Teddy Sheringham was never the fastest player on the pitch (fastest mind though) when he was still playing so it seems fitting he lost a race to bust EPT London.
Manig Loeser opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Sheringham called from the next seat along with Gert Zumkehr before Pasi Sormunen squeezed to 24,000 from the big blind. Loeser and Zumkehr folded but Sheringham shoved for 83,600. Call.
"How many times can this happen in a tournament?" Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske asked himself after he just lost a massive pot to Full Tilt's Professional Viktor Blom.
Luske was just very, very unlucky and looked more devastated then we've ever seen the jolly Dutchman.
The action started with a raise to 6,000 from middle position and Blom three-bet to 17,600 from small blind. Luske sat in the big blind and quickly four-bet to 42,700. The initial raiser folded his cards, Blom peeked down at his and moved all in. Luske snap-called.

The board ran out and Luske was left behind with just 27,600 chips. Blom sat in silence as the dealer pushed him a huge pot which puts him on roughly twice the average stack.
Just 113 players remain going into the third day of the main event here in the Grosvenor Victoria casino on Edgeware Road. There's £700,000 for first place but 17 players will be going home today with nothing, not even making the min-cash of £8,000 for a 96th place finish.
Mantas Visockis is the chip leader at the moment, being one of only two players over the 500,000 mark but there's still several former EPT champions and Team PokerStars Pros in the event.
Today we have the drama of the bubble which should take place in the first couple of levels. We're not sure just yet as to how many levels we will be playing today, but they're all 90 minutes long from now on.
