Manfred Hammer was a finalist in Baden, prone to making 40BB open shoves with any pair or two high cards.

And right before we restart the action (18 players remain), I snapped young Chris Rossiter on his way out having run his QQ into That Aces Hand of Dan Carter.  He seems to be in good spirits regardless.

Remind me what his middle name was please.

Some more chip counts as we prepare to kick off once more following the short break.

Johannes Strassmann 399,000
Raul "The Bull" Paez (who ran deep at last years Plymouth GUKPT) 64,000
Thibaut Durand 117,000


After the frantic opening to today's events, the press room is abuzz with banter, stories and snippets of news. Electricity is crackling through the Hohensyburg as anticipation grows to see who will be the lucky players who will make it through to the final table.

First televised hand he shoves after one limper... and takes the pot.

Sadly the perma-sunglassed friend of Tikay, Peyman Mohammadzadeh, has just been eliminated in 18th spot.

Well played sir...

[Dewi_cool]

he could do with a haircut though

[Numpty Dumpty]

This is crazy.. go Dan!

[JungleCat03]

There's a raise from Rinaldi, followed by a big re-raise from Alexander Milanov, met by a reriase allin from  Aniol Alcaraz!

Rinaldi jumps out of the way, Milanov is committed and calls and the drama grows and grows....up till the point where both players flip their cards to reveal A-K and A-K...

...a random flop of non-flushing cards, means the pot is split between the two players...

[Numpty Dumpty]

16 left. table re-draw and break

There is a comical moment during the commentary where Rory asks John Duthie how he reacts to being asked for a chip count where all his chips are on the line.

"Well.....it all depends" replies John.

"I might say something like "Can't you count" or "Is there something wrong with your eyes..."

Classic comedy from the EPT Supremo...


Another player has just been eliminated, meaning they are re-drawing the tables...

Who will appear on the televised table is anyone's guess, but it's unlikely to be a quiet, civilised affair given the way events are unfolding today.

Good luck Dan Carter!
