Thierry Gogniat Eliminated in 7th Place (€179,350); Tomas Jozonis Eliminated in 6th Place (€233,200)
EPT Paris is Jorge Abreu's world, and everyone else is just living in it as the chip leader just widened the gap in stunning fashion.
Nazar Buhaiov opened to 300,000 under the gun before Casimir Seire three-bet to 750,000 in early position. Jorge Abreu four-bet to 1,400,000 in the cutoff, and Thierry Gogniat stuck in his last 600,000 on the button. Tomas Jozonis then reshoved for 2,750,000 in the big blind, and Buhaiov folded J♦10♦. Seire was faced with a decision holding Q♥Q♣, but he eventually gave up his big pair for the second time today. Abreu, though, called to put both opponents at risk.
Thierry Gogniat: A♦J♥ 
Tomas Jozonis: K♠K♥
Jorge Abreu: A♠8♠
The J♠9♠8♦ flop gave Gogniat top pair and Abreu the nut flush draw, while Jozonis remained in the lead with his kings. The turn, though, brought the 3♠ to give Abreu his flush, and Gogniat and Jozonis were already drawing dead. The river was the 9♥ and Abreu scored the double knockout, Gogniat taking seventh place while Jozonis finished in sixth as the bigger stack.
