We've lost our only former European Poker Tour champion still remaining and that paves the way for a brand new champion to take this EPT title.
Joao Barbosa was that last former champion standing and he raised all in for his last 236,000 before being called by Steve O'Dwyer. Barbosa held the best of it with pocket fours, but needed to win a flip against the 
for O'Dwyer.
The flop paired O'Dwyer when the 
fell. The turn 
and river 
didn't land any help from there on out for Barbosa and he was sent to the rail.
The final 16 players are now redrawing to two tables and we're on a 15-minute break.

It's not often we get to witness a pot go five ways to the flop this deep in a tournament, but we just did. From under the gun, Steve O'Dwyer raised to 52,000. In the next seat, Mattias Bergstrom called and then Kevin Iacofano called in the seat next to act. Play then folded a few spots over to Martins Adeniya in the cutoff seat and he called before Ioannis Beris completed the action with a call from the big blind.
The flop came down and action checked all the way around to Adeniya. He bet 100,000 and one by one, each player folded.
