Daniel Di Pasquale Eliminated by Guillaume Darcourt

We joined the action with Daniel Di Pasquale all-in and Guillaume Darcourt with the decision to call or fold.

Darcourt{10-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Di Pasquale{A-Spades} {K-Spades}

Darcourt got to his feet and stood behind the dealer and he was devastated when he saw her handy work.

Flop: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Di Pasquale had flopped the stone cold nuts, but Darcourt still had outs.

Turn: {J-Clubs}

Darcourt punched the air in delight.

River: {Q-Spades}

Darcourt gathers in his stack and mouths the words, "Thank you." to the dealer.

Charania and Obrestad in a Pot

Annette Obrestad raised to 5,000 in early position and Mohsin Charania defended his big blind. The flop was {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} and Charania check-called a 7,000 Obrestad bet. On the turn the pair saw the {2-Diamonds} and the same action ensued, this time for 16,000. The river was checked by both parties and Obrestad won the hand at showdown.

Obrestad{10-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
Charania{A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Brammer With a Tiny Pair

Bryan Piccioli raised to 5,600, under the gun, Bruno Fitoussi called in mid-position as did Chris Brammer in the big blind. The flop was {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Brammer checked, Picciloli bet 7,800, Fitoussi folded and Brammer called. That was the end of the action as the turn {2-Diamonds} and river {4-Clubs} were checked through and Brammer picked up the pot with a pair of treys. Piccioli mucked his hand.

Our tournament director Toby Stone has confirmed this will be the last level of the day. It will take place without Jason Mercier. He Tweeted the following:

"Busto.. AQ < 99. Guy sighed when I tabled AQ and then rolled over the 9s. Guess he didn't want it to be a flip. O well. Gg #ontothenextone."

Martin, It is Enough!

EPT Barcelona champion Martin Schleich won't be making history here after he was eliminated by Geert-Jan Potijk in very big pot.

Potijk raised his button and called from the small blind to see a {7-}{5-}{2-} flop that contained two diamonds. They checked the action to the {10-} turn where Schleich led for 8,000 and called when his Dutch opponent raised to 28,000.

The river came as {2-} and Schleich checked to face a huge over-bet shove from Potijk. The German called all-in with {k-}{10-} but lost out to Potijk's {10-}{2-} for trips.
