We believe the former EPT Berlin champion Kevin MacPhee has been eliminated. He was seated in Seat 1 on Table 22 but there is now an empty chair and no chips in front of that spot. We will do some digging and try to find out what happened to him.
Liv Boeree will not be pushed around, especially when she has chips invested in the pot, as Antonin Tesseire has just found out.
The latter saw the action fold around to him on the button and he min-raised to 1,600. Boeree was next to act and she first took back her original bet before replacing those chips with four red 1,000 chips. David Vamplew and Marion Nedellec folded their blinds but Tesseire made the call.
The dealer spread out the 
flop and Boeree paused briefly before setting the price to play at 5,100. This was too much for Tesseire to pay and he instantly folded his holding.
Arnaud Mattern, Faraz Jaka, and Vadzim Kursevich have all been eliminated holding ace-king.
Jaka's day to forget continued when he ran ace-king into an opponent's pocket sevens. He was looking for party bracelets in the press room afterwards. A few stiff drinks later to blow off steam.
Mattern three-bet all-in with ace-king only for Claudio Pollin to wake up with pocket jacks behind. He isolated and managed to avoid an ace and a king to bus the Team PokerStars Pro.
EPT Deauville winner Vadzim Kursevich ran ace-king into ace-king and lost out to his opponent's flush.

The lasted EPT champion to fall was Benny Spindler. He moved all-in from early position with 
and was looked up by Mario Picheler. The latter had him dominated with 
and the German failed to find a two-outer to survive.

Kevin Vandersmissen was all in from the button holding 
but he was called by the big blind Jean-Philippe Rohr who held

The 
flop didn't help the Belgian much but the on the turn suddenly gave him a massive draw...which bricked out on the ultimate blank river, the 
. It's over to the €2,000 event for the former Snowfest runner-up.

Oliver Busquet is flying high in the chip counts with a stack of 132,000 chips. We just saw the llatter stages of a hand where he was seated in the cutoff and facing a 2,600 bet from Andreas Vlaghos, who was seated in late position, on a board reading 
. Busquet made the call and the dealer put out the 
on the river.
Vlaghos now checked to his opponent who made it 13,000 to play. Vlaghos sighed, then swallowed hard before quietly saying "call." Busquet turned over 
for a set of threes and Vlaghos showed the bare 
. Busquet climbs to 132,000 and is now a legitimate threat in this tournament.
It's all over for Eugene Katchalov, he lost most of his stack with 
against and then called off his last 6,000 with 
in the big blind against Matthias De Meulder's small blind push with 
. The Belgian flopped trip jacks and that was all she wrote for Katchalov.
It's not all been going De Meulder's way though, he's just called an all in shove on the turn of a 
board with 
only to find Teresio Ciancanelli with 
for a higher set which held on a 
river. However this pot only cost him around 15,000.
