Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Pedro Marques made it 400,000 from the button with Q♣10♥ and Paul Runcan called on the button holding 10♠8♣.

They saw a flop of 3♠5♦8♥ where Runcan led out for 200,000 with his pair of eights, and Marques called.

A K♦ on the turn drew a check out of Runcan, then Marques reached for chips and fired 750,000. Runcan wasn't going anywhere, and called.

The 2♠ dropped on the river and both checked it down, with Runcan's pair of eights being good.

Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

When it folded to Pedro Marques on the button, he shoved with a stack that covered both Barak Oz and Jaehyung Park in the blinds. Oz was the shortest stack at the table, and after looking at his cards, he made the call for his remaining 2,750,000. Park folded and the cards were revealed.

Barak Oz: A♦7♣ All in
Pedro Marques: J♥8♥

Oz was marginally ahead and needed the dealer to give him a safe runout to double-up.

However, the dealer fanned out a flop of 6♠Q♣8♣ to put Marques in the lead with a pair of eights. The K♦ on the turn meant only an ace on the river could save Oz from elimination. The 6♣ dropped on the river to give Marques the winner, and Oz was sent to the rail just shy of a podium finish.

Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Paul Runcan raised to 600,000 from the button and Anton Bergstrom three-bet shoved for 2,125,000 out of the small blind. Runcan called to try and bust Bergstrom.

Anton Bergstrom: A♣10♦ All in
Paul Runcan: 4♠4♣

It was a flip that Bergstrom needed to win to have a chance of becoming the only three-time EPT Champion.

The 9♠K♦9♦ flop gave Bergstrom a few more outs to stay alive. The 2♥ turn was a complete brick, and after the 8♠ dropped on the river Bergstrom was out in fifth, and it guaranteed a new EPT Main Champion will be crowned.

Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Paul Runcan made it 400,000 to go from under the gun and Jaehyung Park defended his big blind.

On the K♥10♠Q♠ flop, both players checked to the 7♠ turn, which also checked through.

A K♦ landed on the river and Park bet 200,000, which Runcan quickly called.

Park then revealed a flush with J♠8♠, and Runcan mucked his 10♥3♥.

Bergstrom Almost Gets There Against Runcan

Nível 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Paul Runcan raised to 400,000 from the cutoff and Anton Bergstrom shoved for 2,275,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Runcan called.

Anton Bergstrom: K♠J♣ All in
Paul Runcan: K♥J♥

It looked likely to be a chop pot and when the 8♣4♥Q♣ flop fell both players picked up a backdoor flush draw. The A♣ turn meant Bergstrom was freerolling with his club draw. However, the7♠ hit the river and they chopped the pot.
