Urbanovich Drowned on the River
Nível 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Dzmitry Urbanovich, who is the favorite to become the EPT11 Player of the Year, was just eliminated from the feature table.
We missed the early details, but it appeared there was 107,000 in the pot and a flop of 
when Urbanovich bet a hefty 179,000 from the big blind, leaving himself just 17,000 behind. Hady El Asmar, who was in the cutoff, made the call, and then Urbanovich got the rest of his chips in on the 
turn.
El Asmar: 
Urbanovich: 
Urbanovich, who finished runner-up in the €100,000 Super High Roller a few days back, had bet big with two pair, but ended up getting falling behind when the 
spiked on the river to give El Asmar a bigger two pair. Urbanovich earned some more coveted PoY points, and we expect we'll see him back in action in tomorrow's €25,000 High Roller.

There Will Be No Back-to-Back EPT Champ in Season 11
Nível 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jean Montury took down the EPT Malta last month, which meant he had a chance to become the first-ever back-to-back EPT champ. Montury gave it a go here in Monaco, but his hope of doing so just came to an end.
Up at the feature table, Montury got his last 79,000 all in under the gun and watched as Muhyedine Fares, who had 81,000, moved all in a couple spots over. The rest of the players folded and the cards were turned up.
Montury:
Fares: 
Montury's best chance at surviving was to catch an ace, but he failed to do so on the flop. The turn gave Montury a wheel draw, but it didn't materialize as the blanked on the river.
