Today we also spoke to EPT Live commentator James Hartigan to talk about his first EPT, and the story might surprise you. Hartigan played in the first EPT he attended, and it also turned out to be the only even he would ever have chips in.
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 3,000 from the cut off before Benjamin Pollak raised it up to 8,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Thorel made the call.
The flop came down 
and Thorel check called another bet totalling 7,000 before both players checked the 
on the turn.
With the dealer producing the 
on the river, Thorel Instantly moved all in for 30,400 in chips. The bet had Pollak covered by just 200 in chips. After a minute of thinking, Pollak made the call and Thorel tabled his 
for ace high. Pollak tabled 
for a pair of jacks and the winning hand.
In the very next hand, Thorel moved all in for one 100-chip from the hijack. Ivan Soshnikov raised it up to 3,000 which was enough to force the blinds out.
Thorel was in trouble with his 
up against 
and was almost out the door when the dealer spread out the 
flop. Fortunately the turn and river came the 
and 
to put a straight on the board as half the table yelled out to Thorel to come back.
In the final hand, Thorel moved all in for 400 from middle position. The action folded around to the player in the big blind who had the bet covered already and rolled over his 
. Thorel showed 
and was unable to make it third time lucky as the board ran out 
to see him leave the tournament floor.. again!

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened before the flop and Metaal made the call in position. Andrey Andreev in the small blind came along for the ride as well.
Andreev checked to "ElkY" on and the French PokerStars Team Pro bet out 2,500. Metaal made the call, Andreev called again also.
All three of them checked the on the turn and so the was seen without a charge. Andreev checked again and Grospellier bet out 12,200. Metaal thought for a little bit, and than just called. Andreev called instantly as well.
Grospellier proudly showed his for a straight flush. Metaal confidently turned over and only saw mili seconds later that he was beat. Andreev double checked his cards one last time, flashed at least an ace (we couldn't see the other card), and mucked as well.
Grospellier and Metaal laughed and discussed how the hand could have turned out differently if Metaal had raised the flop, bet the turn, or raised the river.

Govert Metaal is up to 140,000. Before the dinner break Metaal played a five bet pot where his opponent called before the flop, but eventually folded on the river when Metaal moved all in. Metaal didn't told us what he had, but it was a big pot he said.
He also won a sizable pot after the break where had pocket queens on a board where the turn was a third seven. With his fullh ouse Metaal bet big with the supposition that his opponent had a pair and so a fullhouse which he wouldn't be willing to laydown. Metaal was right, his opponent indeed did call and mucked after seeing Metaal's big pair.
The other two Dutch players are playing with a bit fewer chips; live qualifier Mateusz Moolhuizen has a little over starting stack, Luuk Gieles plays a little less.

Chris Hunichen opened from middle position and David Boyaciyan three bet on the button to 4,000. Sotirios Koutoupas, who finished runner up to Ramzi Jelassi in the Prague Main Event two years ago when Boyaciyan finished third, cold called from the big blind. Hunichen made the call as well.
Koutoupas and Hunichen checked on and Boyaciyan bet 3,800 in position. Koutoupas instantly folded, Hunichen made the call. Hunichen check called another 7,200 without giving it too much seat on the turn. The 
on the river made Hunichen check again and Boyaciyan bet out 15,100 with 15,000 behind.
Hunichen needed some time and started talking after some minutes. "Lets make a deal; if I fold I'll show you what I had, if you show what you had." No response from Boyaciyan who was sitting there relaxed, playing a bit with the toothpick in his mouth.
Hunichen continued "Can you beat a set? You have kings or ace-king?" Still no reply from Boyaciyan. "Do you really have kings?" asked Hunichen.
Eventually the American folded and Boyaciyan quietly mucked. "Show the bluff and you're my hero!" laughed Hunichen. "[I'm] not good enough to bluff" said Boyaciyan with a mysterious smirk on his face. "Yeah you are, you might have pulled one right there!" Hunichen replied. "Not good enough to bluff" replied Boyaciyan again with a little bit bigger smile this time around.
"I made the same laydown on the same runout in Florida in the $10 Million. I was wrong there, really makes me wonder," Hunichen said now to no one in particular. "Cant always be a bluff" replied the new button. In the meantime, the next hand was dealt, Boyaciyan was done stacking, and Hunichen raised again. Boyaciyan is up to 65,000 in chips.

Vlad: 
Korenov:
Vlad would flop the world when the dealer showed . The lead would be momentary as the dropped on the turn giving Korenov a higher two pair. The on the river was no help for Vlad, who wished his tablemates good luck, before heading to the rail.
