1am: Final fourLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
The clock have been paused and the players will play four more hands before ending for the day. --NW
12:55am: Double up for VogelsangLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
Down to simply 119,000 Christoph Vogelsang moved all in from under the gun and located a caller within the shape of Willliam Arruda.
Vogelsang: Q♣Q♦Arruda: 8♥8♦
The 9♠Q♥7♦7♥3♣ board meant Vogelsang had it wrapped up by the turn. He's doubled to around 276,000 consequently. --NW
12:45am: Lebedev cracks aces to take the chip leadLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
Sergey Lebedev is as much as 1,691,000, good for the chip lead.
In the hand that took him there Samuel Panzica raised from the cutoff, Lebedev called from the small blind and Diego Ventura did likewise from the massive blind.
On the 2♥T♥K♣ flop Panzica bet 43,000 and Lebedev was the one caller. At the Q♠ turn the Russian changed tactics, leading for 100,000. Call from Panzica. The 7♠ fell on fifth street, Lebedev bet 225,000 and Panzica swiftly called. The previous showed Q♣Q♦ for a turned set and although Panzica didn't show he said he had aces. He's all the way down to 415,000 after that loss. --NW
12:35am: Huge pot for Patel as Vogelsang misreads the boardLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
Emil Patel is as much as 1,280,000 whilst Christoph Vogelsang is all the way down to just 128,000 in a hand where we predict Vogelsang misread the board as to start with he thought he had the winner at showdown.
We missed the pre-flop action but at the 9♣6♥Q♦ board Vogelsang (under the gun) bet 55,000 and Patel (big blind) check-called. The pattern repeated itself at the 6♦ turn with Patel calling of venture of 150,000.
The 7♦ rounded off the board and after Patel checked for a 3rd time Vogelsang slid out a gamble of 395,000 which was slightly greater than the 375,000 that Patel had behind. The latter called and Vogelsang showed K♦K♣ and thought he'd won when Patel showed A♦9♦. But Patel had the nut flush for the winning hand and the vast majority of Vogelsang's chips were pushed his way. --NW
Update: we spoke to Patel when play ended and he told us that Vogelsang didn't misread the board he just didn't see that Patel had a flush straightaway.
Patel's shot up the chip counts
12:25am: Tuna's comeback continuesLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
Akin Tuna has had a storming 20 minutes. He was as little as 160,000 and now he's as much as 1,075,000 after winning a large pot against Chartier.
The Canadian called bets of 55,000, 80,000 and 150,000 on a 4♠3♣5♥6♦Q♣ board and lost out to Tuna's Q♦2♠. Consequently Chartier is within the danger zone with just 335,000. --NW
12:21am: Last level of the nightLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000-16,000 (2,000 ante)
This is the last level of the night...probably. Christoph Vogelsang just asked the TD in the event that they can play on should they not reach the general table. She told him that's an option, but provided that everyone agrees. That is unlikely. --NW
12:20am: Panzica makes the nut flushLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)
Samuel Panzica just made the nut flush in a hand against Jerry Odeen and extracted two streets of value. They'd called from the blinds after Rocco Palumbo raised to 26,000 at the button. There has been no betting at the A♠Q♥9♠ flop but Panzica bet 48,000 after which 122,000 at the 2♠ turn and 2♦ river with Odeen calling all of the way. Panzica opened K♠J♠ for the nut flush and took the pot. --NW
Samuel Panzica, 880,000Jerry Odeen, 530,000
12:15am: Arruda can't can TunaLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)
Sound the sick call klaxon!
Willliam Arruda opened to 26,000 from the button, Akin Tuna called from the small blind and Sam Chartier stuck around from the large blind.
On the A♥3♣J♥ flop Arruda c-bet 45,000 and Tuna was the one caller. The 5♥ turn completed the flush draw and Arruda bet again, this time 90,000 and again Tuna called.
The German had just 196,000 back and at the 7♥ river Arruda bet enough to set him all in.He took off his sunglasses and headphones and tried to talk to Arruda, who stayed silent. Arruda was starring at Tuna though and the German put his headphones back in as he tried to determine what to do.
After another short while he called all in and was handsomely rewarded. Arrunda had 5♠2♠ for nothing but a couple of fives, meaning Tuna's A♣2♣ was the winning hand. What a choice! He's as much as 760,000 now and has leapfrogged Arruda, who's dropped to 750,000. --NW
Tuna isn't any fish, what a call
12:05am: Felix Bleiker eliminated in 14th place (€26,910)Level 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)
By the time Felix Bleiker made his move, he'd just dipped below the stack of Akin Tuna, the player who sent him to the rail.
Tuna opened to 25,000 from the hijack with Q♦J♦ after which made a rapid call after Bleiker three-bet all in for 156,000 with 5♣5♥ from the following seat. The board came A♠8♦J♣8♥T♣ to make the German two pair. --MC
11:45pm: Tuna looking to swim upstreamLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)
Despite being some of the shortest stacks of the remainder players Akin Tuna is playing probably the most pots of anyone. In this day and age it isn't working as he's seen his stack cut in half during level 19. He's lost two significant pots to drop to 160,000.
The first was against Emil Patel, he raised to 30,000 and Tuna called from the cutoff. Patel then check-called bets of 40,000 and 80,000 at the 9♣Q♦2♠ flop and 4♠ turn before moving all in at the K♣ river.
