Domantas Klimciauskas tried to get rid of Alessandro Tomasin on the river of a 
board with a bet of 85,000 (having also led the turn and been called) but Tomasin was reluctant to fold his 
, called and took the pot from Klimciauskas with his busted flush draw 
.
Pedro Javier Piazuelo Ferrero is out, in painful circumstances - another river and another two outer after a hope-giving turn: his 
in good shape preflop against 
.

...River: (we've sort of given the game away here):
He took his polite but slightly crestfallen leave and collects €35,000 for his efforts.
Victor Ramdin raised to 26,000 and Ankush Mandavia shoved from the button. In the small blind, Joao Studart reshoved. Ramdin ducked out of their way and they were conflipping.
Mandavia: 
Studart:
Board: 
Mandavia more than doubled to 525,000 - not far off the average stack. Studart looked terribly unhappy about it and no wonder - he's been crippled to just 150,000.
Kjartan Berger Jonsson opened to 25,000 and Simon Higgins called behind to see a 
flop. Jonsson bet out 37,000 and Higgins raised; we don't know how much the raise was, as before we could work it out Jonsson had gone all in and Higgins had called.
Higgins: turned over 
to cries of "OMG!" and the like around the table.
Jonsson: said, "I don't believe it," and turned over for the flush draw.
Turn: giving Jonsson some extra outs.
River: not one of those outs, but the .
Jonsson busted out and Higgins, already the chip leader before the hand, is now way out in front on 2.6 million. He turned to the dealer. "So would you like a chocolate cake, or...?"
Across the table Ankush Mandavia was unimpressed. "That's it?"

To coincide with the table break and new TV lineup-creation, we're having our end-of-level 15 minutes now. Back to finish this one and move straight on up.
Jose Nadal had Litterio Pirrotta standing up, all-in, on the turn and ready to leave before a river two-outer saved the Italian's bacon... The hand that launched a million chips was 
for Pirrotta in the cutoff, and for Nadal on the button. The board ran out 
... giving Pirrotta a new lease of life and seven figure stack and dropping Nadal to 450,000.
Up on the feature table, EPT Deauville champion Lucien Cohen was all in against Andrew Li. The giant plastic rat was out, Cohen stroking it and looking very confident indeed. And no wonder.
Cohen: 
Li:
But come the river, Cohen was looking altogether less happy.
Board: 
The rat couldn't save Cohen from Li's rivered straight and he duly busted out. Cohen was our last remaining former EPT winner, meaning that we will be crowning a brand new champion here this week.
Sarah Grant talked to Andrew Li about this hand and about his day thus far.
It's been a roller coaster of a level for Vasily Fursov. After his double up with 
immediately upon returning from dinner, he seemed to have amassed even more chips and was briefly in OK shape. But when we arrived, he was looking at a 
board, around 150,000 already in the pot. Juan Maceiras had checked and Fursov had bet 50,000, but Maceiras then check-raised to cover him. Eventually he folded. Down to 160,000.
A few minutes later and Eugene Katchalov raised to 25,000. Philippe Boucher called behind, and Fursov shoved. Katchalov reshoved, Boucher folded, and they were on their backs.
Katchalov: 
Fursov:
Board: 
Another double up for Fursov. He's on around 330,000 for now. Katchalov is down to 230,000.
