The last remaining Team PokerStars Pro, Alex Kravchenko, has been eliminated from the tournament.
Koen De Visscher opened with a raise to 40,000 and then quickly called as Kravchenko three-bet all for just over 200,000.
De Visscher:
Kravchenko:
The final board read and with it Kravchenko was eliminated, his 16th place finish his best on the European Poker Tour.
Chip leader Kevin Vandersmissen has just pulled off a stunning bluff over on Table 2, though one that was almost called by Martins Adeniya.
Vandersmissen opened with a min-raise to 40,000 (UTG+1) and Adeniya made the call in the big blind. The flop came down a very draw heavy , Adeniya checked and then called when Vandersmissen made a continuation bet of 43,000.
The dealer put the out on the turn and once again Adeniya checked. Vandersmissen was not in the mood for slowing down and he promptly bet 94,000. Adeniya made the call, though he took much longer to do so.
The final card was the and again Adeniya checked. Vandersmissen then bet 195,000 chips , which sent Adeniya into the tank. He stayed here for two to three minutes, his face looking extremely anguished, counting out the required chips. Finally though he folded, though he looked pained to do so.
Vandersmissen then showed for a complete bluff, which prompted a smile from Adeniya but I do not think he would have been laughing on the inside.
Overnight chip leader fallen on hard times Giacomo Maisto checked the flop to Andreas Wiese, who bet 85,000. Maisto now check-raised to 200,000, and after a call from Wiese, they saw the turn.
Said turn card was the and Maisto now shoved for 403,000. There was a lengthy dwell-up from Wiese (being carefully monitored, we suspect by Karen Sarkisyan at the other table; more on that to follow), but eventually he folded, giving Maisto the pot. Maisto showed .

Perma-short stacked Karen Sarkisyan opened to 50,000 in the hijack with just 207,000 behind, and it folded to Kevin Vandersmissen in the small blind who reraised to 140,000. Sarkisyan now tanked up - on the other table, Giaocomo Maisto had announced all in and was waiting for Andreas Wiese to act. And fair enough - there's a more than €2,500 difference between 15th and 14th places. Eventually Wiese folded, and a moment later Sarkisyan had gone all in. Vandersmissen called, and they were on their backs.
Sarkisyan:
Vandersmissen:
Flop: putting Vandersmissen in the lead.
Turn: maintaining the status quo.
River: sending Sarkisyan lurching to the win with a full double up to around 550,000. Vandersmissen's über-stack was barely dented.
Pierre Neuville opened preflop to 43,000, Manilo Iemina calling on the button and Karen Sarkisyan made the call in the big blind.
All three players checked the flop before Sarkisyan fired out 110,000 on the turn, Neuville and Iemina quickly folding.
Philip Meulyzer opened to 45,000 prefop and Kevin Vandermissen was the only caller on the button.
Both players checked the flop but then Meulyzer also checked the turn and Vandermissen fired out 53,000. That was enough to secure another pot for the chip leader.
Martin Adeniya's hopes of an EPT title lay in tatters as he was just eliminated in 15th place.
Philip Meulyzer had raised first in on the button and Adeniya made the call from the big blind. The flop came down and Adeniya bet 51,000 causing Meulyzer to lean forward to get full view of his opponent's chips. He must have liked what he saw because he made the call.
The turn saw the make an appearance and both players checked. The river was the and Adeniya made a very small bet of just 25,000. Meulyzer then moved all in and Adeniya quickly made the call.
Adeniya: for top pair
Meulyzer: for the straight
Meulyzer now sits behind a pile of chips that add up to 1,400,000
