Martin Jacobson, veteran of four EPT final tables, three of them this season, is down to 16,150 right now. He had raised preflop from the hijack and got a call from the gentleman on the button before betting out 1,000 on the 
flop. His opponent raised ti 3,000 and Jacobson called, but check-folded to a 5,000 bet from his gentleman opponent on the 
turn.
Level: 5
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
We are now in the middle of Day 1b's second15 minute break. Back for two levels, then dinner break, then three levels, then sleep, then Day 2.
David Williams has been knocked out after getting his chips in with 
on a 
board, but his opponent had been holding which held on the 
turn and 
river.
Florian Langmann just attempted to get involved in a raising war against PokerStars Team Pro Salvatore Bonavena. The Italian had made a 3-bet to 2,525 in the small blind but Langmann made it 6,500 - utilising the old 4-bet.
Bonavena, a former EPT champion, was in no mood to give up and made it 11,125. Two minutes of staring vacantly forward by the German ended when he sighed deeply and folded his cards.
Vanessa Peng has become the latest casualty of this Day 1b massacre. We're not sure what happened but we are certain that she is no longer in the running.
A very tenacious preflop threesome just now refused to be budged despite the multiple raises – Benny Spindler’s 2,100 picked up Simon Boss before button Martin Jacobson raised to 4,600. Spindler then made it 7,100, called by both players in position.
On the 
flop, Spindler moved all-in for his remaining 17,900, called by Boss while Jacobson folded.

The over overpair stayed ahead on the 
turn and river doubling up the High Roller runner-up.
Chad Brown is down to 17,000 after seeing a 
flop with 5,100 already in the pot. The gentleman in the small blind bet out 3,000 and Brown min-raised to 6,000. But a moment later and the small blind had shoved for around 14,300 and Brown folded with a sigh.
The internet, and indeed the power, just went out in the press room for half an hour. We'll set about feeding in the events of the past 30 minutes now.
Timothy Finne has doubled up winning the big slick vs. pocket queens preflop race (he shoved for 13,775 pre over a 6,500 bet which was never going anywhere with 
). The king came right away on the flop and held, getting him back to starting stack level.
Other stacks in a bit of Level 4 trouble:
Roberto Romanello – 10,000
Kristijonas Andrulis – 11,200
Ben Vinson – 13,000
These aggressive players must be used to a bit of an early rollercoaster, but the track had better bend back upwards soon.
