Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagno opened the betting from under the gun with a raise to 4,700. Despite Pagano's tight image Alejandro Sanchez Fernandez, sat in the seat next to him, three-bet to 11,000. The action folded back around to Pagano who stared at his opponent for 20 seconds before letting his hand go.
Nick Bogaert raised to 5,000, in early position, off a stack of around 35 big blinds. Michael Tureniec was in the hijack seat and he three-bet to 12,200 when the action folded around to him and the action folded back around to Bogaert. Bogaert decided to peel one off - out of position - and maybe it wasn't the greatest idea.
Flop: 
Both players checked.
Turn: 
Bogaert checked and Tureniec bet 14,600, a bet that was called by Bogaert.
River: 
Both players checked and Tureniec was forced to show the chip busting 
- showing the table that he had singled out Bogaert - who had steam coming out of his ears as he mucked his hand.
"That's the nice thing about having a big stack," said one of the players on the table.
Axel Sippel may have started with over 90,000 chips but he is now on the sidelines after a clash with Kalle Niemi left him with no chips.
Niemi opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Sippel in the big blind. He announced he was all in for around 32,000 (so he obviously lost some chips in a previous hand) and Niemi called. Niemi turned over 
and Sippel 
. The board ran out 
and Sippel was eliminated.
Team PokerStars Pro Online Mickey Petersen opened to 4,500 from under the gun and Malki Yaron Zeev, to his immediate left, snap-called. Nobody else wanted to play with this duo so it was heads-up to the 
flop.
Petersen continued with a bet of 5,000, a single blue chip, and Zeev instantly called. The turn was the 
and Petersen slowed down and checked. Zeev reached for chips and and has he grasped them Petersen flicked his cards towards the dealer.
Johnny Lodden has a habit of making the last two tables of an EPT or falling just short if the money. Unfortunately the Team PokerStars Pro endured the latter of the two at this event.
He had apparently been involved in a lot of hands today, losing most of them, before he three-bet his last 19,300 all-in. Fellow Norwegian Helge Stjernvang, who had already won a pot off Lodden, made the call after he had opened.
Lodden: 
Stjernvang: 
The board ran 
to make Stjernvang a straight. It hurts more somehow when it comes on the river.
The top two players in the chip counts are both sharing table space on Table 29. We just brought you the news that Melanie Weisner has started well, now we bring you news of a good start for Simon Ravnsbaek as well.
Ravnsbaek raised to 4,200 in early position and Andreas Wiese defended his big blind. The flop was 
and both players checked. The turn was the 
and Wiese led for 5,200, a lead that Ravnsbaek called. The final card was the and both players checked.
Ravnsbaek showed down 
for a pair and Wiese showed 
. We didn't catch the final card but the pot was moved in the direction of Ravnsbaek.
Martin Staszko won over $5 million by coming second at last year's WSOP and you think that would be enough. Not so for the Czech Team PokerStars Pro. He seems to love the competition and this was shown just now as he gave a little fist pump when he doubled up his micro stack to a short stack.
He was heads up to a 
flop and checked to Maksim Semisoshenko on the button who bet-called Staszko's shove with 
. Staszko opened and stayed ahead through the turn and river.
From the cutoff Henrik Sorensen made it 4,300 to play and Grzegorz Cichocki took a short break from stacking the chips he had just won in the hand with Chi Hung Shek, to make the call from the small blind.
The dealer put out the 
and Cichocki tapped the table and checked then got back to meticulously stacking his chips. Sorensen made a continuation bet of 6,100 and Cichocki instantly called. The turn card was the 
and Cichocki check-called again, this time a larger 11,200 bet from Sorensen.
The river was dealt just as Cichocki had rebuilt his towers and he checked again. Sorensen looked like a man resigned to losing this hand but that was not the case because when he checked behind and showed his opponent mucked his hand.
Intrepid reporter MarcC gave you the names of the first four players to bust on Day 3 and here is the detail surrounding Andrey Gulyy's exit.
The action folded around to Gulyy on the button and he moved all-in for 13,300. The small blind folded and Melanie Weisner was still building her stack in the big blind when she looked at both cards and mouthed the words call.
| Weisner |  |
| Gulyy |  |
The board offered no support for Gulyy and he stood up, gave Weisner a good luck kiss and departed.
