Tobias Peters has been eliminated for some time now and shared the details recently. Still in the 800/1,600 level a player had raised it up to 3,200 from middle position. The player on the button had made the call en with 
Peters came along for the ride from the big blind. The flop was 
and Peters checked to the initial raiser. Before that middle position player could place a bet, the player on the button had already tried to make a bet of his own.

Peters was convinced the button wanted to grab his chips back as soon as he had learned the initial raiser wanted to continuation bet and thus thought the button was weak. With his top pair Peters pushed allin for about 28,000. The initial raiser folded but the button snap called with

EPT7 London champion David Vamplew has just been eliminated, with Jesper Winzerling doing all the damage and Mateusz Zbikowski finishing him off.
Vamplew opened to 4,000 in early position, Morten Klein flat called, Bernard Lattouf did likewise and Winzerling then squeezed to 11,000 on the button. Back on Vamplew he asked Winzerling for a count of his stack (around 54,000) and he then moved all-in. Klein and Lattouf folded but Winzerling snap called.
Vamplew: 
Winzerling: 
The flop was 
Lattouf shot out of his seat and indicated that he'd folded 
and Klein said he'd folded jacks. So a potential blood bath avoided then and the 
river meant ultimately that had the other two stuck around that they'd still have lost to Winzerling's aces as he rivered the nuts.
After that stacks were counted down it was established that Vamplew had just a solitary 500 chip left, 300 of which went in as the ante and 200 in the big blind. The next hand Zbikowski raised the button, the small blind folded and the two were heads-up, Vamplew had 
, Zbikowski 
and the latter's hand held on the 
board to eliminate Vamplew.

Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier is motoring along nicely so we thought we’d stop by to watch a couple of hands. Here’s how they panned out. Matthew Haugen raised from first position to 4,500, Andrei Demidov called, Grospellier called in the small blind and the big blind folded. Three players saw a flop of 
and Grospellier decided to test the waters with a bet of 8,000. The waters were just fine and the pot headed his way.
Next hand Grospellier was on the button when Tom Alner opened for 4,000 and called, as did big blind Matthew Haugen. The flop came 
and it was checked to Grospellier who bet 7,200. Alner called. They both checked a turn and saw the river fall the 
. Alner paused and tossed out a bet of 8,000 but Grospellier barely shrugged before calling. Alner desperately didn’t want to show and muttered “You were right.” His cards were eventually mucked and Grospellier then didn’t have to show either as the chips went his way. “You river an ace?” Alner wanted to know. “Yeah.” ElkY said, but we’ll never know for sure. This guy should write a book.
