Yurasov:
Agerskov was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The flop wasn't helpful, though the turn was as he picked up a gutshot straight draw and flush draw. Unfortunately for him, he'd miss his plethora of outs when the blanked on the river.
Agerskov will take home €91,150 for his efforts. Not too shabby considering he began the day as the second-shortest stack.
Benny Spindler, who won the EPT London Main Event back in 2011, began the day second in chips, but he was never able to get anything going at the final table. He watched his chips dwindle, until he made a stand against Vitaly Lunkin.

Spindler:
Spindler's face seemed to indicate that he was thinking, "That's just my luck."
He then began to rise as the dealer put out the flop. Neither the turn nor river helped Spindler, and he had to settle for seventh place and €66,350.

Once again Yurasov was looking for an ace to eliminate Okhotskyi, and once again he'd come up empty as the board ran out .
Dmitry Yurasov opened from the button for a bet of 50,000 and when Vitaly Lunkin folded the small blind Benny Spindler opted to three-bet the open to 140,000.
