Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 2nd Place (€471,500)

Tboss

Nível 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a limped pot, the flop read A♥K♦5♦, and Jean-Noel Thorel check-called a bet of 40,000 from Kayhan Mokri.

The 4♠ peeled off on the turn, and once Thorel checked, Mokri fired a bet of 175,000. Thorel check-shoved all-in putting Mokri to the test.

"Urgh, How much is it?" Asked Mokri as he contemplated. "What do you have?"

The dealer let him know it was 870,000 and he shrugged his shoulders as he announced the call.

Jean-Noel Thorel: J♦3♦
Kayhan Mokri: A♣Q♥

Thorel had turned a straight draw to go along with his flush draw, but the 3♣ river wasn't one of those outs as Mokri's pair of aces sent him to the rail in 2nd place for €471,500.

Tboss

Nível 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 80,000 on the button, leaving just 5,000 behind. Kayahn Mokri was in the big blind and announced all-in, and O'Dwyer called quickly.

Steve O'Dwyer: Q♥8♠
Kayhan Mokri: A♥Q♠

O'Dwyer was unfortunately dominated and the K♣K♠3♠A♣K♦ run out gave Mokri a full house to eliminate him in 3rd place.

Sam Grafton Eliminated in 4th Place (€209,600)

Tboss

Nível 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sam Grafton limped the small blind, and Jean-Noel Thorel checked his option.

When the K♥9♣8♥ flop hit the felt, Grafton led for 20,000 and Thorel made the call.

The 7♦ fell on the turn, and Grafton check-raised the bet of 30,000 to 90,000. Thorel called.

The 9♥ paired the board on the river and Grafton bet 265,000, leaving just 16,000 behind. Thorel moved all-in, and Grafton called. Grafton tabled 10♦6♣ for a straight on the turn, but it was no good as Thorel showed his trappy K♣K♠, making kings full of nines.

Vaskaboinikau Bubbles the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller

Tboss

Nível 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau moved all-in for just under 400,000 in the cutoff, and the action folded to Kayhan Mokri in the big blind who snap-called.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 8♠8♥
Kayahn Mokri: A♠K♦

It was a coin flip until Mokri paired his ace on the A♥9♠6♥ flop. Unfortunately for Vaskaboinikau, he couldn't find one of the remaining eights in the deck as the board completed with the 6♣ on the turn and the 4♠ on the river to just miss the min-cash worth €209,600.

Adams Eliminated; Grafton Doubles

Tboss

Nível 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Timothy Adams shoved 163,000 under the gun, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called in the cutoff before Sam Grafton moved all-in on the button. Vaskaboinikau asked for a count and called after hearing it was 306,000.

Timothy Adams: 9♦9♥
Sam Grafton: A♠K♠
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♣Q♥

Adams was in the lead with a pair of nines until the A♦10♦3♦ flop hit the felt, pairing the ace for both of his opponents. Adams was unable to catch another diamond or a nine as the board completed with the 8♣ turn and J♣ river, sending him out of the tournament while Grafton's king-kicker earned him the double.

Vaskaboinikau Turns the Mic Off on Lococo

Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo pushed his last 85,000 in the middle from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way.

Alejandro Lococo: A♥5♥
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♦K♦

"That's not good," Lococo said as the K♣ fell in the window, followed by the 6♥J♦. Lococo was already drawing dead after the 8♦ turn and began going around the table giving his tablemates a fist bump before the 8♣ river sealed the elimination of "Papo MC."

Tboss

Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised 18,000 under the gun and Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 50,000 on the button. O'Dwyer put in the four-bet to 115,000, and after using a time bank, Ketzer clicked it to 165,000. O'Dwyer moved all-in, and Ketzer called off his stack of about 305,000.

Felipe Ketzer: A♥K♥
Steve O'Dwyer: A♠A♦

It was a cooler for Ketzer as he ran into the aces of O'Dwyer and the board ran out J♣8♠5♥4♣3♣, sending him to the rail.

Nível 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo raised to 16,000 in the hijack before Patrik Antonius moved all in for 190,000 on the button. Jean-Noel Thorel, in the big blind, then reshoved and Lococo got out of the way.

Patrik Antonius: 5♦5♠
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♥J♣

Antonius found himself crushed by Thorel's jacks and in need of a miracle to stay alive in the tournament, but none arrived on the K♠4♥8♥K♥3♦ board and he was sent to the rail.

David Yan: Q♦9♦
Steve O'Dwyer: K♥J♥

Neither player connected with the 7♠4♦6♣3♣2♥ board and O'Dwyer won the pot with king-high to send Yan to an early exit on Day 2.
