Alessandro Longobardi, taking the old wise children's programme's advice to Paint the Whole World With a Rainbow, just doubled through courtesy of a pretty unlucky Jonas Molander. Jonas raised to 20k preflop, and Longobardi pushed all in. Call. Simple as that.
Molander:
Longobardi:
Flop:
smallheart smallheart giving some new thought-I-might-not-need-those outs for Jonas
Turn and river: bricks.
When the river was out and there was no danger of the Italian hitting the rail right there, he went a bit mental, leaping up, hi-fiving his two railers who combined sound and take up the space of ten normal ones, and clearly delighted to have escaped the jaws of defeat. You can tell what Jonas thought of that from his expression (the guy in the black shirt with long hair on the left).

Ooops Jen, I think you
'd that post a bit!
Anyway, on with the poker.
Samuel Chartier started the day as a short stack but battled patiently for a spot, which he found, getting it in preflop with
versus the As
of tablemate Martin Nielsen.
The flop fell
, Chartier's Kings holding and enabling him to double through to 170k or so whilst Nielsen is put on the backfoot, knocked down to sub 100k...
The two combatants are seen in action here, Chartier on the left, Nielsen on the right...

Davidi Kitai retains the chip lead at this point with roughly 550,000.
Here is a shot of Kitai's table...
And one of those hot on the Belgium's heels is German Sebastian Ruthemberg.
Here is his table...

Big Action on Last Hand before Break!
Knocked to hovering around 100k, Jonas Molander has been moving all in preflop here and there, like a sort of terrier nipping at the heels of his tablemates, but able to do some serious damage to at least three of them should they fight back and lose...
Anyway, just as the rail (which is now wedged between some metal barriers and some heavy empty tables, and looks like it may result in a fatality before the end of the day, such is the press of random people squeezing past the big sign that says PRESS ONLY - SOLA PRENSA) reached its height to date, Jonas moved in one more time, and this time Sebastian Ruthenberg took him on. There was a pause while small blind Alesandro Longobardi kneeled up on his chair and did some melodramatic staring at both players, but they ended up heads up in the closing seconds.
Here's what I saw:
Ruthenberg:
Molander:
?
Flop:
Jonas looks resigned, ready to get his virtual coat.
Turn:
His mate Ramzi comes over to watch
River:
Ramzi gives him that knuckles-up thing, which is odd as it looks like that was the last gasp for him... but no, the pot is getting shipped to Molle..
He actually held
which rivered a straight with help from only four board cards! A large bit of luck back for him, and a double through from Sebastian.

Yes indeed, just going to get a pic for you, and a chip count, if we haven't yet heard the Official Counts from the break...

On EPT live French, Elky said that Stephen Chidwick's legend says that this summer, he won 100 Packages for the WSOP...
Where is the truth ?

Well I was aiming for the best shot I could get of Fintan Gavin, but it just so happens that the big hand I saw involved his neighbour Randal Flowers...
Ramzi Jelassi, finding himself the short stack after a bad couple of levels, took one of his spots to move in for 75k preflop with
- unfortunately he found Flowers with
who was happy to get it heads up and in the middle.
Flop:
Turn:
River:
And quite a number of Swedes and others on the rail celebrated as their guy hit one of his two live ones at the last minute to stay alive, and reverse the position of short and almost-OK with Mark Flowers.
Here's Ramzi, just in front of Michael Keiner before it all went wrong. Earlier one of his supportive supporters went to get him a drink, offering first "Vodkaredbull?" "No." "White Russian." "No." Very restrained, going for just the caffeine. A long day potentially ahead of him

Yep, he's not recognised by any live players pretty much, but Stevie444 will be known online. Interesting specialisation, WSOP satellites - apparently sold all but one...

At this crucial juncture of the tournament, it's a horrible time to be running bad, but that is exactly what is happening to Sebastian Ruthemberg at the moment.
After having his Aces cracked by A-8 for a 200k+ pot, he now called a shortstacked push from Salvatore Pengue with A-8 in the big blind.
It proved to be a good call, as Salvatore could only table K-J.
It hasn't been the young German's day so far and this continued as the Italian spiked a King on a
board to leave the once dominant chip monster Ruthemberg now very short and looking for a required double through sooner rather than later...
His prone position, head bowed, speaks volumes about how his day has gone so far...

It's all gone bananas - a player out every five minutes in the latter half of this level meaning we are just 18 left here at the EPT Barcelona...
Michael Keiner busted first (sorry no details) followed by Ramzi Jelassi, pictured wishing Jonas Molander luck (probably) and heading to cash in his €24,700. "I hope I make at least €20k, he said earlier, so I can go straight on and play the next one." I think a flight to London might be being booked as I type. Another close call, but the cigar still eludes him.
Tougher still that this time he got it in ahead
with Q-Q vs. A-T. No good.

Here's your current Chip Leader, Team Winamax's
Davidi
Kitai
. He made two hold'em final tables at this year's WSOP, winning one of them, and is looking to best his 11th place finish in the Barca EPT last year.
Only just manages to stack chips better than Jungle
Same number of bracelets too...
