Liv Boeree's run at another EPT Sanremo title has come to an end.
In what would be her last hand, Mike Watson opened for 10,000 from the cutoff and the small blind called. Boeree then shipped all in from the big for 92,000, Watson moved all in over the top, and the small blind folded.
Showdown
Watson:
Boeree:
It was a flip, but one that Boeree would not win as the board ran out dry and Watson's seven held up.

There will be no major back to back major final tables for Chris Brammer. Another cash is not to be sniffed at though. He shoved his last eight big blinds with ace-five from under the gun and was called by Adrian Veghinas with pocket jacks. The jacks held up.
Moments later, on a nearby table, the action folded around to Michele Gaudiano in the small blind and he shoved for his last ten big blinds. Erion Islamay was in the big blind and made the call.
"Now we play!" one of the remaining players said just after the money bubble burst and play had resumed. All-ins and calls started coming from tables all around the room and players started busting out and going straight to the cashout windows. One of such players was Kamal Choraria who shoved for around 160,000 after Ben Vinson bet 26,000 before the flop.
Vinson called and flipped . Choraria showed , but was immediately crushed when the dealer opened {Kd } on the flop pairing Vinson's king. The on the turn and on the river didn't help Choraria and he left the table.
We caught up to find Alessandro Longobardi put all of his stack in the middle for about 44,500 more on top of a raise by Justin Bonomo. Bonomo called to find that he was quite behind.

Guillaume Rivet raised to 10,000 from early position and it folded around to Torsten Brinkmann who moved all in for 67,500. Action went back to Rivet and he called.

Brinkmann:
Rivet took the lead with a pair of aces on the flop. The hit fourth street and the on fifth, securing Brinkmann's elimination from the tournament.
By scoring this knockout Rivet has boosted his stack to 180,000.
Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker was eliminated in 116th place, and while we didn't catch his elimination hand as it happened, Shaun Deeb was kind enough to fill us in on the details surrounding the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event Champ's demise.
According to Deeb, action folded to Moneymaker in the hijack and he moved all in for 42,500. Three folds put action on Alexander Ni in the big blind, and he made the call to put the poker icon at risk.
