Lucky Double for Monstad

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

On a board of {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, Kuljinder Sidhu had checked from the big blind. Vebjorn Monstad bet 25,000 and Sidhu now check shoved all in for effectively 90,500. Monstad thought about it for a bit, before he reluctantly made the call.

Kuljinder Sidhu: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Vebjorn Monstad: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Monstad was at risk and needed help to stay alive. The {6-Hearts} on the river resulted in exactly that, as he doubled up with the better two pair.

Williams is New Chip Leader

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

Frank Williams is the new chip leader in the EPT Dublin Main Event after knocking out [Removed:4]. Rudelitz opened and was three-bet from Frank Williams in the hijack. The blinds folded and action was back on Rudelitz who four-bet jammed for roughly 40 big blinds. Williams made the call and his {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} was marginally ahead of his opponent's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The flop came {4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and although the {10-Spades} did open straight opportunities for Rudelitz, the {4-Diamonds} ensured that he left two short of the money.

Margereson Takes from Kan

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

Scott Margereson opened and then called the three-bet to 28,500 by Raiden Kan. On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, Margereson check-called a bet of 30,000 and the duo then checked the {A-Hearts} turn. On the {10-Spades} river, Margereson checked for the third time and Kan was almost willing to bet before checking behind and flashing {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

Margereson flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and took down the pot with aces and queens.

The Dublin Bubble Pops

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sven Magirius bubbles EPT 12 Dublin Main Event 2016
Sven Magirius bubbles EPT 12 Dublin Main Event 2016

Sven Magirius shoved under the gun for 21,000, and when it folded to Alexandre Rivero in the cutoff, he pushed in over the top for 110,000.

The rest of the players folded and once action finished up at all the other tables, the hands were revealed.

Magirius: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Rivero: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

It was a classic race with Magirius' tournament life hanging in the balance and the board rolled out {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, missing Magirius and making him the EPT12 Dublin Main Event bubble boy. His elimination in 88th place means the rest of the field is in now the money and hand-for-hand play is over and done with.

Dubini Busts Purice

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

One time chip leader Tudor Purice's stack melted significantly over the last hour and he then shoved the {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades} turn into a 30,000-bet by Richard Dubini.

The Argentinian called with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Purice was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar, holding only {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

Neither a jack or king but the {10-Diamonds} appeared on the river and that sent Purice to the rail as first player in the money.

Elimination at the Feature Table

Francisco Correia De Oliveira
Francisco Correia De Oliveira

Amidst a flurry of all-ins, Koray Aldemir was all-in and behind holding {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} against the {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} of day 1a chip leader Francisco Oliveira.

The flop wasn't kind to him as it came {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The {a-Hearts} on the turn meant that the German was drawing dead and he made a swift exit from the feature table before the {2-Spades} was dealt on the river. He collects €9,100 as a min cash in the EPT Dublin main Event

From first position, Christoph Vogelsang shoved his last 35,500 in. Action folded around to Bernardo Dias on the button and he shoved over the top for about 115,000.

In the small blind, Bart Lybaert folded his short stack, and action was on Fabrice Halleux in the big blind. He had just 7,000 behind and committed his 12,000 total as well, to make it a three-way showdown:

Christoph Vogelsang: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Fabrice Halleux: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Bernardo Dias: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The board came {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and both Vogelsang and Dias made their exit.
