Tim Baker

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Kazuomi Furuse shoved for around 60,000 out of the small blind. Astedt called.

Kazuomi Furuse: A♠7♥ All in
Niklas Astedt: 6♣6♠

It was a flip that Furuse needed to win. However, the board ran out 9♣8♣3♦9♥4♣, and Astedt's pocket sixes held up, sending Furuse to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Hossein Ensan was all in for his short stack from under the gun, and had been put at risk by Daniel Myers in the big blind.

Hossein Ensan: K♦J♠ All in
Daniel Myers: A♦10♣

Myers paired his ace on the Q♠4♥A♥ flop, which left Ensan needing to find a ten to make Broadway. However, no ten revealed itself on either the Q♦ turn nor Q♥ river, which meant Ensan was eliminated two away from the money.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stephen Song shoved from early position for a little less than 50,000 and Biao Ding called from the next seat. When the action got to Stoyan Madanzhiev in the big blind, he used a few time banks before he shoved for over 250,000. Ding snap-folded.

Stephen Song: K♦K♠ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: 9♥9♦

Song was in great shape to double up, but all of a sudden wasn't too comfortable as the flop of 3♥5♥4♥ gave Madanzhiev a flush draw. The remaining 63 players in the field didn't need to wait long to celebrate as the 2♥ dropped on the turn, giving Madanzhiev a flush. Song did still have some chop outs, however, the 9♣ on the river was no help, and he bubbled the EPT High Roller.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stoyan Madanzhiev	375,000 56,000	56,000
Biao Ding	190,000 26,000	26,000

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With the bubble broken, Alexander Zubov committed his final 3,000 into the middle from the hijack. Omar Del Pino raised to 35,000 from the cutoff before Elias Gutierrez shoved for roughly 260,000 out of the small blind. Del Pino folded, and the cards were revealed with Zubov at risk.

Alexander Zubov: 2♥2♠ All in
Elias Gutierrez: 6♦6♥

Zubov needed to find a deuce if he was to make a miraculous comeback in this event. However, the board ran out 7♠7♣7♦J♥8♣ to give Gutierrez the winner with a bigger full house, and Zubov was the first player headed to the cashier's desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Omar Del Pino	620,000 40,000	40,000
Elias Gutierrez	300,000 98,000	98,000

Roberto Romanello shoved from under the gun for 80,000, and Juan Carlos Vecino called from the button.

Roberto Romanello: Q♥J♠ All in
Juan Carlos Vecino: A♦9♥

Romanello was live and did hit a pair on the 6♦Q♣A♣ flop, but Vecino also paired his ace. A K♥ on the turn added a Broadway draw for Romanello, but the 2♠ was a brick, and he was eliminated.

Kai Cocklin

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ihar Soika on the button got his stack of over 400,000 into the middle against Stoyan Madanzhiev, who was in the big blind with the covering stack.

Ihar Soika: A♥J♥ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♣Q♥

Soika had just doubled up, but couldn't hold onto his chips for long as the Q♣Q♠2♥6♠9♦ runout meant he was eliminated, and Madanzhiev closed in on a million chips.
