Felipe Ramos Eliminated in 15th Place (€44,430)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Janos Kurtosi - Felipe Ramos
Janos Kurtosi - Felipe Ramos

Janos Kurtosi opened with a min-raise to 100,000 from the button. Felipe Ramos jammed all-in for 495,000. Andrew Hulme folded from the big blind and Kurtosi quickly called to put Ramos' tournament life at risk.

Felipe Ramos: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Janos Kurtosi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Ramos was slightly behind before the flop and was unable to catch up to become the last Team PokerStars Pro to leave the tournament after the board ran out {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Kurtosi's chip stack grew to 3,875,000, while Ramos was eliminated in 15th place for €44,430.

Meanwhile, the last woman in the tournament in Sam Cohen was moved from the outer table to the feature table to balance the tables out at seven players each.

A quick elimination just took place on the feature table. Josip Vidovic went all in for 725,000 from under the gun before Janos Kurtosi reshoved from the hijack for 2,450,000. The rest of the table folded and the players turned over their cards.

Vidovic: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Kurtosi: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to eliminate Vidovic for €34,640, while Kurtosi's stack soared to 3,285,000.

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

After a few smaller pots, Jukka Paloniemi open-shoved for his last 955,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Sam Cohen in the small blind. She reshoved to force a fold from Kiryl Radzivonau in the big blind.

Jukka Paloniemi: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Sam Cohen: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The flop came {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Cohen hit top pair, leaving Paloniemi drawing very thing. On the {J-Spades} turn, the Finn picked up some outs and Cohen asked for the eight of clubs. It was the {6-Hearts} on the river instead and Paloniemi was eliminated in 17th place. The remaining 16 players will now redraw to the last two tables.

Martin Kabrhel Eliminated in 18th Place (€34,630)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Stefan Fabian raised to 100,000 and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff. "Hippo says it's time, I just don't know if call or all in," Kabrhel said followed by plenty of other table talk. "I don't go all in," he followed up with and three-bet to 395,000 with 35,000 behind.

The action folded back to Fabian and he tried to put in a reraise, but only pushed forward 500,000. "That is just a call, right?" Kabrhel inquired and it was indeed just that. Fabian asked for the stack behind and Kabrhel replied "35,000, don't go crazy on the flop."

Somehow, the flop of {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades} was checked through, not without any table talk by Kabrhel though. He moved his hippo over to the middle of the table and said "smells like Ace high there. Is there any chance you fold?" before eventually checking behind.

Fabian bet 35,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn to set Kabrhel all in. "That is not correct. Minimum bet is 50,000, right?" Kabrhel inquired again and talked for another two minutes. Kabrhel then called all in and the cards were tabled.

Martin Kabrhel: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Stefan Fabian: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The {4-Clubs} river was a blank and Kabrhel was eliminated in 18th place for €34,630. Once all was done and the Czech had left the table, Kiryl Radzivonau said "thank you" to Fabian.

David Peters and Felipe Ramos in Contention as Day 5 Starts with 18 Remaining

Felipe Ramos is among the final 18

In two hours from now at 12 p.m. noon local time, Day 5 of the record-breaking 2016 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague Main Event will get underway. After four tournament days and 25 levels, the massive field of 1,192 entries has been whittled down to the last 18 and Jasper Meijer van Putten is leading the hopefuls with a stack of 3,770,000.

The Dutchman has already secured the biggest payday of his career with €34,630 locked up, but all eyes are set on the first-prize of €774,600 and the last chance to become an EPT Main Event champion. The popular tournament series is rebranding in 2017 and in less than a month from now, the first ever PokerStars Championship will take place in the Bahamas with online satellites already underway.

Marius Gierse follows in second place with 3,375,000 while David Peters is third with 2,985,000. Marton Czuczor already had several deep runs in EPT Main Events and is aiming to reach his first final table; the Hungarian comes into Day 5 with a healthy stack of 2,935,000. Other notables still in include EPT regular Kiryl Radzivonau (2,590,000), Andrew Hulme (2,205,000), 2015 World Series of Poker Europe runner-up David Lopez Llacer (2,200,000) and Sam Cohen (2,065,000).

The other two big names in contention will return with the shortest stacks. Martin Kabrhel has been very vocal at the tables and made it to Day 5, while Felipe Ramos is the last remaining PokerStars Team Pro and has 525,000. This represents just over 10 big blinds for level 26 with blinds of 25,000/50,000 and a running ante of 5,000.

The goal of the day is the final table of the last six for cards-up coverage on Monday and two further redraws will take place - with two tables left and once the tournament is down to the last nine hopefuls. The PokerNews live reporting team will be there to cover all key hands until a winner is crowned. You can also follow the updates of the record-breaking €10,300 High Roller as well, which is scheduled to determine the last ever EPT High Roller champion within the next two days.
