At the level's start, 121 players remained from a starting field of 307. The entire chip counts originally of the extent can be found at the chip counts page. Approximate counts will appear here updated within the level. AN ENTIRE breakdown of the prize structure is at the prize structure page.
Blinds:Level ten: 600-1,200 (100 ante)Level nine: 400-800 (100 ante).
2.10pm: Level overThat's the top of level 10, so while players take a break, have an eye fixed of a video:
2.05pm: Partridge plucks at ThaterKatja Thater raised to 3,200 from early position and Thomas Partridge, within the bring to a halt seat, made it 6,000. Thater called. The flop came 5♠3♠Q♠ and Thater bet 6,000. Partridge moved all in for 26,000 and that sent Thater into the tank. "YOU'VE GOTTEN just one spade?" she asked, but receiving no reply from Partridge, she mucked. Partridge showed A♥3♣ after which quickly disappeared for the break on the end of the level.
2pm: Elite series pokerJohan Nilsson is without doubt one of the best bridge players in Sweden, and have been at the board of the most important bridge club in Europe for 16 years. This week, he's within the Baltics for poker - and he's adapted pretty much indeed. He's our chip leader on the moment, with about 115,000, and that's the reason already with reference to double what he started with. Late last night, he bagged up 65,000 and today the chips has been flooding in. He knocked out two short stacks within the first level, when his A-Q out-flopped pocket sevens and K-J, after which he was the gracious beneficiary of a mis-judge all in shove by a player with pocket fives. By the time the cash went in, his big blind 10-7 had made two pair. The second one level is drawing to a close, and the Swede looks more likely to have essentially the most on the moment.
1.40pm: Pre-flop aggressionMadis Ormisson, with about 32,000, made it 3,600 to play from the hijack and Christian Schneider, from the button, re-raised to 9,000 from his stack of just about 50,000. Antti Kärkkäinen, who covered them both, asked for a count from Schneider, before announcing that he was all in, an increasingly common four bet. Neither of the others fancied risking their whole stack and quietly got out the way.
1.35pm: Thater picking her spotsKatja Thater, having made a successful squeeze play earlier, has just demonstrated the advantage of taking every situation because it comes. She mucked A-K pre-flop this time after a raise and a flat call when she was at the button felt a little bit suspicious. She was right: one opponent had pocket kings, another pocket nines and a nine at the flop ended that one.
1.20pm: Lozkin loving itYesterday's chip leader Aleksandr Lozkin has started today where he left off last night. He had 65,300 over night, but now he has with regards to 95,000 and is obviously keen to make a charge in this one.
JC Alvarado, who was also some of the chip leaders on his day one, has found it slightly tougher going today. He's all the way down to about 45,000, although will always be adding a couple of more. Just recently, he checked out a cut-off raise to 2,500 from Shawn Grant and immediately bumped it as much as 6,200 from the button. Grant folded.
1.10pm: Thater squeezingThomas Partridge opened to 3,000 under-the-gun and Mike Beck Meincke called from the bring to a halt. Katja Thater was within the big blind and had seen enough: she moved all in for roughly 21,000. Patridge winced and folded; Meincke clearly considered calling, but eventually he folded to, showing pocket eights. That saw no reason to go back any information, sliding her cards into the muck and adding another six grand to her stack.
1.05pm: New levelWe've effortlessly moved into the second one level of the day, the 10th overall. A fair 100 players made it this far, with Peter Eastgate leading them.
12.50pm: Eastgate leaderPeter Eastgate has doubled up in what appears to be the largest pot of the day to this point. With 7♣8♣ within the hole, Eastgate defended his big unaware of an early-position raise from Tero Jokela. The flop came 10-4-6 rainbow, however the real action kicked off when the turn brought a 9. The entire money went in and Eastgate's straight had bettered Jokela's pocket jacks, sending Eastgate as much as around 100,000. He's the primary player into six figures.
12.40pm: Nielsen at the rackClaus Bek Nielsen and his neighbour got all for an unsightly pre-flop raising battle that proved costly to the Dane. It was folded to Nielsen at the button, who made it 2,200. The small blind, Mikhail Mun of Russia, made is 7,200 but Nielsen wasn't convinced. He dwelled for an excellent while before making it 14,500 but that did not impress Mun, who shoved for roughly another 29,000. Nielsen had him covered but was clearly daunted by the possibility of shipping greater than three quarters of his stack within the opening level.
"You made it so big that I MUST call this," Nielsen said. Well, there's "must" and do not" must" and Nielsen eventually opted for the latter. He folded and Mun took his stack to about 50,000, while Nielsen is right down to the high 20,000s.
It was a nasty couple of hands for Danish journalists as Jonas Huttel, another of that breed, was sent to the rail. He ran A-K into jacks to double up a brief stack, after which moved his own dwindling pile all in pre-flop, running 10-8 into A-J and getting no help. Huttel is now chatting to his friend Peter Eastgate.
12.30pm: Kristoffersen eliminated; blame it at the (Es)StonesGunnar Rabe opened from under the gun to 2,500 and Heiki Laja, at the button, installed a re-raise, making it towards 8,000. Within the big blind, the small stack Mats Kristoffersen under-called all in, which put the verdict back on Rabe. We have seen many of the Swede deep in EPT tournaments, where he's always a PokerStars qualifier, and always still around on no less than day two. That is how come: he folds this hand and claps his hand in self congratulation when he sees Laja's pocket kings and Kristoffersen's pocket jacks. The board runs the entire way and the kings hold up, sending Kristoffersen to the rail and provides Laja another few thousand to take him past 50,000.
12.20pm: Eliminations:As usual, there were a flurry of quick eliminations originally of the extent and, within the blink of an eye, we're right down to 117.
