Mickey DoftEric Nhouyvanisvong (next to dealer) Eliminated on the Bubble
Two players have departed after about a 50-minute bubble.
First, Eric Nhouyvanisvong was all in for less than 10,000 from the small blind against Leandre Omeir in the big blind. Nhouyvanisvong was behind with facing the of Omeir. The board ran out , ending Nhouyvanisvong's tournament.
Next up was Ilan Boujenah, all in for about 110,000 after a board with . Sergio Castelluccio looked him up with and held through the river.
It's not a complete loss for both, though, as they will split the 128th place prize of €7,500, receiving €3,750 each.
The Post-bubble time at major tournaments is always fun as those that inched their way into the money suddenly feel the freedom to ship it in with reckless abandon.
We caught a perfect example of the kind of play we're seeing on tables across the room right now when Mark Jansen (), Yoann Amaudry () and Slobodan Bjelobrk () all got it all in.
An ace on the flop was enough to give Jansen the checkmark and while Amaudry was crippled and Bjelobrk busted, he's suddenly back in contention.
As expected the players are being eliminated at an extremely fast pace since the bubble burst. Two of those to go recently included Mikael Johansson and the last lady standing in Lucille Cailly.
Cailly raised with king-queen on the button and called all-in when Sergey Baburin shoved with from the big blind. The Russian found two hearts on the flop, and another on the turn to win the pot.
Moments later Mikael Johansson got his short stack in with after the slightly larger stacked Aleksander Pereworucha raised and called with . The board ran out and Johansson wished everyone luck before joining the growing payout queue.
Once the bubble burst Luca Pagano was guaranteed his record 20th EPT Main Event cash.
What wasn't guaranteed was a deep run, but that appears to be a possibility now.
The Italian Team PokerStars Pro bumped it up to 13,500 pre-flop before Marius Torbergsen three-bet, making it 31k. Pagano took his time, before shipping it in for 154k total and Torbergsen called after a count.

The flop came and after the turn and river, Pagano's stack was twice as big as it once was.
Just as things were starting to get heated up between big stacks Ludovic Lacay and Martins Adeniya, their table has broken.
Lacay is now at a table with WSOP and WPT title holder James Dempsey and online phenom Chris Brammer while Adeniya is sat with Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano.
None of the stacks at either player's new table appear to be a very big threat to their own.
