Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Markus Schottes was seen leaving his table with the rest of his stack heading over to Georgios Vrakas.
The chips were already in the middle on a full board of 6♦7♣5♣J♣Q♠ and Schottes' 10♥10♠ were good preflop, but not by the time showdown was reached as Vrakas' A♣10♣ hit the nut flush to earn the elimination.
Vrakas, who started the day with a little less than 60,000, now has well over 350,000.

Chase Wilson limped from the cutoff, and Jianwei Lin moved all in from the button for around 31,000. Adi Rajkovic was in the big blind, and he made the call, with Wilson getting out of the way.
Jianwei Lin: A♠4♦ 
Adi Rajkovic: 5♥5♦
Lin was in trouble with only one overcard, and he missed the Q♦3♣6♠7♠7♣ runout, Rajkovic scooping the pot with two pair, sevens and fives.

Ryan Mandara had his stack of around 40,000 committed to the pot preflop and had been put at risk by Natan Chauskin.
Ryan Mandara: A♠9♠
Natan Chauskin: A♦Q♣
Mandara was behind and couldn't find a way back into the tournament as the J♥5♣3♦8♣2♠ runout meant he was sent to the rail.
On the table next to Mandara, Ana Marquez also just busted when she got all-in for around 20,000 with ace-deuce, but fell to her opponent's ace-queen.

David Cabrera in the small blind, Tom Vogelsang in early position, and Aleksandr Lakhov on the button had gotten all their chips in the middle. Lakhov played 40,000 or so, while Cabrera and Vogelsang played around 120,000 each.
Aleksandr Lakhov: A♥J♠
David Cabrera: Q♦Q♣
Tom Vogelsang: 9♥9♦
Cabrera made a straight on the J♦8♥10♠9♠ turn and faded his opponents' outs on the 5♦ river. He scooped the massive pot, eliminating Lakhov and leaving Vogelsang with one small blind.

Robert Schiffbauer opened to 5,500 out of his stack of 26,000 from the button. Vyacheslav Shin then moved all in for 29,000 from the small blind. Ali Al-Kubasi stuck in a tower of T-5,000 chips from the big blind and Schiffbauer put in the rest of his stack.
Robert Schiffbauer: A♥2♥
Vyacheslav Shin: 8♦8♣
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♦J♦
Shin's pocket pair remained best as his opponents failed to connect on the 7♣4♠4♥6♠3♦ runout. Shin collected the pot while Schiffbauer departed.

Action was caught with cards on their backs, with Mathieu Di Meglio all-in for around 75,000. Nicolas Chouity was the player looking to bust him and had Di Meglio narrowly covered.
Mathieu Di Meglio: AxQx
Nicolas Chouity: AxKx
Chouity paired up on the K♦J♣4♥ flop to remain ahead while Di Meglio had a draw to Broadway. The J♥ turn and J♠ river gave Chouity a full house and Di Meglio left the table after it was confirmed he had the slightly smaller stack.

Bobby James limped in from the small blind and called when Kirill Solovev made it 7,000 from the from the big blind.
James check-called bets of 8,000 and 15,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♦7♣6♥A♥Q♦.
James, with around 100,000, behind, checked for a third time, and then went deep into the blender after Solovev moved all in for 34,500.
James asked for the pot to be spread while he mulled over his options, cutting out calling chips from his stack. Ultimately, he settled on a call and Solovev could only roll his eyes in frustration.
James tabled 8♣7♥ and Solovlev left his seat, leaving his cards face down. The dealer turned them over and revealed 9♦8♦.
James explained his call to PokerNews. Apparently, Solovev had just had aces cracked in a small pot in the previous hand and appeared tilted. James also commented on how Solovev was betting, almost splashing the pot each time. Additionally, some other live reads helped James make the light call.
James has had a fruitful time at EPT Cyprus, notching 19th and 12th place finishes in the Eureka Main Event and High Roller. Between the two deep runs, James also picked up a Spadie trophy after he triumphed in the $1,100 8-Game for $11,200.
