The board ran out to see Kyriakides hold with his ace-high as Shorr was sent to the rail.
The most powerful security barrier in the world is not a concrete bollard. It’s not steel plated armour or even an electrified fence. It’s the invisible line between a tourist, and the person they are taking a photo of. It creates a virtual obstacle that none dare cross, with elaborate side steps, twists and lunges performed to avoid appearing in shot.
A line of chairs, turned backwards does not work anything like as well, as tournament staff discovered this afternoon as the money bubble approached in the Main Event. The PokerStars Blog reports.
One more hand would be played before the players were sent into the second break and Mickey Petersen was all in for his last 11,000 chips. He got called by Peter Turmezey and Stephen Graner, both opponents checked down the flop. Graner then bet the turn and Turmezey folded.
Petersen had gotten it in ahead with but was already drawing dead against the of Graner, the meaningless on the river completed the board.
At the same time, Mirko Acksel and Sergej Choroskov were sent to the rail as well and all three claimed the min-cash of €8,970.

The action folded around to Mustapha Kanit in the cut off who made a raise. Team PokerStars Online Pro Christian Favale then three bet to 25,000 in chips. Both blinds folded their hands before Kanit was presented with another option. He bumped it up once more to 63,000 applying the pressure back on Favale.

The media crowded around the table and with the all clear the players tabled their cards.
Favale:
Kanit:
Favale was at risk for his tournament life and dominated by Kanit’s pair of aces. There would be no help as the board ran out to see Favale receive the unfortunate title of “bubble boy”.

The board ran out to see another player double as play continued.
Davidi Kitai appears to be the current chip leader and is using the power of his chips during hand-for-hand mode to increase the stack further. The Belgian just won two hands against Simon Mattsson and may very well be on the verge to write his name further into EPT history.
In the first hand, the Belgian check-raised the turn out of the small blind from 11,000 to 29,500 and then stared at the board after the fell on the river. He glanced over to the dealer, announced a bet of fifty-five thousand and Mattson quickly folded.
The next hand had Kitai on the button and his value-bet of 42,000 on the river was called by Mattsson. The Belgian showed for the flopped straight and that won the pot.
