Fifty-one entered and it's down to five in EPT Online 09: $5,200 8-Game [High Roller], set to play down to a winner here today on PokerStars.

These remaining five are in the money, and they've got plenty of credentials to back them coming into this Day 2. There's WSOP mixed-game bracelet winner Jens "Fresh_oO_D" Lakemeier in Seat 1, mixed-game reg Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich, online cash legend "RaúlGonzalez," PokerStars online series GOAT Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov and Christian "Crisper" Pereira, on the short stack and the lone non-European player.

Here's how they'll be arrayed when play begins at 2:05 p.m. EST:

Play resumes at 30,000/60,000 limit hold'em, with Omaha hi-lo then stud rounds then the big-bet to follow. By the time triple draw comes back around, levels will bump up to 12 minutes from the current 10.

There's $100,050 up top and everyone has guaranteed themselves a very strong min-cash of $18,406, more than three-times the buy-in. Stay tuned to PokerNews over the next few hours to see who grabs the six-figure prize.

Action folded to the small blind, where Denis "aDrENalin710" Strebkov raised. "RaulGonzalez" called and {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flopped. Strebkov bet and RaulGonzalez called. The turn was a {7-Hearts} and Strebkov bet again, leaving about 40K behind. That's what he called off when RaulGonzalez raised.

RaulGonzalez: {9-Spades}{2-Spades}
Strebkov: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Strebkov was unpaired and needed to find an ace or queen, but the river was a useless {4-Diamonds}.

Urbanovich Caught Bluffing

35,000/70,000 Razz

Jens "Fresh_oO_D" Lakemeier opened with a {3-} and Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich two-bet it in the next seat with a {4-}. Lakemeier called and they traded off the lead as they took turns catching back on the next few streets until the river.

Lakemeier: {x-}{x-}/{3-}{8-}{q-}{10-}/{x-}
Urbanovich: {x-}{x-}/{4-}{j-}{7-}{7-}/{x-}

On the end, Lakemeier checked and Urbanovich bet. Lakemeier took some time then called, and Urbanovich showed {5-}{2-}{k-} for a jack-low. Lakemeier had {5-}{2-}{8-} for a ten-low.

Pereira Survives

40,000/80,000 Stud

Christian "Crisper" Pereira two-bet last to act with the {8-Diamonds} when "RaulGonzalez" completed in the cutoff with the {a-Spades} and they got all in on fifth when RaulGonzalez picked up a four-flush.

RaulGonzalez: {8-Spades}{j-Spades}/{a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Pereira: {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}/{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

RaulGonzalez bricked with the {7-Diamonds} but made jacks on the {j-Clubs} river. Pereira improved too, though, hitting the {q-Spades} for winning queens up after he bricked sixth as well.

12,500/25,000 PLO

Dzmitry "Colisea" Urbanovich completed the blind and called a pot-sized raise from "RaulGonzalez." Urbanovich checked the {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and RaulGonzalez bet 75,000. Urbanovich potted to 375,000 and RaulGonzalez peeled, bringing a spicy {9-Hearts}. Urbanovich shoved for 668K and RaulGonzalez tanked awhile then called.

RaulGonzalez: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Urbanovich: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Urbanovich had top set and a flush draw and was in good shape against two pair and a straight draw. The {4-Hearts} failed to crack his hand, and he doubled into the chip lead.
