Sotirios Koutoupas opened the small blind to 250,000 holding 
. Oliver Price didn't have all that many big blinds left anymore and pushed all in with 
from the big blind. Snap call by Koutoupas.
Commentator Joe Stapleton jokingly said that Koutoupas would have this confrontation locked up after the flop, the way he has been running this final table.
"Ha!" Stapleton shouted as the 
window card became visible. The 
and 
that accompanied the queen for the flop gave Price something of a chance. Only one out of twenty times would Price still win this certain situation though.
"So you're telling me there's a chance?!"
The 
on the turn turned Price's 5% hand into an 18% hand. With an up and down, every ten and five would now give him the much needed double up. All other cards would mean he was out.
The river was a 
and the fairy tale was over for Price. Price, who wasn't planning on playing this event until Dominik Nitsche convinced him, walks away with €271,200 during his second ever EPT.

Back to back eliminations for the second time at this final table, albeit this time they were separated by a 20 minute break.
From under-the-gun Eli Heath moved all-in for 1,230,000 (12 big blinds) with 
, next to act Sotirios Koutoupas called with 
, both blinds folded and it was time to go to showdown.
Yet again Heath had got it in good, but yet again he'd be brutally outflopped as the first three community cards were 
. Heath was now just an 11% shot to stay in the tournament. He didn't get there on the 
turn or 
river and shook the hand of his opponents as he left the table.
Absolutely heartbroken. Gave it my absolute all and ran like death at the end. I will be back to win a big field live MTT soon! #eptliveFollow @EliHeath7788

It said 2% after the flop:

Law now needed runner runner straight flush for a split pot, or runner runner board pair something to win it. It wouldn't happen. 
on the turn and it was all over for Law. The 
on the river was there just to make it official.
Law exits in 5th place, taking home €164,600 after suffering this horrible beat.
