World Poker Tour champ Jonathan Roy just became the second player eliminated from the EPT12 Malta Main Event.

According to Niall Farrell, who did the deed, it happened when Roy opened for 450 from early position and he looked him up with the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} from the button. The {8-}{3-}{2-} rainbow flop saw Roy continue for 525, Farrell call, and the dealer burn and turn the {5-Diamonds}.

Roy checked, Farrell bet 750 with the wheel, and his Canadian opponent check-raised to 3,200. Farrell just flatted and the harmless {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Roy bet a hefty 10,200, and Farrell, holding the nuts, moved all in.

Roy hit the tank for a bit, but eventually called off holding {5-}{5-} for a losing set.
