Fahredin Mustafov raised to 40,000 on the button, Paawan Bansal three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind, and Mustafov moved all in for 350,000. Bansal quickly called.

Fahredin Mustafov: 9♠9♣ All in
Paawan Bansal: A♦Q♦

A few gasps went up from around the table as the K♦J♦7♣ flop gave Bansal a Royal Flush draw. He didn't hit it on the turn, but he did catch the 4♦ to make a flush. The river was the 3♥ and Mustafov made a quick exit from the tournament area.

Ivan Poroliev moved all in for 185,000 under the gun, Fahredin Mustafov reshoved for 290,000 in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Ivan Poroliev: A♠Q♠ All in

Terry Jordon: A♦K♦

Heads-up on a flop of Q♣K♦9♠, Mehdi Senhaji bet 40,000 from the button and Leo Worthington-Leese called in the big blind.

The turn was the 5♣ and Senhaji bet another 100,000. Worthington-Leese then raised to 275,000, and Senhaji moved all in for 655,000. Worthington-Leese snap-called.

Senhaji showed K♣9♥ for two pair, but Worthington-Leese had flopped the nuts with J♠10♣. Senhaji was left needing to fill up on the river to survive, and he spiked the 9♦ as he walked away from the table with his hands on his head in disbelief while Worthington-Leese calmly handed over most of his stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Fabrizio Nuetzel opened the action with a raise to 30,000 in middle position. Chip leader Gianfranco Iaculli three-bet his button to 90,000, after which Grzegorz Kozieja made it 200,000 to go in the small blind.

Nuetzel quickly got out of the way, but Iaculli obliged with a call. The duo went to the 10♥J♦9♠ flop, which Kozieja checked to Iaculli.

Iaculli fired a bet of 165,000, and Kozieja moved all in for roughly 500,000 after spending a time bank. Iaculli snap-called, and the players revealed their cards.

Grzegorz Kozieja: A♥A♦ All in
Gianfranco Iaculli: 10♠10♦

Iaculli had flopped a set to take a big lead over the aces of Kozieja. The 2♦ turn left Kozieja with just two outs in the deck, and they did not appear on the 5♣ river.

Kozieja took it in stride and amicably wished his former tablemates good luck as he saw his second consecutive EPT Main Event Day 4 appearance end in 43rd place.
