Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brock Wilson opened to 28,000 from the button and Pablo Beltran three-bet the big blind to 76,000. Wilson called.

A flop of 7♦9♦A♣ saw Beltran make a continuation-bet of 40,000, which Wilson called.

The 10♠ on the turn drew another bet from Beltran, this time to the tune of 115,000. Wilson called again.

Beltran checked the K♣ river and Wilson went into the tank for around two minutes before he bet 245,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Beltran wasted no time in shoving, and Wilson called off his last chip.

Beltran showed A♠7♥ for aces & sevens, and Wilson showed K♦10♦ for a backdoored, smaller two pair, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised to 25,000 on the button and was called by Derk van Luijk in the big blind. On the A♣10♣8♣ flop, Van Luijk checked and Zabrodotskyi bet 25,000.

The 2024 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event champ then check-raised all in for about 240,000. Zabrodotskyi called and the PokerStars TV cameras gathered again to record van Luijk's fate.

Derk van Luijk: K♣9♥ All in
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: 10♦10♠

Zabrodotskyi was ahead with his set of tens, but Van Luijk was drawing to a flush.

The Q♦ turn changed nothing and the 9♠ river ended Van Luijk's day just minutes after he had doubled up.

Alexander Seibt got his last 100,000 in the middle in a blind versus blind confrontation against Dominykas Karmazinas.

Alexander Seibt: K♣5♦ All in
Dominykas Karmazinas: 10♣10♥

The flop came 9♦8♣7♦, followed by the 8♥ turn. The river was the 6♣ and Seibt began celebrating after hitting a straight.

"Oh, you have a ten. What a tease," Seibt said after noticing that Karmazinas had also made a straight to win the pot and send "Wolfgang Poker" to the rail.

"At least I made it to double digits. That's pretty cool," Seibt said after making it into the top 100 for the second straight EPT Main Event.
