Just When You Think You Have Seen It All
When you consider that you are 11 places away from being crowned the EPT Grand Final Champion and collecting €1,600,000 in prize money, you wouldn't think you would see this.
Alex Mostafavi raised from under the gun when he made it a whopping 185,000 to play. The action folded around to Lucille Cailly on the button and she was completely flummoxed. After a long hard think she decided to make the call and the pair shared a flop.
Flop:
"I am all-in," said Mostofavi before the last card had even settled.
Cailly's head dropped into her arms and she looked distraught. Meanwhile Mostofavi just started reading his book; the calmest man in the building. After a while Mostofavi turned around to Cailly and said, "You are a great player and I would dearly love to see you with me on the final table."
With that Cailly folded and Mostafavi showed her pocket Kings, which produced a sigh of relief because Cailly had folded pocket jacks.
Andoni Larrabe Eliminated in 11th Place (€70,000)
The TV table claims another victim, and this time it was Andoni Larrabe.
He open shoved with and was called by Sergio Castelluccio with . A six appeared on the flop and that was that for Larrabe.

Vadzim Markushevski Eliminated in 10th Place (€95,000)
Vadzim Markushevski busted in very similar way to Andoni Larrabe, but because his exit was 30 seconds after Larrabe's, he made an extra €15,000.
Rodrigo Caprioli opened to 110,000 from under the gun and tank-called after Markushevski shoved for 850,000 from the small blind.
Markushevski:
Caprioli:
The board ran to make Caprioli two-pair.
We're down to nine players who will all reconvene on the TV table until we lose one more player. The new draw and chip counts will be coming up after a short break.
