Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Antoine Labat raised to 60,000 from the small blind and was called by Dimitar Danchev from the big blind.
The flop came 10♥7♥9♦ and Labat tanked a while before announcing he was all in for 260,000 total. Danchev grimaced and thought his decision over for a while before eventually folding.

: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nozomu Shimizu shoved from the hijack and got a call from Marcelo Bonanata in the big blind, who was covered by the Japanese.
Marcelo Bonanata: 8♦8♥
Nozomu Shimizu: A♠K♦
The flop came Q♠6♥A♥, putting Shimizu firmly in front.
A 7♠ on the turn prompted Bonanata to stand from his chair, already resigned to his exit.
But an 8♠ on the river saved his tournament life and earned him a priceless double up. Shimizu was involved in a big pot next hand, where he got Masato Kashiwabara to fold his hand, which earned him back some of the chips he lost.

Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Marcelo Bonanata opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and was called by Nozomu Shimizu in the small blind.
Shimizu check-called a 60,000 bet from Bonanata on the 3♥7♦J♣ flop and both players checked on the 5♣ turn.
The 4♣ completed the board and Shimizu shoved for his last 105,000. Bonanata asked for a count and called.
Shimizu could only show 9♦8♥ for a busted straight draw and Bonanata tabled A♥3♦ for a pair of threes for the elimination.

Parker Talbot found himself all in against Elias Gutierrez. He saw his chances of remaining in the tournament diminish significantly as he tabled Q♥10♥, while the Spaniard showed aces.
Parker Talbot: Q♥10♥
Elias Gutierrez: A♦A♠
A flop of K♠8♠2♥ brought a backdoor flush draw for Talbot.
But a 6♠ on the turn put an end to any hope the Canadian had.
The 4♠ completed the river, and just like that we're down to the final table with nine players remaining.

Elias Gutierrez opened to 50,000 on the button and was called by Alejandro Lococo in the big blind.
The flop came A♦Q♣3♦, and it was checked to Gutierrez. He made it 30,000, before Lococo raised to 100,000. It was called and it went to a turn.
A K♠ hit and both players opted to check.
It was the same story on the 2♠ river - with neither player betting. Gutierrez tabled Q♦8♦, while Lococo scooped the pot with K♣10♥.

2007 was the first year that the PokerStars European Poker Tour visited Prague, and the Czech capital city has since woven a rich tapestry of poker history.
There have been a plethora of memorable and unexpected moments over the last 16 years, and as PokerStars gears up for the 2023 edition of EPT Prague, PokerNews thought it'd be fun to look back at some of the epic tales that have taken place at the stop.
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 50,000 on the button and just behind him, Alejandro Lococo shoved from the small blind. Action folded back to Vasylchenko, who quickly called all in for 660,000 total.
Oleg Vasylchenko: J♥J♣
Alejandro Lococo: A♥7♠
The 10♥J♠3♥2♠8♥ runout needlessly improved Vasylchenko to a set of jacks and he scored the massive double up to assume the chip lead.
