Chuck Clark, one of 14 British poker players looking to add a European Poker Tour title to their résumé has started the day well. He has just tweeted, "First hand of the day and had to lay down 
on 
board. Then won a decent pot off Martin Jacobsen & a few squeezes 43k (46k ave)"
Earlier we mentioned that Table 12, our offiicial Table of Doom had become less scary after Ville Wahlbeck's elimination but it appears that we spoke too soon as he seat has been filled by no other than David Sonelin.
He has instantly made his presence felt after entering a preflop raising war with Israel's Yotam Bar-Yosef. A late position raise to 1,225 from Sonelin was three-bet to 3,550 by Bar-Yosef in the big blind. Sonelin then made it 7,225 to play only to see Bar-Yosef click it back and raise to 12,125. Sonelin removed the headphone from his left ear and announced he was all in. Bar-Yosef did not want to play for stacks and flicked his cards towards the deal,

and both players checked. The dealer gave us the 
turn and a 4,600 Perego bet forced the fold from Sarwer.
and David Sonelin won the pot on the turn when he bet 2,325 at the sight of the 
and it was enough to take down the pot. Table 22 broke immediately after.
Baroni Cracks the Aces of Kolosov
Anatoly Gurtovoy opened up the action with a raise of 1,400 from middle position. The day 1a chip leader Maksim Kolosov was seated a few places to his left and he made it 3,100 to play. A few folds later and Irene Baroni was seated in the small blind looking as awesome as ever with her mixture of Hello Kitty cans, orange rimmed spectacles and school girl pig-tails. Baroni reached for a stack of red 1k chips and plunged them over the line. The four-bet was 7,300 in total and Gurtovoy realised this was a dance made for two and folded his hand. Kolosov asked Baroni for a count and she just waved her hand over her stack as if to say "can't you count?". Kolosov made the call and we headed to a flop with over 15,000 in the middle.
Flop: 
Baroni's right hand was shaking a little as she made a bet of 8,100, Kolosov announced he was all-in and Baroni called like a flash of lightning and when the cards were turned over Kolosov was in deep trouble.

Kolosov had to hand an additional 30,000 to Baroni.

Kayvan Payman has just paid off Vladimir Todorov over on Table 4.
Joining the action on a 
flop, Payman bet 2,100 from middle position and Todorov, in the cuttoff, raised to 5,100. Payman sat completely still, his eyes fixated on his Russian opponent for close to a minute before he made the call. The dealer burned a card and brought the 
into play on the turn. Neither player opted to bet, instead they tapped the table and checked.
The river was the and Payman paused for 20 seconds before betting 8,700. Todorov double checked his cards and quickly called.

Martin Jacobson has just taken a substantial hit over on Table 3 after a clash with Pierre-Olivier Jandaud.
Jacobson opened with a raise from early position to 1,300 and after Tim Ludwig had folded, Jandaud made the call. The rest of the players at the table folded and it was heads up to the 
flop. Jacobson sat motionless for 30 seconds before betting 1,300, a bet that Jandaud called relatively quickly.
The dealer put the 
out on the turn and Jacobson spent another 30 seconds thinking before tapping the table and checking. Jandaud picked up 2,800 worth of chips and placed then in a neat tower in the centre of the table. After staring at his opponent for 15 seconds of so, Jacobson asked Jandaud how many chips he had and the Frenchman simply moved his arms so Jacobson could count for himself. Shortly afterwards the EPT online Qualifier of the Year check-raised to 8,300. Jandaud made the call and it was off the the river.
The river was the 
and Jacobson went into his trademark pose for 30 seconds before betting 14,300. Jandaud instantly called and turned over 
, which beat Jacobson as he quickly mucked.
Jacobson is not in any immediate danger but he has slipped to 47,400 chips.
Romanian, Anton Ionel has had an amazing 2011 raking in $1,827,850 in tournament winnings. EPT Tallinn Day 2 is going well for him as well as he's just doubled-up to more to 75,000.
He raise-called a three-bet from Georgios Kapalas to see a 
flop. He then went on to check-raise Kapalas' 5,500 c-bet up to 12,300. The Greek thought for a minute before setting Ionel all-in for 34,250 - who snap called.
Kapalas: 
Ionel: 
The board ran out 
and Ionel leapt in delight.
Spain's Jorge Borau started today with a stack of 21,375 but he has just doubled up on the very first hand he played, thanks to being dealt pocket rockets.
Jens Kläning opened the betting with a raise to 1,300 from middle position and when the action folded to Borau in the cutoff he wasted very little time in making it 3,500 to play. Everyone folded back around to Kläning who asked how many chips his opponent had and when he was told "around 20" he moved all in. Borau snap-called and the cards were turned onto their backs.
Kläning:
Borau: 
The flop gave Kläning a glimmer of hope as he picked up a gutshot straight and the on the river increased his chances of winning from tiny to just extremely slim! The 
on the river was not what he needed and Borau doubles up to close to 50,000 chips.
David Sonelin started the day with 52,000 chips but as got off to the worst possible start. He raised to 1,350 from middle position and Pokerstars Qualifier Guido Meacci three-bet to his direct left making it 3,100 to play. Everyone folded around to the young Swede and he made the call.
Flop:
Sonelin checked to his opponent Meacci who bet 2,200. Action back to Sonelin and he check-raised to 6,200 and after some consideration Meacci called.
Turn:
Sonelin maintained his aggression with a lead of 9,750. Meacci went into the tank, never once setting eyes upon Sonelin, and when he had thought enough he pumped the pot up to 25,000 and Sonelin mucked his hand.
