Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Team Pro Johnny Lodden, fresh with a tan from a recent Thailand trip, was involved in two smallish pots.
He opened to 500 from the cut-off and was called by Daniel Onat on the button. Both checked the flop and Lodden's 625 turn bet was called before both checked the river when the board was completed as 
. Onat opened 
and it was good as Lodden mucked.
The next hand Lodden got back on that raising horse with a min raise to 400. The big blind called but check-folded to a 400 bet on a 
flop.

Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Liv Boeree was under the gun and opened with a raise to 500. The player to her immediate left flat called along with Liutauras Armanavicius on the button.
The trio took in 
on the flop and Boeree continued for 1,050. The player to her left was out but Armanavicius stuck around. Fourth street was the 
and Boeree announced a bet of 1,800. Armanavicius called.
The 
finished off the board and Boeree took her time. About twenty seconds passed before she announced her bet.
"Forty-two," said Boeree, tossing out a single blue t5,000 chip.
Armanavicius couldn't fold his hand quick enough which caused the dealer to wipe the board and push the pot to Boeree. She's now sitting on about 22,500 in chips.

Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
The title of this post was what Ramin Hajiyev said to Guillaume Rivet after the latter took the pot control line with a big hand versus Rory Mathews, who said he was happy that he did.
Mathews opened from mid position and Rivet was the only caller to the 
flop where he called an 800 c-bet. The turn dropped as the 
and Mathews bet 1,600. Call. The Scot emptied the clip on the river with a 3,000 bet and Rivet elected to just call with 
for a full house.
Mathews opened 
for trips and probably lost the minimum. That pot put them both around the 34,0000 mark.

: 100/200, 25 ante
Steven Tripp was all in and at risk preflop holding 
, which was dominated by Thanh Thien Le's 
. The flop fell 
, giving both players a set, and leaving Tripp with one out on the turn to win. Tripp could make a flush with running spades, and chop the pot with a running non-spade ten and nine.
The 
on the turn left Tripp with just a single out to make quads however, and the 
bricked off on the river.

Former EPT winners Zimnan Ziyard and Moritz Kranich had nothing to worry about but themselves but things changed as two top pros just sat down at their table. Kevin Vandersmissen and Justin Bonomo were moved from their tables and that made this one a whole lot tougher.

Elisabeth Hille qualified for EPT Berlin online, and is grinding away here on Day 1a.
The "part-time waitress" from Norway famously finished 11th in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, bubbling the unofficial final table when she lost a race against Andras Koroknai.
Hille has registered three cashes since her deep run in the Main Event, including a final table appearance in a small event in Cork, Ireland.
She's off to a slow start, dipping down to around 16,600 chips, so it will be an uphill battle from here for the Norwegian.
