Jonathan Weekes had a massive chip lead at the end of Day 2, but he found himself at the back of the pack by the time the final table bubble approached. Still, he kept himself afloat as long as possible looking for the perfect spot. But this turned out not to be it.
Action folded to Arnaud Mattern in the small blind, and he raised to 105,000. Weekes knew exactly what range he was looking for, peaked at his hand, and quickly moved all in for around 750,000. But Arnaud had also found what he was looking for and said "call" before Weekes chips were even in the middle. Weekes knew that was really bad news.
Weekes: 
Mattern: 
For the third time in two days, Mattern held 
with a chance to knock out a dominated player. And for the third time, he hit a queen. The flop came 
, leaving Weekes with just a runner-runner draw. The 
turn kept him alive with straight outs, but the river fell the 
. Weekes certainly gained some respect this week, but he'll have to wait for another shot at an EPT final table.
Mattern, on the other hand, picked up a large chip lead to take with him into his third EPT final table.
