2010 PokerStars EPT Vilamoura
After two levels of little cards and little luck, Michal Karolak finally found a hand to move all-in with, he pushed in with
and Tom Johansen made the call with
. The latter spiked two jacks on the flop and Karolak was done for, unable to hit running cards for a straight or catch two aces.
It's really not been Brandon Cantu's level - he's dropped from the giddy heights of chip leader down to the realm of mere mortals and just took another large hit as Hungarian Martin Czuczor got a full double up winning a big preflop race. Czuczor's 
were up against Cantu's 
. Cantu spiked the Queen on the
flop, but when the
showed up on the turn he couldn't help a little twitch of frustration and a sotto voce 'Jesus Christ!' The
river didn't add anything but salt into the wound.
175k x 2 for Czuczor while Cantu drops to around 340k.
Tough break for button-raiser Henrique Custodio now, as he finds himself a great hand and a trip to the rail. He made it 13,500 to go when it folded to him, and he waited while Joaquin Culebras slowly moved in preflop. He snapped, as you do with 
and you've been active on the button - but he was up against Culebras' 
. The board brought no surprises and Custodio has to go collect his prize of €7,822 for making it into this payout bracket.
"Unlucky," sympathised Thorson, and you have to agree it was.
Team PokerStars Pro and possessor of one of the shiniest heads and some of the shiniest sunglasses in the room Marcin Horecki is up to around 300,000 after knocking out Thorsten Schafer. We didn't see the action, but it was blind on blind so we are hazarding a guess that Horecki shoved and the short-stacked Schafer called all in.
Horecki: 

Schafer: 

Board: 




Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly opened up to 15,000 from middle position before Boyan Bonev 3-bet to 41,500 from the small blind. Sizing up his stack, Kelly made the call to see a
flop that both players checked.
Bonev then fired 48,500 on the
which Kelly called before the Bulgarian bet 68,500 with just 60,000 behind on the
river. Kelly waited about a minute before moving all-in and Bonev immediately looked as though he hated life and everything around him in the world. He took just one more minute himself before folding.
Kelly now has 650,000.
We saw it on Day One with that ridiculous raising war with James Dempsey when he had a set, we saw it when he busted Coimbra, and now he's taken out Andras Nemeth with another big hand. To be fair, when he raised preflop and Nemeth threebet him, it was with 
. Lewis sat quietly for half a minute before announcing, "All in," and getting an instant, "I call." Lewis, however, held 
and watched while nothing on the 



board upset them, shook his opponent's hand and stacked his extra 150k.
Poor old Frank Calo.
First Evgeniy Zaytsev shoves for 61,000 UTG and Calo made a good call with
against Zaytsev's
and then hit an even better
flop before a not so good
turn or indeed
river.
Then William Thorson pushed all-in for 27,000 with
and Calo called with
but the board came
and Thorson doubled up to 60,000. Calo dropped to around 150,000.
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.
