: 250/500, 50 ante
There's rarely such a thing as an easy table in an EPT Main Event, but there's one out there in the vast tournament area that wouldn't look out of place if it was the final table.
In the corner, you'll find Kevin Killeen, Roberto Romanello, Matthias De Meulder, and Simon Deadman among others. Deadman has just been involved in a hand that started with a 1,200 raise from De Meulder in the hijack, a call from Yoni Eloy in the cutoff and a raise to 4,000 from Deadman on the button. The big blind, Dawid Borkowski, moved all-in for 15,275, which instantly folded out De Meulder and Eloy, but Deadman asked for a count.
After a few moments, Deadman got out of the way and Borkowski reaped in the rewards of his aggression.

: 250/500, 50 ante
Sergio Aido raised from the cutoff — how much we're not sure — and Cheng-Wei Yin defended the big blind to see an 
flop. Yin proceeded to check-call a bet of 500 and then check-called one of 2,500 on the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Yin checked for a third time and Aido slowed down by checking behind.
Yin tabled the 
, and it was good as Aido mucked his hand.

Dermot Blain opened for 1,200 from the cutoff and was met by a three-bet to 2,800 from Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano on the button. Both blinds folded, Blain three-bet big, and Pagano opted to call off for roughly 17,000.
Pagano: 
Blain: 
It was a flip, but Pagano was the one that needed to improve to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the board ran out a clean 
.

Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas made it 1,100 to go from early position, Soren Hansen made it 2,700 a couple of seats along, before Paul Tedeschi four-bet to 7,200. Tamasauskas folded, but Hansen called.
Despite the exciting preflop, the duo checked down the 
board, and Hansen won with 
when Tedeschi mucked.
Tedeschi seemed perplexed at Hansen's preflop call and turned around to chat to his fellow Frenchman, Adrien Allain, about the hand.

: 250/500, 50 ante
After a player in early position raised to 1,100, Gaspare Nastasi three-bet all in for 12,550 from the cutoff. Thomas Popov then four-bet all in from the big blind for 21,000, and the original raiser folded.
Nastasi:
Popov: 
The 
flop gave both players a set, but of course Nastasi's was best. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed anything, and Nastasi shipped the double while Popov was left with just 9,000.

: 250/500, 50 ante
Vladimir Novitckii is up to 74,000 after catching an ace on the turn in a pot with Wael Sarkis.
A raising war broke out that resulted in Novitckii push all-in for around 30,000, a bet that sent Sarkis into the tank for more than two minutes. He eventually emerged with a call, turning over a he did so. Novitckii showed 
and looked in bad shape on the 
flop. However, the turn changed his fortunes, and when the landed on the turn, Novitckii's double was complete.
