Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

It was always going to be hard for Anton Yakuba to make a comeback at the final table after his hand with Alexandre Reard left him with just three big blinds.

Despite finding an early double up, and moving all in from under the gun which got no caller, Yakuba has seen his fight come to an end.

Daniel Dvoress raised to 80,000 from the cutoff, and Yakuba moved all in for 310,000 from the button, which Dvoress called after the players in the blinds had folded.

Daniel Dvoress:
Anton Yakuba:

Board:

Yakuba had found himself in a good spot for a double, but Dvoress hit top pair on the flop. Dvoress also found the flush draw on the turn, which decreased Yakuba's outs, and the river sealed Yakuba's exit in 9th place for €52,510.

Max Silver Eliminated in 10th Place (€43,970)

Aaron McBride

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded to Max Silver in the small blind and he raised for a large percentage of his stack, and left himself with a little behind.

Michael Addamo moved all in from the big blind and Silver called.

Max Silver:
Michael Addamo:

Board:

"That hand is garbage!" said Silver, referring to earlier on in the day when ace-queen had been seen to be a losing hand for many players.

Addamo hit top pair on the flop, but Silver did have outs. But the turn and river bricked for the 2018 EPT Barcelona €10,300 EPT High Roller winner Silver, and the Brit saw his chances of back-to-back EPT High Roller final tables come to an end.

Silver exits with €43,970 for his efforts.

The final table of nine is now set, and a redraw will be made.
