Dimitar Danchev opened for 1,200 and got called by Zoltan Szabo. Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 4,200 and it went back to Danchev who four-bet to 8,400. Szabo folded as did Mitsche who spun his cards into the muck in frustration.
Igor Kurganov and Benny Spindler were among the recent eliminations, but they've opted to immediately reenter.

Back in October, Jason Lavallee won the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour London High Roller for £357,700. Lavallee is in today's field looking to become the first player to ever win two EPT high roller titles, but he just faced a set back in a hand against David Kaufmann.
It began when Kaufmann opened under the gun only to have Lavallee three-bet to 4,400. Kaufmann made the call and the both players checked the 
flop. When the 
turned. Lavallee led out for 5,400, Kaufmann called, and the 
completed the board on the river.
Lavallee slowed down with a check, and Kaufmann took his time before betting 8,400.
"I'm so confused," Lavallee admitted as he contemplated what to do for nearly two minutes. The bet constituted a good portion of his stack, but he decided to see it. Once the chips hit the felt, Kaufmann tabled the 
for the nuts. Lavallee stared at the cards for a moment and then sent his own to the muck unseen.

Anatoly Filatov has joined the High Roller and almost immediately got a double up. Jakub Michalak five bet shoved with 
and was called by the

leading him to remark,”F**k this tournament. I don’t want to play anymore.”
