Three players put in 11,000 apiece preflop and saw 
hit the felt. Small blind Adrien Allain checked, as did the big blind and cutoff Vladimir Troyanovskiy. Everyone also declined chances to bet on the 
turn and 
river, and the big blind announced ace-king hopefully. It wasn't good, since Allain held 
for the flopped overpair, and Troyanovskiy silently mucked to send the pot to the 2016 EPT Grand Final runner-up.
After a raise by Akin Tuna and a call by Dejuante Alexander, Jack Salter three-bet to 4,500 on the button. Both Tuna and Alexander called and the flop came 
. The action checked to Salter and he continued for 4,800, only Tuna called.
The 
came on the turn and Tuna checked. Salter shoved for 23,600 and Tuna spent almost five minutes in the think tank before calling.
Jack Salter: 
Akin Tuna: 
The 
on the river was a blank and the entire table applauded to the big hero call by Tuna, who knocked out Salter.
Louis Linard called a three-bet by Nikolaos Iliakis and then faced a bet worth 1,500 on the 
flop. Linard called on the button and the 
fell on the turn. Iliakis checked, Linard bet 2,500 and received the call.
After the river, Iliakis checked and Linard bet 5,000. Iliakis check-raised to 15,000 and was eventually called by the Frenchman to turn over 
for a full house. "Well done," Martin Kabrhel said and then asked "where are you from Sir?" Iliakis replied with a simple "Europe" and stacked the profit.
A look at the last EPT Player Party.
A raising war broke out between Francisco Arce and Vlad Darie with the former ending up all in for his last 9,225 out of the small blind. Darie called and turned over 
only for the Spaniard to flip over 
.
The board ran out 
and Darie lost about one third of his stack.
Jerry Wong was in the cutoff, and the November Niner bet 1,700 on a 
flop against his lone opponent, who was on the button. That player called, and Wong checked to him on the turn. Wong's opponent bet 3,500 and Wong called. Wong checked the river and saw his opponent jam for right around 9,000. Wong thought a bit and called, only to be shown for a straight.
Despite the setback, Wong is still above the starting stack.
Down to just 6,925, [Removed:522] was all in and at risk with the Q♥J♥ and initial raiser Georgy Komarov quickly called with the A♦Q♦. The flop of J♦10♣9♦ improved [Removed:522] to a pair of jacks, but Komarov had a flush draw.
It was all over on the K♦ turn, and Komarov even asked the dealer for the 10♦ to make a royal flush despite having his opponent drawing dead already. The wish wasn't granted, as the J♠ showed up on the river. [Removed:522] barely saw that, as he had grabbed his belongings and was on the way out.
On a board of 
, one player was all in from early position and Thomas Muehloecker bet 8,600 from middle position into a dry side pot. A player on the button called, and the river was a 
. Muehloecker checked, and after thinking a few minutes, his opponent checked back.
The all-in player showed 
but Muehloecker had that beat with . The last player flipped what looked like 
for a monstrous airballed draw.
Muehloecker looks to be the chip leader as players head to dinner.
