Former EPT Champion Wigg Eliminated by Almeida

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anton Wigg
Anton Wigg

Panagiotis Mavritsakis raised to 65,000 in the hijack with the 6?6?. Anton Wigg then jammed on the button for 530,000 and Gonzalo Almeida pushed all in over the top. Hans Erlandsson was in the big blind and glanced at all of the stacks in front of him while looking down on 10?10?.

Erlandsson went through the emotions again, used one time bank and opted to fold this time. Mavritsakis also let go and the other two players showed their pocket pairs.

Anton Wigg: 7?7?
Gonzalo Almeida: J?J?

After the K?J?2? flop, Wigg sighed, "that's gonna be tough," and already gathered his belongings. Almeida improved to a full house on the 9?K? runout and Wigg had to settle for 30th place and €30,250, missing out on a shot at a second EPT Main Event title.

Boatman Gets River Value From Jattin

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman

Barny Boatman made it 60,000 to go in the cutoff with the K?7? and Farid Jattin just called in the small blind with the A?K?. On a flop of 10?8?4?, Jattin opted to check-call for 80,000 and they checked the 10? on the turn.

The A? river then hit both players. Jattin bet small for just 55,000 and Boatman raised it up to 375,000. That forced Jattin to use two time bank extensions. He could not find a fold and Boatman soared to more than two million in chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David Kaufmann
David Kaufmann

David Kaufmann raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Aleksejs Ponakovs made the call in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and a 7?J?2? flop was fanned.

Both players checked before Kaufmann made an overbet of 300,000 chips on the 4? turn. Ponakovs came along with a call and the 5? river completed the board.

Kaufmann spent some time in the tank before announcing his all-in, covering Ponakov's stack of 1,575,000. Ponakovs mulled over the situation for a bit before finding a fold and the pot was shipped to Kaufmann.

Barer Bets Afriat Off an Ace

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ami Barer asked Eric Afriat how many time banks he had and Afriat replied that he had 12.

"You don't win the tournament with time banks," Barer replied.

"That's it, take him down. Don't let him know he's chip leader and time bank leader," Eliot Hudon added.

Afriat then raised to 75,000 under the gun and Barer called in the cutoff. The flop came 4?7?10? and Afriat checked.

Barer then bet 80,000 and Afriat called. The turn was the 2? and Afriat checked again. Barer then bet 120,000 and Afriat open-folded A?K?.

"One pair," Barer told him.

"If you reraised there might have been fireworks," Afriat added.

Red-Hot Erlandsson Strikes Again and Knocks Out Minasi

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alessandro Minasi
Alessandro Minasi

In a limped pot to the J?5?3? flop, Hans Erlandsson checked with the K?5?. Alessandro Minasi bet 75,000 with the J?10? only for Erlandsson to check-raise to 225,000.

Minasi wasted little time to move all-in for 980,000 and Erlandsson went through the motions before making the call!

It was a coin flip and Minasi stayed ahead on the 6? turn but Erlandsson nailed the K? river to earn the second knockout in a row, skyrocketing to the top spot.

Sindre Hansen raised to 60,000 under the gun, Owen Dodd three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind, and Hansen called.

The flop came 4?10?4? and Dodd led out for 150,000. Hansen called and they both checked the 8? turn.

The river was the 6? and Dodd bet 375,000. Hansen took off his sunglasses and tucked them into the collar of his shirt as he used three time banks before mucking.

"That good?" Hansen asked Dodd who took a peek back at his cards before returning them face down.
