Olivier Busquet raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Koen De Visscher made it 175,000 on the button before Mario Nagel then moved all in from the small blind for about 1.6 million. Busquet and De Visscher both quickly folded.

Olivier Busquet has just shown why many have placed him as a firm favourite to walk away with the title here at EPT Campione.
We joined the action on the flop with Balazs Botond in the small blind and Busquet in the big blind. Botand lead into Busquet with a 110,000 bet only to see Busquet make it 330,000 to play. Botond sat studying the board for almost 90 seconds before he put in a raise of his own, this one to 660,000. Amazingly that was not the end of the betting because Busquet responded by making it 1,200,000 to play!
The reason we said "amazingly" is because Botond reluctantly folded and was shown from Busquet, who now has more than 5,000,000 chips.

Time to grab a coffee folks, it's a 15-minute break from the action.
Koen De Visscher opened the betting from the cutoff seat with a min-raise to 60,000 and Fabrice Soulier made the call form the big blind. A flop that read saw Soulier initially check and De Visscher make a small continuation bet of 60,000.
Soulier then check-raised to 136,000 which seemed to confuse the commentary team who said that Soulier has nothing almost always when he makes this move, De Visscher seems to think this too because he clicks it back to 225,000 and Soulier wastes little time in folding his hand.
Jannick Wrang raised to 65,000 and Balazs Botond three-bet to 150,000 from the cutoff, Wrang made the call to see a board. Wrang check-called a bet of 175,000 and then another 245,000 on the turn to see the river.
Wrang checked a third time and Botond gave up and quickly checked back, showing . Wrang turned over to win another big pot.

Germany's Mario Nagel opened to 60,000 from under the gun and to his immediate left was Jannick Wrang, who is looking to become the third consecutive Danish EPT champion. Wrang three-bets to 145,000 which folded out everyone except Nagel who made the call.
Flop: 9h] - Dominik Nitsche mentioned on the commentary that this kind of flop would create a big pot and he was not wrong. Nagel initially checked then called a 175,000 continuation bet from his Danish opponent.
Turn: - Nagel checked again and then called when Wrang fired a second bullet of 325,000 creating a pot of over 1,400,000.
River: - Nagel tapped the tabled and checked for a third time but Wrang instantly reached for chips and made it 650,000 to play! Nagel tanked for close to one minute before sending his cards back to the dealer.
