Konstantin Puchkov takes the lead.

Konstantin Putchkov needed two hands to take the lead. First he clashed with Lizano who was the open raiser and made 135,000 to go from the hijck. Action folded to Konstantin and he made a three bet to 290,000 from the small blind. Flop was T:s 7:h Q:c and both players checked. When 8:d hit the turn, Puchkov fired very fast for 350,000 and Lizano went away immediately.

Shander de Vries was quite quiet from the beginning and he decided to play something. He raised from the under the gun position to 125,000 and action folded around to Konstantin who made a call. We saw 3:c 4:c 4:d on flop and Putchkov check – called 125,000 bet from original aggressor. Turn was the 4:s and again Konstantin check – called bet from de Vries but this time it was 225,000. On the river 5:h came and both players checked. Shander showed pocket sixes but that wasn't enough against pocket Jack holding by Russian amateur.

Giuseppe Pantaleo made a huge mistake.

He opened from the button for 165,000 and found a call from Lizano. On flop 2:c Q:s 6:c both players checked and then we saw Q:c on the turn. Lizano then led out making 230,000 bet to see the river. Giuseppe called and dealer showed us 2:h which paired the board again. Lizano bet 330,000 and Giuseppe put a raise to 790,000. Lizano didn't think so long and made a call. Pantaleo immediately mucked his cards and Lizano showed … J-T with just Jack high! Giuseppe then said that he mucked a winning hand because he had an ace. After this hand Lizano built his stack to 6,100,000 and took the lead. Giuseppe is now the shortest player with 2,280,000 in his stack.

Blinds up!

Now we have 28th level 40,000 / 80,000 ante 5000.

Giuseppe dropped again

This is unbelievable, Giuseppe haven't won a singe hand at the final table. He clashed again and lost again. Kent Lundmark opened from the early position and action folded to Giuseppe who made a call from the button position. Then players from the blinds called as well and we had first multiway hand today. On flop we saw Q:d Q:s 2:h. Action checked to Giuseppe and he fired the 190,000 bet. Kent was the only player who decided to call and we saw J:s on the turn. Check / check and dealer showed us 4:h on the river. Another two checks and Giuseppe announced that he had pocket sixes but Kent had him beaten with pocket tens.

Finally! Giuseppe scooped some chips. Konstantin Puchkov raised to 175,000 and action folded to Giuseppe on the small blind and he increased a price for seeing flop to 470,000. Konstantin stood up and after some tanking he eventually folded. Now Giuseppe should have about 2,800,000.

Players are now on 15 minutes break. We will be back soon.

Giuseppe Pantaleo lost huge to Putchkov

Giuseppe opened for 210,000 and Russian decided to call for the big blind protection. On flop we saw 3:d Q:d T:s and after Putchkov checked, Giuseppe made the continuation bet for 250,000. Konstantin called and we saw 2:c on the turn. Both players checked and river was the 4:c. After that Putchkov went into tank. Made some “oohh, eeehhh, ahhh” and then set up prize for seeing his cards – 760,000. Giuseppe called but when he saw A-5 with a runner runner straight mucked his cards.

Giuseppe Pantaleo doubled up!

Short after he lost much to Russian, Giuseppe was preflop all-in. Shander de Vries raised from the button and Giuseppe shipped whole his stack in the middle. De Vries had to call with A:s 4:s and he was dominated against A:d T:h holding by Giuseppe. However, on flop we saw 4:d K:d 7:h and de Vries hit his out. Giuseppe got more outs on the turn, where K:h paired the board. Now, he has to hit an ace or a seven or a ten. Then BUM! A:c hit the river to double Giuseppe's stack up.

Thor Stang eliminated in 6. place (€130,000)

In the very next hand after Giuseppe doubled up, Thor Stang moved all-in from the button for 1,695,000 and Kent Lundmark decided to call with pocket 5:s 5:d. Stang needed some help on borad with K:d Q:c. It never come, after we saw 6:d 7:c 3:s T:c J:c Thor went away.

Giuseppe Pantaleo eliminated in 5. place (€170,000)

Bad news Giuseppe Pantaleo is no more fighting for his first EPT tiltle. Kent Lundmark opened for 225,000 from the cut off and the action folded around to Giuseppe on the small blind. He moved all-in for 3,095,000. Kent snap called with Q:c Q:h and had Giuseppe covered. Pantaleo was in trouble because he has only 3 outs with A:s J:h. On flop 2:d 3:c J:s he hit the top pair but it was still not enough to beat the ladies. Unfortunately turn and river blanked with T:s and 3:d and Giuseppe hit the rail.

Very nice result. Congratulations!

Game is crazy all-ins all around!

Next player went away from the TV final table. Shandor de Vries open shoved from the button with Q:d 8:s and Kent Lundmark made snap call with A:c Q:s. On flop 7:h 6:d T:c Shandor got the gutshot straight draw but nothing happen on last two streets where we saw 3:c and J:d. Shandor went away eliminated in 4. place (€220,000). Lundmark is now a massive chipleader.

Kent Lundmark 9,450,000
Jesus Cortes Lizano 5,885,000
Konstantin Puchkov 4,885,000

Now players are on 15 minutes break but in very last hand before that we saw a massive pot. Lizano who was quiet for a while raised from the button to 255,000 and both Lundmark and Putchkov called. On flop 7:h A:c 4:c blinds checked to preflop aggressor and he bet out the ace for 465,000. Lundmark instantly folded but Russian decided to call and we saw 4:s on the turn. Puchkov checked again but this time, after Lizano fired the second barrel for 1,135,000 he raised to 2,500,000. That was enough to see Spanish player mucking his cards and Konstantin scooped a massive pot.

Blinds up! Level 30th 60,000 / 120,000 ante 15,000.

Konstantin Puchkov eliminated in 3rd place (€300,000)
