Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
James Keys' downward spiral of misery continued, and he is now no longer in his seat. Conclusion - busto. We hope that he didn't actually shoot himself, as he looked as though he was threatening.

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We found Vanessa Selbst checking a 
flop. Her opponent (who had rather inconsiderately obscured his ID card with a dinner ticket) bet 1,700 - but Selbst now check-raised him to 5,300. This prompted a dwell-up of simply epic proportions from the dinner ticket gent - it was well over five minutes, and we reckon that anything over three counts as epic on Day 1. Selbst spent the first couple of minutes staring at the flop with studied impassivity; after a while she apparently became bored and relaxed into gazing around the rather lovely belle epoque ballroom that is our tournament area. To her credit, she never once looked as though she was going to call the clock.
Eventually Mr. Dinner Ticket folded 
face up. Selbst pursed her lips and ever so slightly raised an eyebrow. She is up to 100,000.

That was LONG.
It started simply enough, Frederic Marc Herbette and David Whalen limping from UTG and UTG+1 respectively before Victor Ramdin raised to 2,600 from middle position. Fabio Mangano then 3-bet on the button to 6,600 and the blinds and limpers all folded the action back to Ramdin.
The Team PokerStars Pro checked across to Mangano's stack before deciding to just flat call with about 22,000 behind. The flop was 
and Ramdin immediately checked across to Mangano who then tanked for about 5 minutes before checking behind.
Ramdin quickly led for 8,000 on the 
turn and Mangano, in a repeat of the previous street, tanked again for several minutes, finally getting the clock called on him. With about 20 seconds left, Mangano moved all-in and Ramdin called instantly with 
- the Italian needing an ace from space on the river since his holding was 
.
"Ace!" said Mangano desperately but the dealer ignored his pleas and put out the 
. Ramdin is now up to 62,000 while Mangano has been crippled.

Half of the field has returned to the tables with their bellies full of pasta and the other half and ran off to fill theirs up.
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Giuseppi Vicidomini has been eliminated after pushing all in on a 
board with 
but getting called by Walter Ferrero's . The 
turn and 
river were both bricks and Vicidomini put his hands on his head distraught while Ferrero banged the table and fist-pumped in delight.
You can never say the Italians lack passion.

Oliver Bosch had check-raised Stefano Alberto Servalli's 3,250 bet to 8,000 on a flop of 
putting the Italian to the test. Servalli finally had the clock called on him and then announced all in with about 5 seconds left, Bosch shrugged and called.
Bosch: 
Servalli: 
The changed nothing and although Servalli had a brief scare on the river, it was the 
not the 
which had come to eliminate Bosch.
Having watched this hand though, I do have a secret hankering to see someone raise all in or check raise all in on the river with literally a second left on the clock - as a bluff..

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Johnny Lodden is out. We didn't see it, but EPT media coordinator Mad Harper did. In her words:
"Nines. Didn't see the rest of it, but someone else must have had better."
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Alexander Novitskiy has had a tough time of it of late, he fired out 2,500 on the turn of a 
board against Xuan Liu, then checked and snap-folded when Liu bet 5,100 on the 
river.
A couple of hands later and Ted Forrest opened to 1,000 UTG and Novitskiy was one of two callers to see the 
flop. Forrest fired out 1,200 and Novitskiy made the call while the big blind (who had also called preflop) folded. The on the turn was an interesting card and Forrest led for 2,600 and this time Novitskiy snap-folded with a real sigh of frustation
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier has been eliminated after getting all in with 
against 
but the queen spiked and the Frenchman will have to wait until Madrid before making his mark.
