In one of the last hands before the break, a player in early position opened and Gaelle Baumann defended her big blind. Baumann check called a bet of 4,500 on 
and both players checked the 
on the turn. The 
on the river made Baumann bet out 5,800 and her opponent called after some thinking. Baumann showed 
and her opponent mucked.

A new chip leader has arrived at the table of Gerald Karlic and it is Gustav Nordh from Sweden. His fellow countryman and 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Martin Jacobson however has just been sent to the rail. Karlic opened to 3,200, Jacobson moved all in for 26,000 and Abdo Naji called from two seats over.
Karlic folded 
and Jacobson was drawing very slim with 
against the 
of the Lebanese. There would be no miracle at all and the Swede left the tournament just before the end of level 12.
Managed to get it in with 0 outs pre flop in the main event. And no, I did not get there.Follow @Martin_Jacobson
Within two consecutive hands, Omar Lakhdari has knocked out three players. In the first hand, Yulius Sepman raised to 3,600 and Lakhdari moved all in from the small blind. Alexander Lukyanov called all in for less out of the big blind and Sepman was in the think tank. The Frenchman joked "maybe two seat open" and was getting somewhat impatient. Ultimately Sepman as shortest stack called off:
Sepman: 
Lakhdari: 
Lukyanov: 
The board ran out 
and Lakhdari scooped the pot. He wasn't done stacking the chips yet when Jack Salter raised to 3,500 and Liv Boeree called. Lakhdari grabbed a lot of red T-1,000 chips and raised but didn't even know how much it was. Salter asked the dealer and it would be 13,000. Lakhdari kept talking and Salter eventually four-bet to 32,200.
Boeree quickly got out of the way and the Frenchman said "let me see," referring to the remaining stack of the Brit. Salter had another 37,200 behind and Lakhdari then grabbed a stack of blue T-5,000 chips with the words "okay, bon appetit" and out his opponent all in.
Salter called all in with 
and ran straight into the of the Frenchman. There was some hope on the 
flop, but the gutshot never arrived with the 
turn and the river completing the board. Boeree said in table chat that she folded pocket jacks.
Tuukka Meklin started things off with a raise to 3,500 from middle position. Magnus Karlsson called from his immediate left as did Victor Shuchleib and Robert Zipf from the hijack and small blind.
The flop came down 
and Zipf checked. Meklin threw out a continuation bet of 6,500 which only interested Shuchleib as the other two folded their hands.
Both players then checked the 
turn and 
river before Meklin tabled his 
. The hand was good as Shuchleib mucked his hand.
Dylan Hortin walked past by us on the way back into the tournament area and told us about his elimination. In a battle of short stacks, he four-bet shoved for 28,000 with pocket jacks and ran straight into pocket aces.
Daphne van Dijk is no more, her tournament is over after a day of hard work. The Dutch online qualifier started out with 51,700 today but never got anything going really.
Van Dijk lost a pot with kings on an ace-high board early on. She got away from it, she told us, but it still cost her some chips.
Right before the last break she lost another big pot. Someone in front of her opened and with 
she three bet. Her opponent called and lead into her on 
. Van Dijk called, and both checked the on the turn. The river was a 
and her opponent bet out chips worth half Van Dijk's stack. With the break well underway she eventually decided to fold.
Van Dijk was down to nine big blinds when she found 
in the hijack. She shoved all in and her neighbor in the cutoff made the call. Van Dijk got the bad news soon enough, her opponent had aces and that hand wouldn't get cracked.
Van Dijk played her second EPT Main Event here in Prague, let's see where the joyful qualifier pops up next.
David Lappin is out after four-bet shoving and running into .
No help from the deck and Lappin was eliminated.
Well, Russia basically. And some Germans. Oh yeah, and there's a bunch of Brits and French here. See for yourself:
