11am: From 28 to ?

Good morning everybody. It's Day 5 of the €5,300 main event and we have a confession to make. We're way behind schedule. The published plan for the tournament has it that we return this morning with 16 players and try to play to a final table of six. But the truth is, there are 28 obdurate folk still involved which is going to make it tricky.

One way or another, we're going to need to reach a final tonight, but the significant chances are that it will be eight-handed. And goodness knows how long it's going to take to lose the next 20 players.

One thing you can be certain of, however, is that we will be here watching it play out. So stick with us for what seems likely to be a very long day.

Take a look at the official website of the EPT, with tournament schedule, news and results.

Also all the schedule information is on the EPT App, which is available on both Android or IOS.
