We're not sure how the action unfolded, but we do know that Martin Finger was just the victim of a cooler.
We happened upon the table as the dealer was counting down stacks to find a board reading . Finger had the laid out in front of him for two pair, but it was no good as Alex Bilokur had the out in front of him. Both players had flopped two pair, and after the stacks were verified, Finger was sent to the rail.

Last but not least Ole Schemion had once again bad luck with pocket aces. He raised the cutoff, one player called and Ami Barer completed in the big blind. "UhhMee" had the and flopped magic on the board. Barer checked the river and Schemion put him all in, obviously a snap call followed.

That was a rather short day at the office for Vanessa Selbst. She raised from under the gun and then four-bet jammed into the three-bet of Steve O'Dwyer. The EPT9 Grand Final champion snapped her off with pocket aces and Selbst stood no chance with on a dry board.
Connor Drinan three-bet shoved from the button with the and got looked up by initial raiser Ihar Soika with the . The board ran out nine high and that was it for Drinan.
Jean-Noel Thorel made some chips and moved up to 90,000 after betting the river for 30,000 with only little chips behind. Jose Carlos Garcia opted to fold.
