Francesco Delfoco
Francesco Delfoco

The action commenced with a raise to 100,000 by Hans Erlandsson with the K?J? in the hijack for Francesco Delfoco to call in the small blind with the K?Q?.

Delfoco check-called for 75,000 on Q?8?4? and check-raised the 10? turn from 300,000 to 775,000. Erlandsson mulled it over for a while and called to the 10? river.

The shove by Delfoco for 635,000 followed and Erlandsson let go of his missed draw.

Dodd Makes Jorgne Use Seven Time Banks

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Peter Jorgne
Peter Jorgne

Peter Jorgne raised to 100,000 in the hijack, Owen Dodd three-bet to 345,000 in the small blind, and Jorgne called.

The flop came 3?2?5? and Dodd continued for 350,000. Jorgne called and the 2? fell on the turn.

Dodd then bet 900,000, sending Jorgne deep into the tank. He ended up using all seven of the time banks he had left as he tanked for several minutes.

"I so want to shove," Jorgne finally said as he tossed his cards into the muck. By this time a horde of cameras had surrounded the table capturing the action.

"Show the cameras," Jorgne said to Dodd, who briefly flashed his cards to the television crew before returning them face down to the dealer.

Siljander Secures Double-Up

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Eliot Hudon in the small blind, who jammed all in to put big blind Mathias Siljander's stack of 455,000 at risk. Siljander took a few looks at his cards and stuck in the call.

Mathias Siljander: J?8?
Eliot Hudon: K?3?

Siljander flopped a flush draw on 4?9?5?, and turned a pair on the 8?. The Q? river did not improve Hudon and Siljander doubled up to a stack of almost 20 big blinds.

Eric Afriat opened to 100,000 on the button holding the 10?9? and Hans Erlandsson came along with a three-bet in the small blind with the K?Q? for Afriat to call.

The A?Q?4? flop brought a raising war as Afriat faced a bet of 200,000 and made it 450,000 to go. Only three seconds later, Erlandsson reraised to 1,000,000 and Afriat folded.

Jorge Ufano
Jorge Ufano

Sindre Hansen opened to 125,000 from the button and Jorge Ufano called from his short stack from the big blind. Ufano check-called for 75,000 on the A?K?9? flop but then check-folded on the 8? turn when Hansen put in a stack of T-100,000 chips.

The following hand, Ufano jammed for 390,000 and Eliot Hudon called from the big blind.

Jorge Ufano: A?4?
Eliot Hudon: A?J?

Hudon hit his jack on the J?9?2? flop to leave Ufano drawing extremely thin. The K? turn marked his elimination before the 9? completed the board.

Easy Game for Barer and Erlandsson

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Hans Erlandsson raised to 100,000 with the J?9? in early position and Ami Barer called with the 9?9? in the hijack, Farid Jattin folded the 8?7? in the big blind. Erlandsson smiled when he checked the A?8?2? flop and instantly folded to a bet of 75,000.

The Swede raised again to 100,000 with the A?J? first to act and Eric Afriat came along with the K?3? in the big blind. Both had a piece of the J?6?3? flop and Afriat check-called instantly for 75,000.

The 2? turn brought a flush draw for Afriat, who check-called for 175,000 and missed the 2? river. Afriat checked, Erlandsson bet 300,000 and Afriat mulled it over before paying off.

Aleksejs Ponakovs
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Gregory Fournier raised to 100,000 from the cutoff before Aleksejs Ponakovs made it 500,000 to go from the big blind, leaving 90,000 behind.

Fournier then went all in and Ponakovs made the call.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A?Q?
Gregory Fournier: J?J?

The K?2?8? missed Ponakovs, but he made top pair on the Q? turn to take the lead. The 6? river bricked out and Ponakovs doubled up, leaving Fournier with just over ten big blinds.

Mathias Siljander: K?Q?
David Tous: A?J?

Tous was ahead with his ace-jack, but Siljander paired up on the K?J?3? flop and remained best after the 5? turn and 3? river.

Tom Middleton
Tom Middleton

Tom Middleton moved all in for 465,000 in the hijack as action went on Dimitar Danchev, who asked for a count and spent a few moments looking around at the other stacks. He eventually folded, as did button Owen Dodd, but Gonzalo Almeida called in the small blind.

Tom Middleton: A?7?
Gonzalo Almeida: A?K?

Middleton was dominated and found no help on the 2?10?4?J?5? board to hit the rail in 22nd place.

With Middleton's elimination, Dimitar Danchev is the last remaining EPT champion still in the hunt for a second title.
