One of several EPT Main Event winners in the field is Hossein Ensan, who also has the WSOP Main Event title under his belt. He continued for 2,000 on a flop of J♥2♥2♣ and Christian Stantchev called.
The 8♣ fell on the turn and Stantchev checked again. Ensan now made it 4,800 to go and that won the pot.

Giovanni Giudice opened to 2,500 from middle position and was called by Stanislav Anufriiev in the small blind and Alessandro Minasi in the big blind.
It was checked to Giudice on the J♠J♣8♣ flop and he bet 2,700. Only Minasi called.
Both players checked on the Q♣ turn and Minasi checked a final time on the Q♥ river. Giudice put a bet of 4,100 into the middle and Minasi looked him up.
Giudice tabled 9♦8♦ for a counterfeited pair and Minasi showed A♣K♥, which was good for the pot.

Following a middle position open raise, Oleg Vasylchenko moved all in for 23,000, then Smain Mamouni pushed from the small blind for 24,900. The original raiser folded and players flipped their cards.

Smain Mamouni: A♦K♠
The board ran out 2♥Q♦7♠4♥2♣. Mamouni held with his ace-king high to win the pot and near-double his stack. Vasylchenko was eliminated as Day 1b plays down its final level.

With around 35,000 in the middle to the Q♥9♦3♥8♦7♣ river, Casimir Seire had checked from under the gun. Yuhang Chen pushed all-in for what appeared to be 23,900 and Seire went deep into the tank without asking for an exact count.
Several minutes passed without any player calling the clock and Seire even apologised for taking so long, he then put the chips into the middle soon after.
Chen showed A♥J♦ for a bluff and Seire earned the knockout with the J♠7♥ for rivered fourth pair.
"That was a sick call," Rory Jennings said while Seire raked in the pot.

Paul Vas Nunes opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Benny Glaser three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Tomi Brouk then shoved for approximately 50,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Vas Nunes and a snap-call from Glaser to put Brouk at risk.
Tomi Brouk: J♠J♥
Benny Glaser: Q♣Q♥
Glaser had Brouk pipped with his queens, and the 4♠6♣3♥5♣5♥ runout came sweat-free for Glaser, who collected the rest of Brouk's chips.
