We caught the action very late in the hand and the board was . There was a pile of chips in the middle and Bryn Kenny had just checked to Team Pokerstars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier who shoved for his remaining 60,000. Kenny made the call and Grospellier turned over for the flush and Kenny mucked his hand.
Surinder Sunar recently cashed in EPT Vienna and he has achieved the same feat this time but has not run as deep.
Sunar opened with a raise under the gun to 16,000 and Zachary Korik to his immediate left three-bet to 50,000 and Sunar who had 75,000 behind just called. Even before the flop was dealt Korik had a pile of chips in his hand ready to put Sunar all-in should he check. The flop was and Sunar instead pushed all-in and Korik did go through with his threat and made the call.
Zachary Korik could have started a new craze in poker, calling the clock on himself when facing an decision that would have cost him around half of his stack.
With 90,000 chips already in the pot, Korik checked, which opened the door for Bryan Pellegrino to move all-in for around 160,000 chips. Korik sat squirming in his seat for a couple of minutes before asking his table mates to call the clock on him.
They all refused so Koric called the clock on himself, giving himself a minute to make his decision. Tournament Director, Thomas Kremser stood behind him and was about to start the timer but Koric finally made his decision, and that was fold.

Bryn Kenney is making a new assault on the top of the chip counts - he's just knocked out Oskar Lind. Lind open-shoved from the button with but Kenney made the call from the big blind with and promptly spiked on the board.
Marc Naalden had a spot of good fortune and Sebastien Bovyn a disaster. Bovyn was all in preflop with , well ahead of Naalden's - but the board ran out and put an end to Bovyn's tournament run.
