The cards are in the air and the players will battle eight-handed until only 40 remain.

Can Sander Lylloff turn his chip lead into a win that would make him the EPT's first double champion?

How will Hevad Khan cope with Ram Vaswani to his left?

Will Surinder Sunar come back from his low of 1500 chips and add an EPT to his WPT title?

Check back here regularly to find out the answers.

The rest of the photos from yesterday have been uploaded into the gallery.

Antonius Loses Big Pot

The action was picked up on the turn, Acar Mazlum had moved all in, first to speak in a heads up pot with the Finn. His bet was for 10,275 and there was already nearly 20,000 in the pot.

The board read {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Patrik took a long time to make a decision, counting his stack repeatedly. He would be left with 10,100 if he made the call, which he duly did, only to be shown {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the flush and he mucked his hand.

A Flurry of Eliminations Sees 20 Players Gone Already!

With a little over 50 minutes played, we are already down to 133 players. The short stacks are now taking chances as the blinds have increased and we are seeing races happen every few hands.

Peter Gould just won one with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} versus Adrian Koy's {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}, the board coming {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} to knock out Koy.

Anton Alleman's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} was good against fellow Swiss player Armin Stocker's {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a double-up to 26,000.

Vindaloo Good For Thew!

Julian Thew went for a pre-tournament curry with Matt Tyler before play started today. When I asked how he got up to 61,000 chips, "curry power" was the answer. He has been taking a lot of small-to-medium pots to double his stack and give himself a shot of following his recent GUKPT win with an EPT one.

Unfortunately, it has not worked so well for Matt as he has dropped to 4,900.
