Olof Haglund Eliminated
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
2013 EPT London's third place finisher (£427,564) Olof Haglund has just been eliminated.
When we arrived at his table, he already had all of his chips in the middle from the small blind. The decision was on Italian player [Removed:40] who needed to add 35,000, with already a total pot of 24,000.
After minutes of thinking, Vitagliano made the call. Haglund had 
, and saw Vitagliano show 
.
Though Haglund was in front, he got up from his seat like he already knew what was coming.
And indeed, the 
was terrible for Haglund. The 
on the turn gave Haglund some recovering outs, but the 
on the river was a blank and Haglund made his exit.

The Bubble Gets A Guitar (and a $5,300 Ticket to the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open)
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Of the 1,496 players who signed up only 239 will finish in the money, leaving the remainder to reflect somberly on a first near-miss of the season, to the cheers of those left behind.
But it might not be such bitter blow for the bubble boy this time around as there's a consolation treat in store, which may strike a soothing chord (that's a pun which will become obvious in just a second).
The bubble boy today will not in fact leave empty handed, but will instead receive a custom guitar courtesy of the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida which this month stages their Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open with a $10m guarantee, all in association with PokerStars.
This will be something of a special event, beamed live from Ft Lauderdale by the team behind EPTLive, who'll be heading on a road trip across the pond of sorts to bring their award winning coverage to poker fans around the world.
But the organisers generosity extends beyond a few strings to pluck. The bubble player today will also receive a seat in this Seminole event, a ticket worth $5,300 and a short that that enormous prize pool. In fact, it's been scientifically proven* that the best cure for bubbling an EPT is to win a very big prize next time round in a tournament you got into for free.
You can find out more about the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open here, including how you too can play. For now we await the identity of the EPTs unofficial envoy. It kicks off on August 28 with the first of three starting days. Watch it all on EPTLive.
Karabakhtcian Bubbles the Bubble
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
The cameras were all around Table 2 where the board read 
. Gaik Karabakhtcian was all in and looking apprehensive whereas former PCA champion Dimitar Danchev simply looked bored of the entire situation.
Karabakhtcian turned over 
but Danchev quickly flipped 
for the winning trips to end the agony of the Russian. Just 240 players are left now,

Bubble Carnage as Six All-In Hands Deliver Multiple Exits
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
A remarkable turn of events as six all-in situations led to some serious complications for the bubble and the tournament.
On the first table, Francois-Charles Scapula and Daniel Studer were all in and at risk against former World Series of Poker November Niner Sylvain Loosli, who called covering both players.
Scapula had the 
, Studer the , and Loosli the 
. The board came 
, allowing for Loosli to win the pot and eliminate both short stacks, but this is where things got interesting.
There was some confusion as to who was the shortest of the two stacks, but it was eventually confirmed that Scapula had just 1,000 more than Studer.
On the next table to run out an all-in hand, Farid Chati was all in on an 
board against former EPT winner Martin Finger. Chati turned over the 
for a king-high flush, but Finger flipped over the 
for a straight flush to the astonishment from all surrounding the table. That meant after two of the six showdowns, three players had been eliminated.
The third table saw Randal Flowers all in with the . His mood had been brightened by the fact that several players had already been knocked out, guaranteeing the American some sort of prize. Philippe D'Auteuil was the one who had made the call his .
The flop came , and Flowers said, "I'll take two hearts," but the turn was the and the river was the 
. That meant a fourth elimination was confirmed, with more all-in situations to play out.
The next two all-in hands — both on different tables — saw double ups for the short stacks, leaving just one more to go.
Pawel Brzeski had put Richard Dubini at risk and Dubini called it off, but he had an agonizing wait while all of the other hands played out. Eventually, he was able to turn his cards over and see what he was up against, and when that time came he saw his against the 
for Brzeski.
The final board was 
and Dubini joined the other players eliminated on the bubble.
As it stands, five players were eliminated on the bubble, but with two of them coming from the same table, it's a very unique situation as to who would get what. The bubble was to receive a guitar and $5,300 seat in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $10,000,000 guaranteed event in Florida this week, so the tournament staff was left to sort out the mess.
It was decided that the five players would take the money from the first four in-the-money spots (€8,050 times four for €32,200) and divide it evenly amongst them, taking €6,440 each. Then the five will be play a sit-n-go for the guitar and the $5,300 seat. This ruling has raised a bit of question because it is ignoring the "bigger chip stack" rule that applies to situations in which two players bust from the table table on the bubble or in the money. Accordingly to the rule, the player with the largest stack would receive the highest finishing position.
