The play thusfar has been superaggressive as it has been all tournament so it was no surprise when Huseyin Yilmaz just went to war with Max Pescatori with K-Q versus pocket eights.
A Queen on the flop looked to have sealed Max's fate and the Pirate was just about to walk the plank when he spiked an eight on the river, leaving a frustrated Yilmaz rubbing his hands together angrily whilst an apologetic and sympathetic looking bearded Italian Pirate collected his booty.
Max up to 300k now. Yilmaz down to dust...

He may have been knocked out much earlier in the tournament, but that hasn't stopped Humberto Brenes swanning around like he owns the joint, jumping in with advice whenever there's a table disagreement and passing information to the watching rail to the amazement of the watching poker organisers.
He's only one step away from opening his arms and doing his famous shark eating motion. I only hope we have the camera trained on him when that happens!
HUMBERRRRTOOOOOOOOO!

Eric Liu is also one of the men looking like he has the game to take down this EPT.
He was just seen betting 230k into a 260k pot on the river of a
board and Dane Peter Eastgate, November Nine member, was forced into a very tough decision for his tournament life.
Eventually he folded to leave the aggressive Liu, who also had a deep run in the Monte Carlo EPT, to take the pot, moving up to 684k...

Swede Jonas Molander, who followed up a deep run in the Barcelona EPT with another good run here has busted and we are sorry to report the final lady left in the competition, pretty French actress, Alexia Portal has departed as well...
Chris has more information...

Huseyin Yilmaz is out though not before a double up with
against Jonas Molander's
....
(A better card in the deck can't be found surely that isn't a King or Six?)
.
It wasn't enough though, and Yilmaz was out soon after.
Jonas Molander followed him shortly, when his A-5 was defeated by Max Pescatori's A-6 on a 7-4-J-3-J board.
Last lady standing, Alexia Portal is also out, moving all-in over the top of Peter Busch's raise with pocket sevens against his A-Q but the board came
meaning she left to much applause.

eric lui just doubled up a short stack on feature table with Lui raising up in position with
and being reraised all in for little more with
with the magic
on river doubling 1 of the short stacks on river
Swede Michael Tureniec was the player to double up which delighted Pokerstars Swedish blogger Lina.

The whirlwind play continues!
It really has been a firestorm out there in the playing arena with players not giving each other an inch, engaging in combat almost every hand!
The latest exciting showdown was caused when Eric Liu raised it up, only for Swede Michael Tureniec to decide enough was enough, re-raising him all-in, without much fold equity given his shortstack, with K-Q.
Liu was forced to call with A-5, no doubt delighted to be ahead and it looked like another elimination was on the cards.
The flop fell
and Tureniec was about to leave when the
spiked on the river, causing a broad smile to understandably break out across his face. The Swede up to 160k and the first minor setback for Eric on a day where everything else has pretty much gone his way...

Also out is Brian Green, another victim of the rampaging Pescatori.
The Pirate called Brian's shove with A-6 with pocket Jacks and with no sign of a bullet anywhere on the flop, Max had taken yet another scalp to leave us 18 handed in record time!
I don't know what the players had for breakfast but they're playing faster than a cross between Speedy Gonzalez and Floppy when he sees an unattended hamburger...
Arriba, arriba!

November ME finalist Peter Eastgate is out, it looked like Michael Martin had button-raised with queens and Eastgate had repushed with K-6 and was unable to spike the vital king on the
board. On the plus side, he gets a bustout interview with Kara Scott, like Jonas Molander here.

eric lui raises with
with Swede Michael Tureniec moving all in over the top for 120k and lui calling
board takes the swede to 336,000 in chips
Thanks!
Yes indeed. Liu looked a bit frustrated after this hand, having had the Swede in twice, once ahead and once in a flip he lost them both and now looks like he has less than 500k, although Floppy insists he has over 500k.
His argument, consisting of "look at his stack! He has lots of the yellows!", is far from convincing though...

Meanwhile on my last epic trip from the media room to the poker room, I spotted a very lost-looking Barry Greenstein who had been commentating but couldn't seemingly find his way back into the real world. Eventually with much needed guidance we got Barry back to the casino, who knows he might have been stuck there for days otherwise...

Double up for Joe 'Big Egypt' Elpayaa getting in with
against Canadian Philippe D'Auteuil's
- The lowly deuce enough to double up the former PCA finalist to around 200k.

Just as a quick aside, I feel obliged to fill you in on the apparel my esteemed colleague Chris "NoFlopsHomer" Hall is attired in today...
To cut a long story short, he became involved in a bet with another blogger Owen Laukkanen, as to who could purchase the most garish hoody. So far Chris seems to be well in the lead, and possibly out of sight, with this splendid effort.
Already the hoody, which is covered with a pattern of jewels, has been attracting all kinds of attention. Only a few moments ago Chris could be heard giggling and saying "Stop it" as one of the male French press caressed it delicately.
Here it is. ENJOY!

Michael Tureniec has proved a thorn in the side of Eric Liu today, taking plenty of chips off him and he just took some more...Eric raising it up to 22k, only to find the Swede raising him another 55k.
Liu looked at him with a wry smile, but couldn't find a call so laid it down, enabling Tureniec to continue the pwnage...
