You could tell by Chris Brammer's face that it was just one of those days at the office. He came in third in chips and busted 33rd.
The in-form Brit's final scene saw him four-bet all in from the button after Sergio Aido Espina had opened from under the gun whilst the table was short-handed. Espina snapped off the raise.

We are down to under 35 players here at EPT Prague so it is looking to be a fast day!
Martin Hanowski opened to 25,000 in early position, Enrico Tau three-bet to what looked like 68,000 on his direct left, and the action folded to Glen Cymbaluk, who moved all in for 211,000 from the small blind.
"Let's see if they changed to aces," Hanowski joked, looking at his hand one last time before folding.
Tau examined Cymbaluk's stack, then called.
Tau: 
Cymbaluk: 
There was a queen in the window of the 
flop, and a second queen - the 
- fell on the turn. Only one of the two remaining jacks in the deck would save Cymbaluk on the river, and it wasn't to be as the 
completed the board.
The Canadian Cowboy is eliminated, while Tau, who started the day with just over six big blinds, now has 680,000 chips.

It's been a heck of a level for Mariusz Klosinski, who started Level 21 with 300K. He's now got 1.3 million! Shortly after doubling through Marian Kulifaj and then eliminating him, Klosinski has scored two more eliminations.
It happened when action folded to Rami Hajiyev in the cutoff and he moved all in for 175,000. Dominik Paus then moved all in over the top for 441,000 from the button, and Klosinski, who had them both covered, unexpectedly moved all in from the small blind. The big blind folded and the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Klosinski: 
Paus: 
Hajiyev: 
Paus seemed to be shell shocked while Hajiyev seemed resigned to his fate. All three players were on their feet as the put down the 
flop. Klosinski hit his set to to essentially lock up the hand, and after the 
was put out on the turn followed by the 
on the river, both Hajiyev and Paus were escorted to the payout desk.

Breaking into seven figures doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win the tournament. But as players bagged up last night, there was a race to be in the select group that had more than a million in chips. Jeff Sarwer came up short; Sotirios Koutoupas was the right side.

respectively.
A few hands later, the roles were reversed, and Kulifaj was all in and at risk preflop against Klosinski.
Klosinski:
Kulifaj: 
The flop was an interesting one, and while the on the turn gave Klosinski a pair, he could still win with any club, or king.
The on the turn did not improve his hand enough however, and he was eliminated.
