There was a little commotion over at the far end of the room so we did what anyone would do and we headed right on over. When we got their we saw Koen De Visscher all-in at at risk with 
and looking in bad shape against the 
of Adrian Veghinas.
De Visscher sat watching the board as the cards fell 
......
! The river saved De Visscher and he now has circa 110,000 chips
Chris Moorman's seat was empty. We know a party has just kicked off on the on a boat on the lake. We know Moorman likes a party. We know Moorman doesn't like to hang around with a 20 big blind stack. These could all be separate parts of a maths equation where the answers always come out the same: Moorman made a move and busted to go to said party.
Martin finger raised to 5,000 and Morrman three-bet shoved for 55,000 with queen-five suited. Finger made the call with ace-jack, busted the Brit, and leant him a pair of dancing shoes.

The level has come to an end and the players have been sent on their final 15-minute break of the day. When they return they will play one more 75-minute level before heading off to the EPT Campione party!
Last week Olivier Busquet spent the best part of three days grinding a short stack and did admirably well, finishing in the money. Here he's now one of the big stacks, Davor Lanini had made it 5,000 preflop with two callers behind him.
Busquet raised to 25,000 from the small blind and Lanini shoved, the two callers folded and Busquet put his tournament life on the line.
Lanini: 
Busquet: 
The board came 
and Busquet is now one of the big stacks.

"An easy double for you," said Muhamet Perati after he raise-called Heinz Kamutzki's small blind three-bet shove.
The shove was only for 15,000 after a 4,200 open.
Kamutzki: 
Perati: 
The board ran 
and that settled that.
A couple of players folded to Grigorij Orlov and the Latvian opened the betting with a raise to 5,000. Todd Terry and Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier folded but Patrik Antonius made the call, meaning it was heads up to the 
flop. Orlov re-checked his cards before betting 16,100, a slightly larger than expected continuation bet but that did not put Antonous off one bit and he moved all in. Orlov called and the cards were flipped over.
Antonius:
Orlov: 
The turn was the followed by the 
river and when the stacks were counted Antonius was left with just 5,100 chips.
Antonius' micro stack went into the middle on the very next hand. Todd Terry opened in early position, ElkY three-bet to 12,200 and Antonius put his stack into the middle. Terry folded and the cards were shown.
Antonius:
ElkY:
By the river the board read 
and Antonius' stack swelled to 20,000.
Amazingly, these went into the middle just one hand later. Terry raised, Antonius shoved with what turned out to be and terry auto-called with 
. Terry took the lead on the 
flop and stayed in front as the turn and river were the 
and 
respectively.
