Ivan Soshnikov Eliminated in 13th Place (€69,000)
Nível 25
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Both Vasili Firsau and Ivan Soshnikov have had success on the EPT. Last year Firsau finished tenth in this very event, while back in December Soshnikov took down the EPT10 Prague High Roller for €382,050. Both had their sights set on the final table, but Soshnikov's ultimately fell short.
In what would be his final hand, Firsau opened for 65,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Soshnikov in the big blind. He decided to move all in for 723,000 and looked a little aghast when Firsau snap-called.
Soshnikov: 
Firsau: 
It was a bit of a cooler, and Soshnikov was drawing extremely thin. The 
flop provided no help, and the 
turn actually left him drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river, and Soshnikov exited the feature table in 13th place for €69,000.

Soshnikov:

Both players flopped top pair with an open-ended straight draw, and with no flush possibilities, it meant the pot was destined for a chop. That's just what happened after the and were put out on the turn and river respectively.

Von Toperczer called again and the board paired on the the river. The German checked a third and final time, Teltscher counted out his remaining chips, any bet was probably going to have be an all-in but instead he decided to check.
Von Toperczer showed

Nikita Nikolaev Eliminated in 15th Place (€62,350)
Nível 25
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Two big stacks just clashed at the final table, and as you can tell by the title to this post, Nikita Nikolaev found himself on the wrong side of things.
The hand began when Nikolaev opened for 60,000 from early position and Martins Seilis called from the hijack. Mayu Roca then three-bet to 183,000 from the button, the blinds folded, and Nikolaev thought for awhile before four-betting to 367,000. Seilis folded, and Roca five-bet shoved. Nikolaev, who had about 1.5 million behind, paused for a few beats and then called off.
Nikolaev:
Roca: 
Nikolaev found himself in a bad spot, and it didn't get better on the 
flop. The turn ended up giving Roca a set, which meant Nikolaev was drawing dead. The meaningless 
was run out on the river, and Nikolaev hit the rail in 15th place for €62,350. Meanwhile, Roca is now a big chip leader.
