EPT Campione: 24 to 8
Welcome back to the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour brought to you from Casino Campione. The plan is very simple on this days: make three tables become one, final table.
Yesterday we started the day with eight former EPT champions in the field but by the end of the day just two remained. Ronny Kaiser has his work cut out if he wants to be a record breaker as he is the the shortest stack coming in to today. David Vamplew is the other player and he has average stacked 747,00, and therefore will have higher aspirations of where his day finished.
The main man coming into today is Jannick Wrang who claimed the lead during the day yesterday, lost it for a while, and then claimed it back by the end of the day. He has a bad draw though with the big stacked and talented duo of Fabrice Soulier and Olivier Busquet sat to his left.
Play is due to get under way very soon so don't go anywhere.

Jose Manuel Nadal and Carlos Mora Bust Right at the Off
Mexico's hopes of having a first EPT champion were dashed within minutes of the start as both their finals representatives were eliminated.
First to to go was Jose Manuel Nadal, whose aces were cracked by fellow Mexican Carlos Mora. The latter had ace-ten and made a straight by the river.
Moments later Mora himself busted after he four-bet jammed ace-queen into the kings Simeon Naydenov.

Kaiser Will Not Be King In Campione
Ronnie Kaiser started the day with one of the shortest stacks of the final 24 players and in desperate need of a double up or two. When the action folded to him in late position he looked down to find 
staring back at him and decided that they were more than enough to get his chips into the middle with. Unfortunately for him Simeon Naydenov was sat there with 
and he made the call.
"No ace on the flop," pleaded Kaiser and the flop was void of an ace, but what the Swiss national forget to ask for was no nine too because the flop came down 
, followed by the 
turn and the 
river and Kaiser was eliminated in 22nd place, leaving David Vamplew as the only former EPT Champion in the field.

Vinci Doubles Up
Pasquale Vinci has doubled up through Ramin Hajiyev, the Italian had moved all for 129,000 from the small blind and received a quick call from his opponent's

board to stay in the game.

Naydenov On a Charge
Simeon Naydenov is a man on a mission today. He's already knocked out three players and is playing a brand of high variance power poker.
Balazs Botond opened to 34,000 and was called on the button by David Vamplew before Naydenov three-bet shoved from the big blind. It forced both players to fold in a "I'm the table captain" type of manoeuvre.

Nagel And Busquet Clash
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
From under the gun Mario Nagel made it 32,000 to play and nobody wanted to tangle with him. That was until the action reached Olivier Busquet in the big blind. The heads-up specialist then three-bet to 79,000 putting the action back onto Nagel. He thought for 20-30 seconds before making the call.
A flop reading 
saw Busquet check and Nagel check behind, prompting the dealer to put the on the turn. Busquet checked again but this time Nagel decided to bet and he made it 123,000 to play and no sooner had he done that Busquet relinquished his hand.
