The EPT Grand Final is a two table affair after Jesse Martin was eliminated by Vadzim Markushevski.
Clayton Mozdzen opened to 65,000 and Markushevski flat called from the cut-off before Martin moved all-in for 720,000 from the button. Mozdzen folded but Markushevski had slow played a monster and snapped.

Gurtovoy's aces stand strong and within two hands he has moved into serious contention.
Anatoly Gurtovoy couldn't bear to watch as the board was rolled out by the dealer. He was all-in for his last 434,000 and it great shape, but it was all still to much for him.
The pot opened with a raise to 60,000 from Lucille Cailly and a three-bet from Alex Mostafavi in the small blind. Gurtovoy was in the big blind and four-bet shoved. Cailly quickly folded and Mostafavi called just as quick.
