Robert Cezarescu - 13th Place
Stephane Albertini raised to 90,000 first into the pot, and Robert Cezarescu moved all in for 258,000. Albertini asked for a full count before making the call with a good price and the covering stack.
Showdown
Albertini:
Cezarescu:
The appeared right in the window, and the rest of the community cards would not be kind to Cezarescu. In the end, the board of will be the last of his day. He's knocked off in 13th place, taking home €28,000 for his work over the past few days.
The EPT Live commentators said it best: "There has been no mercy for the all-in players today."

Martin Staszko was moved to the featured table in order to balance the field, and he open-shoved for about 450,000 on his very first hand. It got through, and he's added a round's worth of blinds and antes to his stack.

Things were getting a little slow on the outer table. Michael Fratty was checking is twitter. Alexia Portal's eyes are starting to glaze over. Then all of a sudden, big time action.
Teodor Caraba raised, and only Mike McDonald took him up on it.
Flop: - Caraba c-bet for 160k, and Timex called.
Turn: - Buckle your seat belts. Caraba carefully counts out 380,000, all in red chips. Alexia Portal, sitting next to McDonald, stares directly at his face 8 inches away while he thinks.
He makes it 880,000 total. And Caraba calls! Crowd suddenly gets very interested. The hives we always see on McDonald's neck when he's got a lot of chips on the line come out in full force.
River: - Quick check from Caraba, slower check from Timex. And a good decision, too. Caraba shows for Broadway (aka the nuts.)

Freddy Deeb - 12th Place
With a paltry 293,000 chips left in his stack, Freddy Deeb looked down at and shipped them in there. Stephane Albertini squeezed out , and he made the call with the big stack. Deeb was racing for double or nothing, and he seemed optimistic.
Unfortunately for the gregarious pro, the board would blank off: . Unable to improve his overcards, Deeb has been eliminated, once again just a few spots shy of making an EPT final table. He'll take a pay bump up to €35,000 for his efforts this week.

Teodor Caraba raised in the cutoff and Michael Fratty flatted on the button to see a flop. Peter Eastgate started to eat a sandwich.
Caraba bet out 130,000, and Fratty dwelled up for a long time - long enough for Eastgate to finish the first triangle of his sandwich and move on to the second. Then he raised to 400,000.
Back to Caraba, who made it 930,000. Fratty dwelled up again. Eastgate finished his sandwich and stretched. Fratty passed and the pot went to Caraba.

Martin Staszko - 11th Place
For the second consecutive hand, Martin Staszko open-shoved, this time for 460,000 total. His all-in made it through the first time, but not this time. Stephane Albertini peeked at his cards and quickly made the call to put his man at risk. Cards up please:
Staszko:
Albertini:
The flop really changed nothing as the dealer spread out . Fourth street brought a blank , and the river locked up the pot and the knockout for Albertini. With that, Martin Staszko becomes our 11th-place finisher, padding his bank account with €35,000 for cashing deep in his first-ever EPT.

Well, mostly very badly, except for Antony Lellouche.
It seems Lellouche was already chip leader in the high rollers' event when Jon Aguiar shoved preflop with . Lellouche called, as did another player who then proceeded to go all in on the ten-high flop with . Lellouche called that too and his pocket jacks held up.

It's been five in a row raise-and-take-it hands on the outer table. Standard raise is exactly 2.2x, though Jake Cody always likes to add 1 or 2k to his bets and raises just to keep it colorful.

Curious
Both players checked the flop, and they proceeded to the turn. Bergeron bet out 93,000, and after a moment Portal raised to 390,000. Call.
Bergeron checked the river and the action moved to Portal. What happened next confused everyone, as Portal dwelled up for some minutes - and then mucked her hand.
Perhaps she mistakenly thought that Bergeron announced all in, or her hand was so bad she couldn't bear to show it - but either way Portal was swearing under her breath at the end of the hand, having invested over half her stack in it. She's down to 464,000.
