Most of the remaining players had gone on break but two remained behind, battling their blinds. The battle ended with the elimination of our final remaining former EPT champion, David Vamplew.
The action folded around to the Scot in the small blind and he raised to 47,000. Olivier Busquet peeled to see an flop where he called a 50,000 c-bet.
The turn came and Vamplew fired again, for 115,000. Busquet pondered, as he likes to do, before he announced he was all-in for 525,000. Vamplew looked pained, took some time himself, and called all-in for 490,000 with for a turned top pair.
