Abouaf went from three to four outs on the flop but neither the turn nor river was the queen he needed. Abouaf was left with just 5,000, half a small blind, literally a chip and a chair.
The next hand, Abouaf got his final chip in with and Andre Akkari isolated with to get it heads-up. The flop was to pair up Abouaf, but after the turn and river Akkari's best hand preflop was best at showdown.

No fewer than three former EPT champions are still in the hunt to become a two-time EPT winner: Adrian Mateos, Patrik Antonius and Davidi Kitai. Mateos could even accomplish a rarer feat, as he won this very same event back in 2015. However, the biggest stack going into the penultimate day belongs to Tomas Jozonis. A set-fueled day on Day 4 vaulted Jozonis to the top of the leaderboard, where he sits alone with 4,075,000.
Jozonis is far from winning it outright, as he has to navigate his way through a stacked table containing the likes of Ole Schemion (2,630,000), the aforementioned Antonius (1,505,000) and Mateos (1,495,000), as well as Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari (960,000). Davor Lanini (900,000), Sadri Saleh (610,000) and Dan Abouaf (595,000) are the short stacks at the table.
The improbable run of qualifier Krisztian Gyorgyi is still going on, as the Hungarian sits in 5th place with 1,770,000. Gyorgyi has no previously recorded live cashes and qualified for this event for just €5 on PokerStars. Gyorgyi will take place at the other table and has to deal with the likes of Javier Fernandez (2,120,000), Honglin Jiang (1,890,000), David Peters (1,675,000), Stefan Huber (975,000), Kitai (825,00), Josip Simunic (690,000) and Nicolas Dumont (500,000).
