Well, the first four bet that wasn't all in.
Julien Claudepierre raised to 170,000, but to his immediate left Martin Jacobson made it 460,000 to go. Back to Claudepierre, who stared silently at the felt for a moment, before four-betting to 1,060,000.
Jacobson dwelled and dwelled, and after perhaps three or four minutes he decided it wasn't worth it and folded. He's down to 6 million now.
Martin Jacobson continues to lay siege to the rest of the table. He raises to 130,000 from the button and Kaspars Renga and Alex Wice get out of way in the blinds so he can add another 120,000 to his collection.
Next it is Hnatow's turn to steal the 120,000 on offer as he takes down the blinds and antes uncontested after a 140,000 raise.
Jacobsen then raised again to 130,000. This time Kenny Hallaert called in the small blind and we saw a very draw heavy flop of 
. Hallaert check folded to a 145,000 continuation bet from Jacobson.
Martin Jacobson continues to be the most active player at the table, but he's encountered some resistance so far.
Jacobson opened to 130,000 from late position and purloins the blinds and antes.
Jacobson opened to 130,000 but Kenny Hallaert reraised to 370,000 out of the small blind. Jacobson counted his opponent's remaining stack but declined to call.
Julien Claudepierre opened to 140,000 and won the blinds and antes.
Lucien Cohen opened to 170,000 and picked up the blinds.
Cohen opened to 140,000 but Martin Jacobson 3-bet the small blind to 380,000, Cohen instantly called without any hesitation to see a 
flop. Jacobson carefully put out a bet of 410,000 and Cohen snap-raised to 900,000, Jacobson folded.
Ruslan Prydryk will not be improving upon his 5th place finish at EPT Warsaw back in season six after being eliminated at the hands of Julien Claudepierre.
Claudepierre raised to 130,000 from early position and Prydryk moved all-in from the button for around 900,000 and Claudepierre made the call.
Claudepierre: 
Prydyrk: 
The flop catapulted Claudepierre into the lead when it came down 
but the turn of 
gave Prydyrk a lot more outs with any diamond, six or five lying in the deck waiting to help the Ukrainian out.
The river was the 
and Prydyrk was out first player eliminated.
It's just been a series of small hands since Kaspars Renga's double up.
Kenny Hallaert raised to 135,000 in the cutoff and was called by Lucien Cohen on the button. Hallaert bet out 160,000 on the 
flop and Cohen called; Hallaert then check-folded on the 
turn.
Meanwhile Alex Wice has got back a few a of the chips he lost in doubling up Renga. The first time Wice opened to 130,000, everyone folded and he picked up the blinds and antes. The second time Wice opened, two hands later, he got a call from Hallaert, but Wice bet out another 160,000 on the 
flop and Hallaert gave it up.
Renga has also further upped his stack - he raised to 140,000 under the gun and everyone folded, leaving him to pick up the blinds and antes. He got a round of applause from the rail.
Alex Wice has started like a house on fire but the person who wins the most pots will not necessarily win the tournament; but the guy who wins the most chips most certainly will.
In hand one Alex Wice raised to 110,000 under the gun and everyone folded and he won 115,000 uncontested. In hand two everyone folded to Alex Wice in the big blind and he won another 110,000 uncontested.
In hand three the action folded around to Wice in the small blind and his opponent in the big blind was Kenny Hallaert. Wice raised to 120,000 and Hallaert called. The flop was 
and Wice bet 140,000 and Hallaert called. The turn wass and Wice check-called a 240,000 bet by Hallaert. The river was the and again Wice checked and again Hallaert bet; making it 340,000. The usual quick-fire Wice slowed down and you could tell he had a marginal decision to make. In the end he decided to call and it was a good decision because his 
was good enough to beat Hallaert's verbal announcement of ace high.
Then in the fourth hand Kaspars Renga raised to 165,000 in the cut off and Wice three bet to 330,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Renga moved all-in and Wice called. Renga has 
and Wice had 
. The board didn't change anything and Renga doubled up.
Board: 
Renga ~ 746,000
So Wice won three and lost one but more importantly he added some chips to his stack.
