8.53pm: Dinner break
Players are now on a one-hour dinner break.

8.46pm: Jens Winkler bubbles Eureka4 Rozvadov
In the end, there was nothing more Jens Winkler could do. There looked to have been at least nine all-in showdowns but every single one saw either a split pot or the short stack doubling up. In the end, Winkler was all in as Sascha Achim Ranzinger and Mateusz Martewicz checked down a 6♣ 2♦ A♥ 9♣ 10♦ board.

Jens Winkler takes his leave

Razinger showed K♥ Q♦ , Martewicz flipped over 10♠ 8♠ , Winkler just needed to better this but he could only show Q♣ 3♠ . With that, the 90-minute bubble is over and everyone else is now in the money.

8.33pm: Two more double-ups
No-one is looking sadder than Jens Winkler at the moment. First Nessim Alberto Dayan doubled through Bert Geens with A♠ J♦ against 9♠ 2♠ after the money went in on the turn of a 3♣ J♥ 9♠ 6♠ 8♣ board. Then Michael Passy doubled through Zoltan Gal with A♥ K♥ against A♠ 8♣ , Passy flopping a king. Winkler has three antes, can he survive?

8.24pm:Winkler ready to jump the sharks
Jens Winkler looks to be the shortest stack remaining. The German just had the blinds pass through him and he has 2,000 remaining – four antes.

You can cut the tension with a knife (or equivalent tension-cutting apparatus)

8.14pm: Always aces
“We have an all-in and a call,” said tournament director Luca Vivaldi, “the all-in player has aces…”

“They always have aces!” shouted an annoyed person from another table.

This time it was Petr Subik with A♥ A♦ who doubled up through Josef Gulas’ A♣ Q♦ after a blank board. We’re about halfway through level 16 here and it looks as though this bubble will be lasting a little while yet.

8.10pm: No breakthrough
The bubble is still going on strong, Ilie Smintanca-Januszewski just doubled up to 45,000 when he shoved for his last 22,000 from the button with A♥ K♥ . Raf De Wever called in the big blind with A♠ 8♥ but there were no surprises on the 4♠ K♥ J♦ 5♣ 10♥ board.

7.52pm: Level up
Blinds are now 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante. There will be a one-hour dinner break at the end of this level.

7.30pm: Three showdowns, no exits
Tasho Sehitaj doubled up through Zoltan Gal, check-calling three streets with aces on a 4♠ 9♥ Q♦ 6♣ 9♣ board against the Hungarian’s pocket sevens. Jan Przysucha and Athanasios Fergiatakis split a pot after both got their chips in with ace-ten on a 10♥ 9♠ 2♥ flop. Finally Kevin Barkow doubled up with kings against Bert Geens’ six-seven, Barkow hit a third king on the turn for good measure.

7.10pm: Azan bubbles the bubble
Victor Azan moved all in for 21,000 over the top of Tomasz Gluszko’s initial 8,000 raise. Gluszko made the call with 6♥ 5♦ and Azan’s A♥ K♥ was ahead but the board came a topsy-turvy 6♦ 3♥ 5♥ 8♠ J♠ as Gluszko made two pair to knock out the Frenchman. The tournament is breaking a table and going hand-for-hand.

Colin Lovelock’s tournament is over. He was all in with 8♥ 8♦ against Istavan Briski’s A♣ A♠ but the board came Q♣ 5♥ K♥ 2♣ 4♦ and Briski moved up over the 300,000 mark.

5.45pm: De Wever on top

At the other end, well-known Czech pro Martin Kabrhel is one of the short stacks with just 30,000 while compatriot Ondrej Lon is the latest player to have been eliminated.

5.32pm: Jambor doubles through Passy
A crucial double up for Christian Jambor who moved all in for 32,700 over the top of Michael Passy’s initial 6,000 raise. Passy gave him a spin with Q♥ J♦ but Jambor’s A♥ K♦ held film on a K♥ Q♣ 10♣ 7♦ 6♠ board. Jambor moved up to 70,000 while Passy dropped to 120,000.

5.20pm: The bubble is looming
