Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Conor O'Driscoll raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and Bora Kurtulus called in the big blind.

Both players checked the J♦7♣2♠ flop before Kurtulus led out for 200,000 on the 10♠ turn. O'Driscoll called, and the A♠ fell on the river.

Kurtulus checked to O'Driscoll, who bet 900,000. "Ace-ten? Very good cards I fold. Two pair," Kurtulus said as he sent his cards into the muck.

Dimitrios Gkatzas then raised to 160,000 in the cutoff, Kurtulus three-bet to 450,000 on the button, and Gkatzas called.

The A♥J♥J♦10♣J♣ board was checked down. Gkatzas then showed K♣Q♣ for a straight, but Kurtulus had made a full house on the river with Q♠Q♥ to win the pot.

"What a board. Saved you," Kurtulus said to Gkatzas.

"No, it saved you," O'Driscoll corrected Kurtulus.

The 5♥ turn and J♣ river were checked to showdown, where Stanciu's 8♥8♣ was good enough to best the A♥K♠ of Krakow.

Filippo Ragone opened his A♥A♦ to 160,000 in the cutoff. Traian Stanciu called in the big blind with 10♠9♥, and the dealer fanned the 10♣2♠J♠ flop.

Stanciu checked before he saw Ragone toss in a continuation bet of 225,000. Stanicu spent a time bank, then called.

The turn fell the 3♠. After Stanciu checked again, Ragone put his stack of 710,000 over the line for an all-in bet.

Stanciu quickly folded his second pair, granting the pot to Ragone without need for a showdown.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 160,000 on the button and Vitezslav Cech called in the big blind.

Both players checked to the river on a board of K♠5♠4♥Q♠2♦. Cech then led out for 100,000, and Gkatzas called. Cech showed 3♠3♦ to win the pot.

The table then asked the floor if they were playing faster than the feature table, but they were told the number of hands at each table was equal.

"If we both play fast, this will be over in no time. First-ever five-day EPT," Conor O'Driscoll said.

A few hands later, Cech opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and Ding Fan called in the small blind.

Action was again checked to the river as the board ran out Q♦10♠2♥4♠K♠. Cech then bet 250,000, and Fan flashed the 9♠ as he mucked.
