Robin - The Boy Wonder
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Mario Nagel is looking very depressed. It'sbecause he's the latest victim of Robin Vlitalo's self-admitted run good.
Just a few hands before, Vlitalo had cracked Koen De Visscher's aces with jacks and in this hand he got into a raising war with the German Nagel.
Vlitalo raised to 16,000 but when Nagel made it 43,000 from the blinds, the Swede responded by four-betting to 78,000. Undeterred, Nagel five-bet to 178,000 and Vlitalo moved all in for 549,000 but Nagel quickly called.
Nagel: 
Vlitalo: 
The board came 
and Vlitalo doubled up to over a million, it's not the first time he's managed to get lucky in a big pot. Early on Day 1 the Swede managed to get 55,000 in preflop with ace-six offsuit against the pocket jacks of Vladmir Geshkenbein and managed to spike there also. This is not to say he's been playing bad, he's chipped up well today but is perhaps less scared of wagering his entire stack than some of the other players.

Busquet Bossing His Table
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Olivier Busquet is a dangerous player. Olivier Busquet armed with a huge stack is a very dangerous player indeed because he will boss those around him if they let him.
Just now Panagiotis Gavriulidis opened to 17,000 from the hijack, Busquet called on the button and Fabrizio Leonardi put in the extra chips from the big blind. The dealer fanned out the 
flop and when Leonardi checked to Gavriulidis the Greek continued to 27,000 only to see Busquet move a tower of blues forward worth 100,000. This raise was enough to fold out Leonardi but Gavriulidis stuck around for almost a minute pondering a call, but he ultimately folded and Busquet added even more chips to his stack.
Busquet is certainly now on course to add an EPT title to his WPT gong.
Wrang Fancies His Turn at the Top
The chip lead has changed hands multiple times today. The latest to have a go at leading is Jannick Wrang.
Fabrice Soulier opened from the cut-off and both Wrang (SB) and Stefan Czischke (BB) called to the 
flop.
Czischke led for 25,000 and that was enough to force out Soulier. Wrang called and then led himself, for 41,000, on the 
turn. Czischke wasted little time in moving all in. The Dane got the count and made the call with for a flush. Czischke opened 
for a smaller flush.
Czischke wasn't dead though as the 
would make him a straight flush. It failed to appear on the 
river though and he busted in 40th place.

Solinas Hit By Fatal Bullets
Carla Solinas, the last woman in the tournament, has been knocked out - she was holding 
but found herself in hot water against Simeon Naydenov's . A nine on the flop but nothing more caused the Italian lady's swansong when the board came 
.
Naydenov has about 630,000 and is looking dangerous.

Linde Makes Himself At Home On His New Table
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Per Linde has just been moved to the seat next to Olivier Busquet after the elimination of Marco Falanga just moments ago and he has wasted no time at all in taking on his new opponents.
The action folded around to Linde in the cutoff and he min-raised to 16,000. His only caller was Juri Pietroboni in the big blind so it was heads-up to the 
flop. Pietroboni checked then called a 16,000 continuation bet from Linde and the dealer put out the on the turn. Now Pietroboni lead into Linde with a bet of 34,000 and Linde called rather quickly.
The river was the 
and Pietroboni went back to checking but when Linde bet 58,000 he instantly folded then went back to playing with his iPhone. Our guess is he was asking Siri what he was hoping to achieve with that particular line of action.
Millions and Millions for Busquet
Last year Olivier Busquet cracked the $1,000,000 profit mark on PokerStars for Heads Up sit and goes, and now he's cracked the million-chip mark at EPT Campione.
He raised to 16,000 from under the gun and the action folded around to Marco Falanga in the small blind who announced a re-raise. He went to raise but dropped a few chips before he placed his bet. It turned out to an under raise and he was forced to min-raise to 24,000 - a lot less than he had originally intended.
Busquet made the call to the 
where he shoved on Falanga when he continued for 36,000. Call.
Busquet tabled the drawing 
and Falanga opened . The board ran out 
to make Busquet's flush.
He's the new chip leader now!

Double Up Or Go Home
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Fabrizio Leonardi has obviously decided during the dinner break that he is going to double up or go home because he has had his stack in the middle four times in the last two orbits. Surely it's only a matter of time before someone makes the call?
Atanas Out
Atanas Gueorguiev is the first casualty after dinner, he was all in with against Jannick Wrang's 
and the board came to banish the Bulgarian.
