Sorry everyone, it seems the live update actually just got deleted somehow by mistake. So if your posts have been deleted I can really only apologise. So we're just going to reprint everything from the 'At A Glance' thread and anything we can salvage.

Today our 32 remaining competitors will play down to a final 8, for the 3pm final on Friday. The relatively early finishes allow us to go out and sample some of Prague's restaurants, last night, it was Maria and myself, Marc from Gutshot, Benjo, Neil the Stars photographer, Mad Harper, Owen and Arthur from Pokerlistings and Micky from Pokernews who found ourselves in this steakhouse called the 'Crazy Cow'. Mad was telling us about how she first got involved in the EPT during it's very first tournament held in Barcelona what must have been 3 or 4 years ago. She worked on websites and ended up giving out t-shirts and hats (!) to each exiteer, and still remembers how it was literally Rolf Slotboom from Pokerpages who covered the then €1,000 event with it's 200 something runners, it's come a long way to this, quintuple the buy-in and over double the runners, with around fifty or sixty press people...

I think if you want a note on how well-done everything tends to be done on the EPT, then seeing how much fun Arthur has had, having never done one before, and just been on the WPT/WSOP events in the States. Seriously, the guy seems to enjoy himself and smile more than Age Spets. Cheesy

Anyway here are the last 32 players:

Tommy   Pavlicek   203000   1   1
Steven   Vollers   155500   1   2
Arnaud   Mattern   220500   1   3
Mike   McDonald   187000   1   4
Christer   Johansson   157500   1   5
Cyril   Bensoussan   59500   1   6
Mikael   Norinder   343500   1   7
Luis   Sevilla   307500   1   8
Dagomir   Palovic   357000   2   1
Anthony   Phillips   137500   2   2
Jose Luis   Navarro   316000   2   3
Thomas   Brolin   90000   2   4
Luigi   Rizzi   146500   2   5
Iliodoros   Kamatakis   130500   2   6

Juha Lattamus raises up to about 20k, Nick Goodall pushes all-in, Nedzib Suman pushes all-in behind him. Lattamus folds

Nick:



Nedzib:



Board:



Nick Goodall out in 32nd place.

Here's his assassin.

Another exit super sharp, this time Sebastian Zink knocked out Adrian Schaap by hitting two pair on the flop with 8 9.  We didn't see Adrian's hand but Zink now up to around 450,000.


Mikael Nordin has also been eliminated.

28 left!

Huuuuugeee pot!!!



NO! Bigger than that



two hearts board, Mikael Norinder bets 55k on the river against Luis Sevilla. Sevilla dwells for an age and Norinder calls for a clock, but as soon as the clock is called, Sevilla moves all-in, Mikael asks, "Do you have Aces? Ok, I call."

Luis Sevilla turns a shade of grey as he flips for a complete bluff whilst Mikael shouts with joy as he triumphantly turns over to win a pot of around 600k. Arnaud Mattern sighs and tells me, "Well, at least I got my share of his chips yesterday."

The new chip leader, Mikael Norinder.

The last surviving Czech player Frantisek Striz has been knocked OUT in mysterious circumstances.  Only mysterious because I missed his exit!!

--------------------------


Quote of the day so far goes to Mikael Norinder who on a flop of

 two spades  

asks Tommy Pavliceck where he is from and when he gets the reply "Canada" Norinder says "Well get your plane back there, I am all in!"  To which Pavliceck insta calls with    for two pair.  "Shit" says Norinder who shows only    LOL.

Tommy Pavliceck doubles to about 250,000 and Narinder is only smarted & dented only.

Arnaud Mattern doubled up short-stacked fellow countryman Cyril Bensoussan with A-Q vs A-8, 8 on the turn. "It's ok, we keep it in the family," says Benjo.

Mikkel Madsen is OUT, to Nedzib Suman. vs , Suman rivering the vital Jack.

Markus Golser has busted Oskar Silow with Jacks against Ace Jack.

Tony Phillips, the last remaining Brit is OUT. He lost a big pot with A-Q to Iliodoros Kamatakis A-K then Kamatakis finished him off with Queens against Nines, hitting Quads and shouting loudly.

Cyril Benssousan has doubled up again, this time through Tommy Pavlicek with against after an all rag board.

Kristian Kjondal has doubled up. Jose Navarro had raised and Kjondal called from the big blind before leading out for 20k on the board, Navarro asked for a count before raising to around 80k. As he did so, I couldn't help but catch a glimpse of Kjondal's cards, which is something that I usually never do. Kjondal was sitting there with pocket Queens, which he was rechecking, so it was a little amusing watching the Norwegian sitting there quietly whilst waiting for Navarro to make the raise knowing that all the chips would shortly be in the middle. As expected, Kjondal moved in, Navarro made the call with but failed to hit and Kjondal is now up to almost 400k.



Steven Voellers is OUT. No details I'm afraid, just the sight of him walking to the cash desk.

Ok, really sorry about all this, I'm trying to get the original thread back whilst we're on the break, hopefully it'll come back.

Some bad news now, especially if you're Canadian. First Marc Karam (below) is close to the felt after calling Markus Golser big overbet all-in on a two hearts board, with three diamonds but failed to improve versus Golser's with the turn and river coming and .



Next, and this hand is just pukeifing, it's just so sick and horrid and stunning all at the same time.

The board is reading:



Tommy Pavlicek is all-in, as is Juha Lauttamas and Mikael Norinder has called both.

Pavlicek:



Mikael Norinder:



Juha Lauttamus:

!!!

The river is the , Lauttamus has Pavlicek covered and knocks him out and also doubles through Norinder at the same time. Pavlicek is absolutely devastated, Mike McDonald tells him there was nothing he could do.

Here's Pavlicek just before his exit, it's impossible not feel for him.

After the initial onslaught of exits, we slowed down to a crawl as is the case with this many players left.  Saying that though we have lost ex Leeds & Sweden International footballer Thomas Brolin.  Down to only about 60,000 he pushed preflop with AK ran into Greek (former blackjack pro) online player Iliodoros Kamatakis also going all in for a lot more.  He had protection though because the table left these two at it.  Ilio's (meaning SUN) turned over JJ and then proceeded to ask for another Jack.  All he has to is ask because a third Jack landed and Thomas Brolin is booted OUT in 23rd.

Brolin



Kamatakis

Go Arnaud!

Straight after the 15 min break, Luigi Rizzi with only 100k made the push with A6 and was called by Dagomir Pavlovic with K10.  The flop was

A J  5  but the Q turn gave Pavlovic the straight and game over for Italian Rizzi.

my thoughts exactly.  You all do such a great job running around for us, taking wonderful pics. and getting chip counts, and relaying the ACTUAL, CORRECT hands (unlike pokernews and cardplayer)-  no complaints here.

Thanks again.
