him in the hijack Leo Fernandez checked as well.
The river was the 
and Lichtenberger checked again. Fernandez tanked for what felt like an hour (possibly an exaggeration) before checking behind, and turning over 
. Lichtenberger mucked his hand, then changed his mind; the obliging dealer returned his hand so that he could show a 
.
Fernandez is at 44,000 now, Lichtenberger at just 10,000.
Rupert Elder, the latest EPT winner, had previously tweeted that he really hadn't been playing very well and gave himself a rating of "C-".
He'd fired out a bet of 900 on a on a flop of 
and was check-called by his opponent in the big blind. Both players checked the turn while the big blind checked the river as well, Elder now fired 2,000 - getting called once again. The Brit showed 
and it was good.
Allen Bari is back up to almost his stack after doubling up with against an unknown gentleman's 
on a 
board. He's at 29,000 now and it's like his painful last hour or so never happened at all.
15 minutes for the players to soak up the glorious sunshine.
Level: 5
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
With the board reading 
and after both players had checked the turn, Ben Wilinofsky had fired out 4,200 on the river against Henri Kasper. The Estonian making a semi-reluctant call but nodded and tapped the table when Wilinofsky turned over .
Vitaly Lunkin has been eliminated, following a preflop confrontation in which having three-bet with he continued with the rest of his stack when the original raiser set him in. It was around 17,000, soon 0,000 after his opponent's held on a 
board.
