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

Farid Jattin opened to 125,000 from the button with K♥3♥ and called when Eric Afriat three-bet to 275,000 from the small blind with A♥J♥.

Both players connected on the A♣7♦3♠ flop, with Afriat remaining ahead. Afriat bet 180,000 and was called, which brought in the 5♠ turn. Afriat continued firing with his top pair and slid out another 250,000 into the middle. Once again, Fattin stuck around with his pair of threes.

The 6♥ river put a four-liner on the board, prompting Afriat to slow down with a check. Jattin opted to check back and Afriat took another pot off the Colombian.

Livello 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.

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

Leo Worthington-Leese limped in from the small blind before Sindre Hansen made it 360,000 to go from the big blind.

Worthington-Leese then jammed all in for 1,100,000 chips and Hansen called after mulling it over for a bit.

Leo Worthington-Leese: A♥4♥
Sindre Hansen: A♠7♠

Hansen flopped trips on 7♣Q♠7♦ to leave Worthington-Leese drawing to a runner-runner chop. The 2♠ turn sealed the fate of Worthington-Leese and the A♦ river rolled off while he took his exit in 17th place.
