Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the final hand of the night, David Kaufmann raised to 400,000 under the gun. Ami Barer then jammed for 4,750,000 from the button and Kaufmann snap called once the action folded back to him.

Ami Barer: 8♥8♣
David Kaufmann: A♥A♣

The Q♠4♠10♣6♣Q♥ could not save Barer from his demise and he left the table while the other players bagged up their chips for the final day.

Lorenzo Arduini Eliminated in 8th Place (€154,800)

Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

David Kaufmann raised to 400,000 in early position and Lorenzo Arduini tanked for 30 seconds before putting in his last 350,000 on the button. Owen Dodd also called in the big blind.

Kaufmann and Dodd checked the 8♣10♥6♥ flop and the 9♥ fell on the turn. Kaufmann then bet 250,000 and Dodd folded, showing only the A♣.

"I guess I'm dead," Arduini said as he showed 3♦3♣. Kaufmann turned over Q♦7♦ for a straight. "Dead to a chop," Arduini added.

The river was the 10♦ and Kaufmann secured the pot to send Arduini to the rail in eighth place.

Sindre Hansen Eliminated in 9th Place (€119,100)

Nível 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

A hand after Eric Afriat's double up, Lorenzo Arduini raised to 300,000 in early position and Sindre Hansen tossed in his last 25,000 chip.

"Good luck," Barny Boatman told him.

"Now you wish me luck," Hansen replied.

"I wished you luck before if you were listening," Boatman added.

Peter Jorgne also called in the big blind as he and Arduini saw a flop of 9♥8♠3♥. Arduini then bet 300,000 and Jorgne called.

Both players checked the 10♠ turn and the 3♣ fell on the river. Arduini then bet 1,200,000 and Jorgne again called.

Arduini showed K♠K♣ and Jorgne mucked 2♠2♣. Hansen had picked up Q♥Q♣ but it wasn't enough to avoid being sent to the rail in ninth place.

Farid Jattin Eliminated in 10th Place (€91,550)

Nível 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 200,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Farid Jattin who moved all in for 1,940,000 in the big blind. Ponakovs snap-called.

Farid Jattin: K♦10♥
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♠Q♦

Jattin was looking for a king to stay alive as the flop came 9♣6♥2♣. The turn was the 5♣, while the 8♣ completed the board on the river and sealed Jattin's elimination in tenth place.

The remaining nine players are now drawing for seats at the final table.

Eliot Hudon Eliminated in 11th Place (€91,550)

Nível 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Eric Afriat raised to 250,000 on the button before Eliot Hudon moved all in for around 2,100,000 in the big blind. Afriat folded and last year's EPT Barcelona finalist Santiago Plante let out a loud clap from the rail.

"What a player," Plante said.

"I like to share," Afriat added as his fellow Canadian took the pot.

The next hand, Barny Boatman raised to 200,000 on the button and Hudon shoved again, this time for 2,460,000. Peter Jorgne in the big blind asked for a count and called, while Boatman got out of the way.

Eliot Hudon: A♦J♦
Peter Jorgne: Q♦Q♣

Hudon was looking for an ace to stay alive, but one wouldn't help him for long as Jorgne flopped quads on Q♥2♠Q♠. "Won't be easy," Boatman joked.

The rest of the board ran out 2♦2♥ and Hudon was eliminated in 11th place. "Good game. Nothing you could do there," Boatman said to him as he got up to shake his hand.

Gonzalo Almeida Eliminated in 12th Place (€76,300)

Calum_Grant

Nível 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Peter Jorgne kicked off the action with a raise to 200,000 from the hijack. Gonzalo Almeida then used a time bank extension before reraising to 450,000 on the button.

Eric Afriat sat in the small blind and quickly piled 2,000,000 chips in the middle, the majority of his stack. Jorgne then went all in for around 2,500,000 and Almeida pushed in his stack of just over 2,000,000 as well.

Afriat made the call to put both of his opponents at risk and all cards were tabled.

Gonzalo Almeida: Q♥Q♦
Peter Jorgne: K♣K♦
Eric Afriat: K♠K♥

Jorgne's kings flopped a flush draw on 9♣10♣3♣ while Almeida turned a straight draw on the 8♦. However, the 5♦ river bricked out and the chop was split between Jorgne and Afriat, resulting in Almeida's elimination.

David Tous Eliminated in 13th Place (€76,300)

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Before the hand, Ami Barer asked the floor about the rule about leaving too few chips behind after a raise, referencing Aleksejs Ponakovs' double up earlier.

"He doesn't know. He usually plays the high rollers and we don't use that rule in the high rollers," Barer was told.

"I can tell by the jacket he plays the high rollers," Barer joked, pointing out Ponakovs' sleek gold sweater that contrasted with his plain blue shirt.

Ponakovs then raised to 160,000 in the hijack and David Tous slid forward a tower of green 25,000 chips from the small blind. Ponakovs didn't even wait for the amount before moving all in. "No," Tous cried out as he called for his last 1,800,000.

David Tous: A♣9♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥K♦

Tous was dominated and found no help on the 10♥J♥6♣5♦J♠ flop as Ponakovs' king-kicker was enough to send him to the rail in 13th place.

Hans Erlandsson Eliminated in 14th Place (€63,550)

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ami Barer raised to 160,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Hans Erlandsson in the big blind. He weighed his options for a bit before committing his stack of roughly 1,000,000 chips in the middle.

A snap call followed from Barer and the cards went on their backs.

Hans Erlandsson: 3♠3♦
Ami Barer: K♠K♦

Erlandsson was rooting for a three to emerge from the deck, but none would come on the A♦7♠Q♠4♠9♦ runout. Barer's kings held up to eliminate the Swede in 14th place.

Mathias Siljander Eliminated in 15th Place (€63,550)

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Owen Dodd raised to 160,000 in the hijack before Lorenzo Arduini three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff. Mathias Siljander then moved all in for around 1,900,000 and Dodd quickly folded, while Arduini peeked back at his cards before joining Dodd in the muck.

The next hand, Siljander opened to 160,000 on the button and David Kaufmann called in the small blind.

The flop came A♣9♥10♥ and Siljander bet another 160,000. Kaufmann called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Siljander then bet 500,000 and Kaufmann called. The river was the 9♦ and Kaufmann checked over to Siljander for a third time.

Siljander then moved all in for around 1,700,000 and Kaufmann snap-called. Kaufmann turned over A♥9♠ for a full house and Siljander quickly mucked J♦8♦ for a missed straight draw as he headed off to the rail.

With that pot, Kaufmann moved above 10,000,000.

Dimitar Danchev Eliminated in 16th Place (€53,000)

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Right as Leo Worthington-Leese was being eliminated at the other outer table, Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 120,000 in the cutoff before Dimitar Danchev three-bet to 310,000 on the button. Ponakovs then moved all in and Danchev snap-called for 1,500,000.

Dimitar Danchev: A♠K♣
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦3♦

Danchev had Ponakovs dominated as the flop came 4♦K♠K♥ to give him trips. "You're almost as dead as the other guy," tablemate Lorenzo Arduini, referencing Worthington-Leese's bustout, told Ponakovs.

The J♦ fell on the turn and a murmur went around the table as Ponakovs picked up a flush draw. The 9♦ came on the river to complete his flush and send Danchev, the last remaining past EPT champion, crashing out of the tournament.

The remaining 15 players are now drawing for seats at the final two tables.
