Evgeniy Zaytsev and the eye in the sky
Evgeniy Zaytsev busts in 39th place just when it seemed he was primed for a double through. Michal Karolak had opened for 15k, and button Zaytsev moved in preflop for 140,500 total. No one else was interested but Karolak gave him a spin with - dominated, as it turned out, by Zaytsev's .

Out he went with barely a flicker of disappointment, but that can't have been painless.
Robert Willis opened to 17,500 from early position before William Thorson reraised to 33,500 with just 20,000 behind him. Teddy Sheringham thought about getting involved next to them but folded before it was passed back to Willis who set the Swede all-in.
Willis:
Thorson:
Thorson was all ready to pack up and head to the cashier but the board came . Willis took a small hit to his meaty stack but Thorson doubled up to 110,000, still short but at least he relax a little.
Konsta Vesterinen opened for 14,000 and when David Metelo moved all in, it folded back around to Vesterinen who announced, "I've got to call," and then did just that.
Vesterinen:
Metelo:
Board:
Vesterinen's flopped full house was pretty decisive, and Metelo hit the rail. Vesterinen moved up to 290,000.
Marcin Horecki open-shoved in the hijack and Guillermo Garcia on the button paused for just a moment before calling. Both blinds folded, and they were on their backs.
Horecki:
Garcia:
Board:
Horecki made a noise like air coming out of a tire when he paired his queen on the turn, and then announced, "Phew," as he doubled up to around 180,000. Garcia was left with a not-very-healthy 130,000.
Konsta Vesterinen and Brandon Cantu got into a raising war preflop, Cantu had been knocked down to just 196,000 and had got his stack in with against Vesterinen's .
The flop was giving Cantu an straight flush draw and although he briefly looked worried at the turn, he soon realised Vesterinen was drawing dead before the was even dealt. Cantu mentioned something about having a meltdown and seemed more relieved than anything to see his stack rebuilt up to 400,000.
The last EPT winner standing, Rob Hollink of Holland, just won a 385k pot from Marcin Horecki. It started quietly, threeway to a flop with not a lot in the middle. Mid position Hollink led for 20k, and Horecki raised to 61k. The small blind immediately left the action and Hollink then moved in. 130k more to Horecki, who gave it a slight pause before committing two thirds of his own remaining chips.
Horecki: for the nut flush draw
Hollink: for the flopped set.
The turn and river came giving Hollink a new lease of life and dropping the Polish Team PokerStars Pro to just 80k.
