Last year, the USA's Stephen Graner, who was playing in his first European Poker Tour event, defeated a record field of 1,107 players in the 2014 PokerStars.com EPT Season 11 Prague Main Event to capture a €969,000 first-place prize. Graner was in action today looking to defend his title, but any hope of that happening was cut short.

It happened when Jochum Weenink opened for 900 from middle position and Mustafa Biz, who was to his direct left, made the call. When action reached a short-stacked Graner in the cutoff, he three-bet to 3,000, leaving himself just 2,175 behind. Action folded back around to Weenink, who four-bet to 5,400, and then Biz came in with a five-bet to 12,500. Graner didn't seem thrilled, but called off nonetheless.

Weenink put in the additional chips to create a side pot, and the two active players saw a {8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Spades} flop. Weenink checked, Biz bet 10,500, and Weenink got out of the way.

Graner: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Biz: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Graner had flopped top pair, but he was behind the pocket rockets. The {A-Spades} turn left Graner drawing dead, and he wish the table luck before the {6-Diamonds} river made his elimination official.
