Last year's Grand Final winner and PokerStars Qualifer Nicolas Chouity has bubbled EPT San Remo after getting in big battle preflop with the very aggressive Alessandro Fasolis who had initially raised on the button. It looked as though Chouity had 3-bet and then shoved over Fasolis' 4-bet for a pot approaching the 500,000 mark with the Italian making the call.

Chouity: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Fasolis: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The Vandersmissen hand over, the players and media flocked across to this table as Thomas Kremser announced that Chouity needed to catch a ten or he would be out on the bubble. The flop came {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} bring no help to either player though someone jokingly shouted "Seven!" which brought a few cackles. The {K-Hearts} turn changed nothing, Chouity down to just one of his two outs on the river but the {7-Spades} came instead and the Lebanese player was eliminated to the sound of a round of applause and cheering.
