Carlos Acevedo opened 6,000 in middle position and David Rivas called on the button, as did Jose Priego in the small blind before Jeevan Lobo three-bet 22,000 from the big blind. Acevedo responded with an all-in jam, covering all three players. Rivas and Priego snap-mucked, and Lobo tank-called off his stack of about 150,000 total.
Jeevan Lobo: A♠J♦
Carlos Acevedo: J♥J♠
The 4♦3♠2♣ flop gave Lobo a straight draw to go along with his overcard, but the 6♦ turn and 9♣ river were no help as he left the table.

Guillaume Tricoire was all in preflop with Denis Malyshev making the call to put him at risk.
Guillaume Tricoire: A♠A♣
Denis Malyshev: J♣J♦
Tricoire was ahead with his aces and had to fade a jack to stay alive. The runout of 8♦3♥4♦2♣K♣ was enough to help Tricoire double up.

Around 26,000 was in the middle on a flop of J♣4♣7♠ in a hand between Shenghe Yang and Ronit Chamani.
Yang went for a big size, firing out a bet of 20,000. Chamani looked at him suspiciously and made the call.
On the 4♦ turn, Yang continued with the aggression, sliding out a bet of 40,000. After some thought, Chamani folded, somewhat reluctantly, requesting her opponent "Tell me your secrets!"

Three players saw a flop of K♦6♠2♦ when Sergio Collado bet from the button. The action folded to Jose Peris Ania from under the gun who raised to 17,500. Collado responded with a three-bet jam for 38,000 and Ania quickly called.
Sergio Collado: 6♥6♦
Jose Peris Ania: A♦J♦
Collado had flopped a set against the flush draw of Ania. The flush completed immediately on the 8♦ turn as Ania vaulted into the lead. Collado needed the board to pair and it did just that as the river brought the K♥ and Collado's full house was good to collect a nice pot as he survived.

Bart Lybaert raised to 6,000 from the cutoff. Katie Lindsay three-bet to 16,000 from the button and Luka Bojavic four-bet shoved for 34,000 from the small blind. Lybaert got out the way but Lindsay reluctantly made the call.
Luka Bojavic: J♥J♠
Katie Lindsay: K♦10♦
Bojavic was ahead with his jacks, but the flop of K♥5♠2♣ propelled Lindsay into the lead with a pair of kings. The 3♣ turn and 7♠ river didn't improve Bojavic, and he was sent to the rail at the hands of Lindsay.

While EPT Cyprus Main Event winner [Removed:553] was eliminated earlier, the runner-up from that tournament, Andrea Dato, is still in contention. He opened to 6,000 from under the gun and saw Naim Amri defend his big blind.
Amri check-called for 3,500 on the A♣2♠2♦ flop before the 7♦ turn checked through to the 4♠ river. Amri led out for 5,000 and then Dato made it 16,000. Amri thought briefly and called, leaving himself 11,500. Dato tabled A♠Q♥ and Amri mucked his hand.
On the next deal, Joshua Stewart limped in from the cutoff and called when Amri moved all in.
Naim Amri: 9♦8♦
Joshua Stewart: A♥6♥
Stewart paired up on the A♣K♣2♥ flop to become an even bigger favorite. The 9♠ turn gave Amri some hope but the 5♠ river confirmed his exit instead.

Paul Leckey opened to 5,000 in early position and was faced with a three-bet jam by Lorenc Boci in the small blind to 39,500.
Eirik Lund Presterud was in the big blind and moved all in with a stack covering both players. Leckey thought things through momentarily, before moving his stack totaling around 60,000 into the middle.
Lorenc Boci: Q♥Q♠
Paul Leckey: K♣K♠
Eirik Lund Presterud: A♣K♦
Leckey was in great shape with his pocket kings, while Boci looked pretty disgusted with the spot he found himself in.
The 7♦5♥4♦ flop didn't alter matters, but the 6♦ turn gave Lund Presterud the diamond draw and also brought chop possibilities to reduce Leckey's equity.
As the players waited for the river, Lund Presterud rubbed his king of diamonds, almost pointing out to his opponents that he'd picked up the draw.
The A♠ then rolled off on the river, sending Lund Presterud the pot with his pair of aces and sending his two unfortunate opponents to the exit.

Mario Trattou opened 7,000 under the gun and Ridvan Kilincaslan shoved his last 17,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Trattou who quickly made the call.
Ridvan Kilincaslan: Q♦8♦
Mario Trattou: K♦Q♣
Kilincaslan was dominated and the A♣7♣4♠ flop gave him little hope. The 2♥ on the turn prompted him to stand up, saying, "Good luck, everyone." However, the 8♣ river was exactly what he needed, pairing his eight to score the double.
