It all started when Sebastian Trisch opened in the hijack seat. The action folded to Aku Joentausta, who three-bet to 3,000 from the big blind, and Trisch responded with a four-bet to 6,600.
Joentausta wasn't going anywhere, and he cut out chips, five-betting to 13,800. Not to be outdone, Trisch six-bet to 22,475, and Joentausta ended it all by seven-bet shoving for effectively 75,000.
Trisch snap folded, leaving himself with around 52,000 chips. Joentausta now has 147,000.

Whilst Michael Keiner was being ousted from the tournament by Barny Boatman a slight shocked Jeff Sarwer stopped and told PokerNews of another nasty EPT exit.
He had pocket eights on a board and called a bet before his opponent shoved 2.5 times the pot on a blank river. Sarwer called and was shown pocket nines. Ouch.
Back to the Team Pro Keiner who moved all in on a flop holding . Boatman called him with and the board ran out .
Yury Gulyy opened to 1,200 in early position, Kyosti Isberg called in middle position, Ismail Erkenov three-bet to 2,500 in the cutoff, and Kaspars Kazaks cold-called in the small blind. Gulyy folded to the three-bet, and Isberg called.

Ronny Voth and Nandor Solyom took a flop together that brought forth onto the felt. Voth checked and Solyom fired out 900. Voth stayed in to see the hit the turn where he checked once more.
Solyom fired 2,625 and Voth wasted little time making it 6,900 to go. Solyom heaved a sigh and released his cards.

The board read when there were still four players willing to invest chips. We just caught the end of it as Seiver made the call from the button.
On the river the hit and the small blind checked. The big blind bet 6,200 and Norbert Hoiting raised to 14,150 from the cutoff. Seiver counted down his chips and called after which the two other players folded. Hoiting showed and chopped against Seiver's .
