TFFT had lost roughly half his stack to Valdrin Hasanaj in an earlier encounter. He then got his remaining 55,000 in from the big blind against his nemesis in the hijack.
TFFT: 6♣2♦ 
Valdrin Hasanaj: K♦Q♦
TFFT took the lead on the 4♠3♠2♥ flop and remained ahead on the A♦ turn. However, the Q♠ river paired up Hasanaj, marking the start of TFFT's journey back to the Netherlands.

Eidgenosse limped in under the gun, and Deniz Gueven raised to 4,000 on the button. Eidgenosse then three-bet to 15,000, and Gueven called.
Eidgenosse continued for 7,000 on the 5♥7♣7♥ flop, Gueven raised to 17,000, and Eidgenosse three-bet jammed for 83,500. Gueven pulled out his phone to take a picture of his cards, then called.
Eidgenosse: A♠A♦
Deniz Gueven: K♠K♣
The 4♥ turn and 8♣ river could not save Gueven, but he still had six big blinds left after paying Burri. The same could not be said for Jennifer Drici, who was eliminated at another table shortly after.

Kostadin Mihaylov and coolstorybro had collected 10,500 in the pot when Mihaylov bet 4,000 from the small blind on the 9♦8♣5♠ flop.
Coolstorybro called in the hijack, and he called again when Mihaylov doubled his sizing to 8,000 on the Q♠ turn.
Mihaylov tossed in 25,000 on the K♦ river. This earned him the pot, as coolstorybro decided to lay his cards down.

Today, at 7 p.m. local time, the next Royal Scepter event of the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship kicks off. As hundreds of players are being eliminated from Day 2 of the immensely popular Super Main Event, the €2,000 EPC Masters gives them a chance to reinvest their winnings and still take home one of the ten exclusive trophies.
The €500,000 guaranteed prize pool ensures the top finishers will leave King's Resort with a fat profit for the week, and the 100,000 starting stack means plenty of deep-stacked play is in store.
The EPC Masters is a two-day tournament, with Day 1 playing 12 40-minute levels, the first of which is 500/500 with a 500 big blind ante. Late registration will remain open for the first seven levels, ending with blinds at 2,000/4,000 (4,000), and unlimited reentries are allowed during this period.
All survivors will bag their chips after Level 12 has been completed, returning October 5 at 3 p.m. to burst the bubble and then play down to a winner.
