Nível 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

After being reduced to 750,000, Nasreddine was all in from the button. Derk van Luijk and Boris Angelov called from the blinds, giving Nasreddine the chance to triple up.

Action checked through to the river for the final board to read 2♣2♦2♥3♦6♥.

Van Luijk bet, instantly folding out Angelov.

Rania Nasreddine: Q♥9♣ All in
Derk van Luijk: 3♣3♠

Van Luijk flopped a boat and then turned a better full house, marking the end the American's incredible journey at EPT Monte Carlo.

Nível 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Derk van Luijk raised to 1,100,000 on the button and Rania Nasreddine called in the big blind.

The flop came 4♠3♣J♥ and Van Luijk continued for 1,500,000. Nasreddine called and the 5♥ fell on the turn.

Van Luijk bet another 3,000,000, Nasreddine moved all in, and Van Luijk snap-called for his last 8,450,000.

Van Luijk showed J♣10♣ for top pair, but Nasreddine had turned two pair with 5♦4♣.

"No jack, no ten, no three," Nasreddine pleaded heading to the river as more than 22,000,000 was in the middle.

The dealer turned over the 10♦ and Van Luijk spiked a higher two pair to earn the massive double up. Van Luijk went to shake Boris Angelov's hand thinking he had lost the pot before Nasreddine told him he had survived.

"Oh my God, shit. I'm so sorry," Van Luijk said, sitting down to a massive chip lead much to his surprise.

Nível 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Boris Angelov raised to 500,000 on the button and Derk van Luijk called in the big blind.

Angelov bet 350,000 on the A♦5♥7♥ flop and Van Luijk called. The turn was the 2♥ and Angelov bet 1,000,000.

Van Luijk again called and the 9♠ fell on the river. Angelov then moved all in and Van Luijk let out a deep sigh before calling for his last 3,550,000.

Angelov showed K♥8♣ for a bluff, while Van Luijk had 9♥9♣ for a rivered set of nines as he doubled up, drawing virtually even with Angelov and Rania Nasreddine.

Nível 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine opened to 550,000 from under the gun before Derk van Luijk jammed for 2,550,000 from the button. Jovan Kenjic, who had 2,500,000, called off his stack in the small blind.

"Can I phone a friend?" asked Nasreddine before folding her A♥J♣.

Jovan Kenjic: A♣K♦ All in
Derk van Luijk: J♠J♦

The jacks held out on the 10♠7♥5♥ flop, and the 9♦ turn. Kenjic had five outs, but the 6♣ river wasn't one of them, so he exited in fourth place to set up three-handed play.

Boris Angelov opened to 500,000 from under the gun. Jonathan Pastore defended his big blind out of his short stack.

On the 10♦9♣5♠ flop, Pastore check-called for his tournament life after Angelov put him all in for his last 1,300,000.

Jonathan Pastore: 10♥8♦ All in
Boris Angelov: Q♥J♣

Pastore's top pair was ahead, while Angelov had an open-ender to go along with his overcards.

The 7♦ turn kept the Frenchman ahead but the Q♦ river gave Angelov a superior pair to secure his third knockout of the day.

Rania Nasreddine raised to 550,000 on the button and Jovan Kenjic called in the big blind.

Jonathan Pastore was in early position and used up a time bank before choosing to fold his 4♥4♣.

Niclas Thumm then made a virtual all in, raising to 2,000,000, leaving him with 825,000 behind. Angelov called from the button before the blinds got out of the way.

On the A♣A♦Q♣ flop, Thumm chucked in a time bank before checking. Thumm then snap-called for the remainder of his chips after Angelov bet 1,000,000.

Niclas Thumm: A♥8♥ All in
Boris Angelov: K♥K♦

Thumm was miles in front with trip aces, and was the favorite for the 6,150,000 pot. The 3♦ turn kept "Flushi" ahead until Angelov spiked the K♣ river, giving him a full house to seal the elimination in dramatic fashion.
