It's Aidonopoulos' Day

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ismail Erkenov open-shoved for roughly 30,000 in early position, Gregor Daniel re-shipped for 180,000 on the button, and Theodoros Aidonopoulos snap-called in the big blind, having both players covered.

Erkenov: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Daniel: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Aidonopoulos: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The aces held as the board came {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Aidonopoulos recorded a double knockout.

"I guess it's my day," the Greek player said with a smile.

Kitty Has Nine Lives

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Kitty Kuo was all in and at risk before the flop holding {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Unfortunately for Kuo, she was crushed by Oliver Langner's {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

The flop brought down {3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Kuo was still mining for an eight to stay alive. She caught exactly that when the {8-Clubs} fell down on fourth street.

"Nice catch!" someone chimed in from across the table. Langer, on the other hand, buried his head in his hands.

The {9-Diamonds} finished off the board and Kuo was able to double up to about 140,000.

Double Dash For Ardon

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Martijn Ardon was just all in for 77,500 and waiting for Aliev Dashgyn to make his decision. Ardon had moved all in from the cutoff and Dashgyn took about two minutes before making the call from the big blind.

Aliev Dashgyn: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Ardon doubled up to a very reasonable stack.

Do Yo Thang

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Lijo Lander, who sat out during the bubble, not wanting to risk his 50,000-chip stack, moved all in on a flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} with {q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. He was called by Thang Duc Nguyen, who held {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the second-nut flush, and Nguyen held as the turn and river came {10-Spades}, {k-Spades} respectively.

Lander hit the rail, while the first-ever EPT Baden winner now sits with 315,000 chips.
