After 12 levels of 75 minutes each, the 468-entry strong field of the 2016 PokerStars.com EPT13 Malta Main Event has been whittled down to just 111 hopefuls and 87 of them will take home at least €8,070.

The Frenchman knocked out Pasi Sormunen in a big pot and ran up his stack further after that, second in chips currently is fellow Frenchman Guillaume Valle with 380,000.
Start-of-the-day chip leader Andras Nemeth was also sent to the rail in level 12, first Pawel Brzeski doubled through him and then Nemeth sent the remainder of the stack over to Eugene Katchalov. Sarah Herzali's rise to the top came also from a double elimination and she ended the level with around 335,000, closely followed by Piotr Franczak (331,000), Davidi Kitai (330,000), Dominik Panka (330,000) , Louis Cartarius (320,000) and Yurasov with 315,000.

Start-of-the-day chip leader Andras Nemeth has just been eliminated from this EPT Main Event. First, he lost almost all of his stack to qualifier Pawel Brzeski. An orbit later his last chips went Eugene Katchalov's way.

Sergeev folded but Brzeski four-bet to 42,000. Nemeth gave it some thought, then five-bet all in for 123,500 effectively. Brzeski call after a few seconds.
Andras Nemeth: 
Pawel Brzeski: 
Brzeski was at risk but he was ahead with his jacks. Nemeth needed to hit to score to knock-out. The 
flop didn't provide him any help.
He got some extra outs with the 
on the turn but the 
couldn't help him.
Nemeth had only 12,000 left after that hand. He got some more by shoving all in once when he didn't get any callers.
The second time he moved all in ended his tournament.
He called a 4,500 opeining raise from Eugene Katchalov and shoved all in on the 
flop. Katchalov called, holding and Nemeth was in front with 
.
However, the turn was the and Nemeth was on the brink of elimination. The 
on the river couldn't save him and he was done for this event.
