Busquet Stops the Slide, Botond Suffers
Olivier Busquet's stack has been heading south since the dinner break. He firmly put a stop to that by taking a large chunk of Balazs Botond's stack.
Busquet opened to 20,000 from mid position and called when Botond three-bet to 40,000 from the button. The flop fell 
and Busquet check-called a 45,000 c-bet. Both players checked the 
turn to see the 
river appear.
Busquet checked again and faced a 76,000 from Botond. He sat and thought for two minutes before he grabbed raising chips and made it 225,000. Botond made a reluctant looking call and was shown 
for a straight. Botond shook his head, flashed the 
and mucked.

Benelli Straightens Out On The River
From the button Andrea Benelli opened to 22,000 and his only customer was Frenchman Fabrice Soulier in the big blind. After calling the raise Soulier put his headphones and sunglasses on and readied himself for action.
The flop came down 
, Soulier checked and Benelli checked behind. The turn brought the 
into play and Soulier now lead into Benelli with a bet of 22,000, a bet that Benelli did not think twice about calling. The river was the 
and when Soulier checked Benelli tapped the table and checked behind.
Soulier revealed the 
but we did not get to see the other card as he mucked when shown 
.

Terry's On His Todd
We were altered to the cry of "Seat Open" and we arrived at the table to see Todd Terry walking away looking quite angry. The last remaining EPT champion in the field, David Vamplew told is that Terry shoved over the top of Mario Nagel's min-open.
Terry held 
and Nagel 
. The board ran out 
and Terry was eliminated.

Jannick Wrang, Benelli Answered
Jannick Wrang was up to 1.325 million then dropped back to a million. He's back up to 1.325 million again after a hand against Andrea Benelli.
He opened to 26,000 and was called in two spots. He then went on to empty the clip with bets of 46,000, 61,000, and 220,000 on the 
board. Benelli took an age to call and when he did, the Dane showed him 
for full house. Benelli mucked.

Federici Runs the Gauntlet
With two players having to sit out because of penalties and UTG folding, the table was basically three-handed and Piero Federici had four-bet all in with 
against David Vamplew but the latter held 
to knock him out. Just on the break though the Scot lost a sizeable pot to Mario Nagel, he called a 78,000 bet on the turn of a 
board but then folded to a 145,000 bet on the 
river.

Kerzhapkin Sent Packing
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Yuri Kerzhapkin has been eliminated from the tournament by Sebastian Veghinas. The former shoved his stack into the middle with 
and was rather unfortunate to see Veghinas wake up with pocket kings.
The board ran out 
and Kerzhapkin was sent to the rail.
Dropping Like Flies

: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Yet another player has been eliminated, this time Marco Della Monica. He three-bet shoved over a raise from Jean-Philippe Rohr with only to be called by the Frenchman's . By the river the board read 
and Monica was sent to pick up his prize money.
