We’ve found him. By that we mean the player here for almost nothing, overachieving with the performance of a lifetime. His name is Sebastian Bredthauer and it’s not hard to understand why, in between telling his story, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Not only that, this is his first EPT. It would be, given that it’s his first ever live tournament. Cue more laughter from Bredthauer.
Bredthauer’s story of how he turned 100 FPPs into a seat in the Grand Final, and a guaranteed cash finish, is probably best left to him, as the PokerStars Blog reports.

There's no stopping Martins Seilis at the moment. No soon had he eliminated Team PokerStars Pro Ville Wahlbeck than he was at it again. This time calling Christoph Vogelsang's all-in of around 350,000.
Seilis:
Vogelsang:
The flop couldn't have been much worse for the German, it came to give Seilis the nuts. The turn and river didn't change a thing.
24 players are left, there is now a complete redraw.

Team PokerStars Pro Ville Wahlbeck opened to 40,000 on the button before Martins Seilis made it 92,000 in the small blind. Wahlbeck responded by moving all in and Seilis called instantly.

Seilis:
The board came and the Finn was knocked out by the Latvian.

Hendrik Latz was the overall chip leader headed into Day 2, and he used it to make his way all the way to 27th place, which is where his journey came to an end.
He shoved his last 158,000 from the hijack and Miroslav Alilovic called from the small blind.
Latz:
Alilovic:
The flop paired both players, but of course Alilovic's aces were best. Neither the turn nor river helped Latz, and his day came to an end.

Among the stars of the EPT Grand Final you would have been hard-pressed to pick out a young Russian by the name of Vladimir "shabalinvlad" Shabalin. The 26-year-old is only the third player to ever break the 10,000,000 VPP barrier, which is, in case you didn’t know, an absolutely phenomenal amount of VIP Player Points. Read the interview at PokerStars Blog.
Having doubled up Mark Teltscher in a blind-on-blind confrontation, Emil Patel moved all in for his last 300,000 over the top of Miroslav Alilovic's initial raise.
The Frenchman made the call and they were off to the races.
Patel:
Alilovic:
The flop was a good one for Patel but the turn left him drawing dead before the river had been dealt. Alilovic moves up to 1.3 million.
