Iranian businessman Ali Reza Fatehi, fresh off a third place in the €100k Super High Roller worth €669,920, has dialed up the action over at table 1. In the first hand, the board read {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Fatehi bet 2,700, which Yehoram Houri called.

The river brought the {4-Clubs} and Fatehi fired 17,700 in the middle, leaving himself with just 10,000 behind. Houri called relatively quickly but was aghast when Fatehi flipped over {A-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the rivered wheel.

Shortly after, EPT National High Roller Raffaele Carnevale opened to 1,000 and Mikhail Korotkikh called. Fatehi made it 4,200 out of the small blind and both other players came along. Fatehi bet 10,000 on the {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, getting rid of Korotkikh, and the 29,200 on the {K-Hearts} turn was enough to fold out Carnevale as well.
