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.
Jonathan Duhamel opened for 800 under the gun and Steve O'Dwyer made the call. Two more callers followed, one of them Talal Shakerchi in the small blind.
Ray Tabei from the beautiful Saint Kitts and Nevis squeezed all in from the big blind for 11,700.
Duhamel folded, but O'Dwyer made the call. Both other players folded and O'Dywer got Tabei for himself.
Ray Tabei: 
Steve O'Dwyer: 
O'Dwyer had flatted with a monster, but it wouldn't improve against Tabei's fours: 
. A small dent for O'Dwyer, a hugely important double up for Tabei.

The flop was 
. Niall Farrell in the big blind checked as did Max Greenwood. Jonathan Karamalikis bet 1,500 and both Farrell and Greenwood called.
The turn card was the 
which was checked around and all three saw the river card come the 
.
Farrell led out for 4,200 and while Greenwood quickly folded Karamalikis had a decision to make. That river card brought in a host of draws and was also surely a perfect card for Farrell to bluff into two people with. Was Karamalikis a believer? It took him a while but in the end he folded and in throwing away his cards they accidentally turned over to show his 
.
Farrell just collected the pot and slid his cards to the dealer.

Dan Cates just bought in and walked up to table 8 which has Antonio Esfandiari and Ole Schemion. He managed to drop a chip on the floor and then announce that he had forgotten to bring his ID. Beofe he sat down Esfandiari asked him, “Jungle, are you at table eight or table four?”
“Table eight.” Cates responed. “Oh wait, table four.”
Cates will be starting at table 4 seat 8. “Such a fish.” laughed Esfandiari.
Sam Trickett has also bought in and presumably knows which table he is at.

We missed the action developing but apparently Artem Metalidi had over-called a four-bet before calling an all-in with 
and was against the

The cards ran out 
and Metalidi was covered by Kenney and had fired his first bullet.