He had Tuna covered and the German tank-folded. Having recovered by winning a couple of small pots - including one where he raised with aces and got no action - Tuna then tangled with Christoph Vogelsang. The high stakes cash pro raised to 28,000 at the button and Tuna called from the large blind.
The 3♣T♠A♦ flop checked through and Tuna then led for 25,000 at the 7♠ turn. Call from Vogelsang. The 2♥ completed the board and Tuna bet again. This time 45,000 was the associated fee and it was a worth Vogelsang was willing to pay. Tuna showed K♦7♦ but Vogelsang had a hand, Q♠]Q♦ meaning Tuna is now the shortest stack of the rest players. --NW
11:30pm: Sylvain Loosli eliminated in 15th place (€26,910)Level 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)
No second high roller title this season for Loosli
EPT12 Barcelona High Roller champion Sylvain Loosli was the primary player to leave this level.
He opened to 28,000 from under the gun before Jerry Odeen three-bet to 70,000 from the button. Loosli went all in for around 350,000 and Odeen called.
Loosli: A♦K♦Odeen: T♣T♠
The board ran 7♠6♥J♠Q♠9♣ failing to enhance either player. Odeen's stack jumped as much as around 970,000.
That's two players out from Table 2 because the redraw so Ryan Riess have been moved into the seat vacated by Loosli so both tables are balanced with seven players apiece. -- MC
11:10pm: Riess leads the general 15Level 19 - Blinds 6,000-12,000 (2,000 ante)

Not too Gross a finish for Jeff
Jeff Gross winced just a little after he was called by Timothy Adams and saw his hand.
Adams had opened to 23,000 from under the gun and called after Gross three-bet all in for 173,000 from the button.
Adams: A♣K♥Gross: A♠Q♦
The board ran A♥9♣T♣2♥7♥ meaning Adams' kicker remained in play and he moved on as much as 500,000. -- MC

10:40pm: Two tables remain after Heath departsLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)
There are only two tables remaining after Ryan Riess took out another player, within the shape of Ben Heath.
Riess opened to 25,000 from the button and called after Heath three-bet all in for 211,000 from the large blind.
Riess: K♣Q♣Heath: A♥5♥
The board ran Q♦T♠3♥Q♥2♠ to make Riess trips. He moved as much as 1,120,000.
They'll be a brief break in play while a redraw onto two tables occurs. -- MC
10:37pm: No comeback for MericerLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
After losing that gigantic pot against Ryan Riess (see 10:30pm post) Jason Mercier was left with just three big blinds. He folded one hand, but at the second he moved all in for 31,000 and Jeff Gross, who'd just been moved to the table, re-raised all in for roughly 150,000 total and everybody else folded.
Mercier: 4♦4♠Gross: A♥5♥
It was a race, but not for long because the 5♣5♠2♠ flop favoured Gross. The 8♣ and 7♥ completed the board and Mercier wished the table good luck before heading on his way. --NW
There was no miracle comeback for Mercier
10:35pm: Diego doublesLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Diego Ventura is as much as 300,000 after doubling through Christoph Vogelsang. The Peruvian shoved for 147,000 with A♥J♥ and Vogelsang called the all in with K♥Q♥. The A♦T♣K♦8♣7♥ board ruled decisively in Ventura's favour and dropped Vogelsang right down to 920,000. --NW
10:30pm: Riess as much as a million, Mericer left with fumes, Leonzio outLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
A huge hand just went down at table two and it's left Ryan Riess with a seven-figure stack.
The action was started by Marco Leonzio, who moved all in for 146,000 from under the gun. Next to behave was Ryan Riess and he re-raised all in for 426,000 total. It then folded to Jason Mercier and the Team PokerStars Pro got a count of Riess' stack, capped his cards, thought for roughly 20 seconds after which called to create a three-way all in.
Leonzio: A♦8♠Riess: 9♥9♣Mercier: A♣K♠
The 7♣Q♣6♦J♠3♥ board kept the pocket pair in front. Consequently Mercier is all the way down to just 32,000, whilst Leonzio is the 19th place finisher. --NW
Riess is at the rise
10:25pm: Adams at the doubleLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Timothy Adams righted just a little wrong of the sector by holding with pocket kings versus Christoph Vogelsang to double.
He opened to 23,000 from the hijack before Vogelsang three-bet to 61,000. Adams four-bet jammed for 157,000 and the German high roller called.
Adams: K♠K♥Vogelsang: A♥J♦
The board ran T♥Q♥T♦T♠5♠ to make Adams a whole house. Vogelsang still has over 1.1 million.-- MC
10:10pm: Vogelsang eliminates Bazeley and takes the chip leadLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Oh boy! It is a sick one and a hand Jacob Bazeley won't forget in a while:
The American raised it up from the cutoff and Vogelsang defended from the massive blind. At the 4♣7♦9♥ flop Bazeley c-bet, Vogelsang check-raised and Bazeley smooth called. The T♣ fell at the turn and Vogelsang bet enough (203,000) to set Bazeley all in and he made the call.
Vogelsang: K♣5♣ - for a turned flush drawBazeley: K♦K♠ - a couple of kings
Lots of chips for Vogelsang
The 5♣ river completed Vogelsang's flush draw and Bazeley couldn't believe it. A horrible strategy to exit the tournament but he took it well and had a snappy chat with Ryan Riess before heading to the payouts desk. Vogelsang is as much as 1,280,000 that is good for the chip lead. -NW
Christoph Vogelsang, 1,280,000Jacob Bazeley, 0
