Matt Lapossie - 7th
Matt Lapossie raises to 140,000 from the small blind and Toni Ojala makes it 310,000 from the big blind.

Lapossie thought for a moment before moving all-in and Ojala instantly called.

Lapossie: {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts}
Ojala: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

The board came {6-Spades} {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}-X and Lapossie was gone.

Etiquette Lesson

The live commentary of the EPT is still featuring professional Jason Mercier. Mercier and the other commentators have been reading some emails once in a while from fans of the broadcast.

One of the latest emails discussed the issue of calling the clock and the incident between Marc Goodwin and Santiago Terrazas. The author of the email mentioned that if he knew someone became irritated from having the clock called on them, he or she would call the clock every time in an effort to tilt the player.

Mercier commented in response, "If you called the clock every time, you'd be consider a d******e bag and probably be shot in the parking lot outside."

Closing the Book

For the entire tournament, Marc Goodwin has been reading a book on poker legend Stu Ungar. At the final table though, that book is sitting on the table rail and is closed shut. For now, Goodwin has his concentration focused on the action and task at hand. Finishing the book will just have to wait.

Goodwin Picks One Up

Mihai Manole put in a raise to 125,000 and Marc Goodwin called out of the big blind.

They saw a {3-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} flop and Goodwin checked. Manole dwelled for some moments, and then checked behind.

They moved on to a {6-Diamonds} turn and this time Goodwin bet out 150,000. Manole once again seemed to count to ten in his head, and finally passed.

Laspossie Fighting Back

Butter wouldn't melt
Butter wouldn't melt
Santiago Terrazas raised to a once again unlikely 250,000 or five big blinds, but this time Matt Lapossie reraised to 500,000 -- almost half his stack. Terrazas now dwelled up for some time, while Lapossie maintained an expression of absolute innocence.

Eventually, Terrazas passed. His railers applauded anyway.

No Fold Equity

Santiago Terrazas opened with a raise to 300,000 for nearly half of his stack. Action folded to Matt "Lapozie" Lapossie and he came over the top to put Terrazas all in. Terrazas called all in for 755,000 total with {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Lapossie tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

The Spanish fans rose to their feet, hoping their star would be able to hold on and earn the double up.

The board ran out {J-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and indeed, Terrazas doubled to around 1.6 million chips.
