Anina Gundesen qualified for this EPT tournament, her first major live event, via a $13 re-buy event on PokerStars. Now she has just knocked out a former WPT winner.

Christer Johansson was the man who took the fall, unable to beat Anina's ace-queen. Hot on the heels of this, Hans Eskildsen perished to leave us with nine. These few all get to sit around one table but it is one of the cruelties of the EPT that this is not the final table.

Tomorrow, we will reconvene for the full television treatment but there are only eight spaces on the cast list of the stars. One of these will not be among them.
