Staszko Sent Off
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Well, we've lost another Czech, another Team PokerStars Pro, and the WSOP Main Event runner-up.
Martin Staszko and Calvin Anderson just tangled up in a big pot that saw Staszko raising and four-betting before flatting a five-bet to see an expensive flop. It came 
, and Staszko shoved his last 75,000 into the pot. Anderson made the call to put almost 300,000 chips in the middle heading to showdown:
Staszko: 
Anderson: 
Anderson went right ahead and binked his flush on the turn, and the 
left Staszko drawing dead. The 
river was meaningless, and that's just about all she wrote.

Just a Few More Shots
As always, with thanks to Neil Stoddart.
Good News Bad News, Ireland
If you're Irish, go ahead and celebrate the fact that your countryman has the chip lead! Then we'll give you the bad news.
Ready?
Dermot Blain has just been eliminated. Blain cashed in 31st place here one year ago, but his effort this time around has come up short.

Cavaller Climbing
From middle position, Filip Verboven raised to 4,200. He was called by Ozcan Barut in the hijack seat, Guillem Cavaller in the cutoff seat, Sergey Prochny in the small blind and finally Haykel Cherif Vidal in the big blind.
With five players in the hand, the pot stood at 23,700 and the dealer ran out the first three community cards. After the 
were placed in the middle of the felt. Action checked to the preflop raiser, Verboven. He fired a continuation bet of 11,600 and Barut called. Cavaller put in a raise to 33,500 and play folded back to Verboven. He took a minute before sliding his cards into the muck and then Barut tanked. Eventually, he folded as well and Cavaller picked up the pot.
Cavaller's up to 365,000 in chips after picking up this pot. Prior to getting moved to this table, Cavaller sent Mustapha Kanit to the rail in a queens-versus-aces situation where all the money went in preflop and Cavaller spiked a queen on the flop.

Ainsworth to the Front!
In a huge preflop pot, Jakub Dobias, Jude Ainsworth, and Mohsin Charania got it all in with Dobias having Ainsworth just barely covered. All the action put a pot of more than a half-million chips up for grabs, and the cards were soon on their backs with two men at risk.
Showdown
Dobias: 
Ainsworth: 
Charania: 
There was no funny stuff on the 
board, and Ainsworth drags the biggest pot of the tournament. Well covered, Charania quickly headed for the rail. When Dobias counted out his debt, he was left with just one single T1,000 chip. He was eliminated on the next hand.

Lechich Goes (Down-)Under
It's always nice to see the Australians turn up at an EPT, but we've unfortunately just bid farewell to one of them, Tino Lechich.
It was Konstantin Puchkov who opened the pot with a raise to 4,400, but he would be forced out on the turn. A gentlemen behind him three-bet to 11,200, and Lechich called all in for his last 9,900. Puchkov called, too, and he called a bet on the 
flop before folding on the 
turn.
Lechich was at risk, but he turned over a not-too-shabby . What looked like a dream flop was a nightmare, though, as his opponent showed up 
to leave him dead to two outs. The river was the 
, and that's all she wrote for Lechich.
