Daily Rewind: EPT London update, play poker in Prague, nanonoko's video blog

Today we look forward to EPT London's finale, prepare for Prague's poker festival and hear from Randy 'nanonoko' Lew.

EPT London's final few

The end is near

It took four levels and a dominant display by two players to bring Day 4 of EPT London's Main Event to a close.

Yesterday's session started with 45 hopefuls all trying to move another step towards the £560,980 top prize; however, as the session wore on 29 of those were pressured backwards by David Yan and Robin Yliato.

Indeed, whilst the likes of Sebastian Blom (45th - £11,425), Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott (31st - £14,940) and Andrew Moseley (19th - £22,850) fell by the wayside, Yan and Yliato were able to rip through the field and finish the day in first and second.

Today's penultimate session kicked off earlier and after losing eight players tomorrow's final table was set. See below for the chip counts of the final eight players.

Prague's poker schedule released

Poker in Prague

The Prague Poker Festival gets underway in December and ahead of the three-week tournament bonanza the organisers have released the list of events.

In total the festival will host 30 tournaments and one of the main draws will be the €3,300 WPT Prague Main Event.

Kicking off on December 15, the five-day tournament is expected to welcome a slew of pros, including Marcin Wydrowski who overcame 567 players in 2012 to take the title and €325,000.

Also on the menu for those looking to test their intellectual mettle will be a range of mind sports, including Magic: The Gathering, chess and scrabble tournaments.

When Randy 'nanonoko' Lew isn't grinding an insane amount of tables it seems there's nothing he likes more than making video blogs.

In the past he's tried his hand at various skits and in his latest effort he plays the role of interviewer and interviewee as he fields questions from his Twitter followers on various topics, including fighting ducks and horses.

HM2 update

Hold'em Manger 2 has just received another makeover and in the latest update the developers have fixed a number of issues and added some interesting features.

In a bid to make it easier to find bad players, HM2's TableScanner now allows players to define the fishy players they want to play. Once they've done this the software will automatically seat them at a table with at least one fish.

This new feature is currently available as a 60-day free trial and sits alongside a host of other improvements, including: a new quick setup feature, a live hand marking shortcut and improved player analysis system.

Yesterday saw another relatively tame day of action at the virtual tables and by the time the betting had stopped Kyle 'KPR16' Ray was left at the top of the profit chart.

Thanks to a $148,737 haul after just 239 hands, the American pro was able to finish the session ahead of Gus Hansen ($86,851) and 'FMylife' ($81,070).

At the opposite end of the spectrum it was a rough day for Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom as he fell to a $356,387 defeat.

That downswing was more than enough to put the Swede atop of the loss leaderboard ahead of Dan Junglemandan Cates (-$65,426).

Caption Competition

For today's caption competition we bring you this shot of Michael Mizrachi looking distinctly unimpressed with the player trying to get undressed beside him.

Daily Signoff

John Candy might not have been a world-class poker player but in this classic clip he demonstrates a novel way to exploit fish.
