Marius-Catalin Pertea: 5♥5♣ All in
Andrew Hulme: A♣6♦

Pertea was greeted by the not-pretty flop of K♥Q♦J♣ and the board finished out 2♦6♠ to give Hulme a pair of sixes on the river to mark Pertea's elimination.

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 1,000,000 first to act and Rania Nasreddine wagered her last 1,300,000 from the small blind. Andrew Hulme called from the big blind and Song put in extra calling chips.

The A♣10♦8♠ flop checked through to the 4♥ turn. Hulme bet 1,000,000 and Song ditched his J♣2♣.

Rania Nasreddine: A♠3♠ All in
Andrew Hulme: A♥8♣

Nasreddine could only hope for a chop, but the K♣ river marked the end of her aspirations of becoming the fourth female EPT Main Event Champion.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Andrew Hulme, in the small blind, raised to 1,100,000 and David Coleman called from the big blind.

Coleman called a bet of 750,000 on the J♠3♠3♣ flop, which brought in the 2♦ turn. Hulme sized up to 1,450,000, good for a third of Coleman's 4,450,000 stack. The American called to bring the pot to 7,000,000.

The A♠ completed the board, and Hulme jammed as the bigger stack. Coleman called for his tournament life, and the cards were tabled.

Hulme tabled Q♠Q♥ for queens and threes, and it was good for knockout as Coleman had J♣9♠.

Following the bust out, the final four have locked up a minimum payout of €518,600.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andrew Hulme	27,830,000 6,700,000	6,700,000
Rania Nasreddine	12,250,000

Marius-Catalin Pertea	10,300,000 -200,000	-200,000
Stephen Song	8,850,000

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine opened to 700,000 from the button and called when Boris Kuzmanovic jammed for 3,100,000 from the small blind.

Boris Kuzmanovic: Q♠J♠ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♦K♣

The 9♥8♠7♥ flop saw Kuzmanovic pick up a gutshot to accompany his pair outs. The 4♠ turn then gave the at-risk player a flush draw.

Nasreddine covered her face as Kuzmanovic now had 17 outs, but the 6♥ river kept Nasreddine's Big Slick as the best hand and she secured the first casualty of the day.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rania Nasreddine	9,630,000 3,550,000	3,550,000
