Dan O'Hair

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna shoved on the button and Samuel Ju, who was down to his last 340,000, rubbed his cards on the felt before taking a peek.

"I think I have to call," Ju said as he put his remaining chips into the middle.

Samuel Ju: Q♥9♣
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♥10♠

Ju would need some help to double up and continue his run, but the 6♦2♣J♠5♥7♥ runout kept Suvarna best with his tens to end the tournament.

Santhosh Suvarna opened to 250,000 on the button and Jamil Wakil called from the big blind.

Jamil Wakil: K♣7♠
Santhosh Suvarna: Q♥9♥

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jamil Wakil raised to 125,000 first-to-act and Chris Brewer called from the big blind, leaving himself just 5,000 behind.

Brewer checked to Wakil on the Q♥K♥2♠ flop and he bet to put Brewer all in.

"I mean, I flopped almost dead," Brewer said before committing his last remaining chip into the middle.

"You're drawing live," Wakil replied.

Chris Brewer: 9♠3♠
Jamil Wakil: A♥9♣

Brewer was drawing live, albeit slim. The 4♠ turn gave Brewer additional outs to a flush, but the K♦ river bricked out and Brewer was eliminated in fourth place.

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Viacheslav Buldygin shoved from the small blind and Jamil Wakil called all in for his last 360,000 from the big blind.

Viacheslav Buldygin: 7♠6♠
Jamil Wakil: A♠3♣

The J♣K♦10♠10♥8♥ runout kept Wakil ahead with his ace and he doubled up — leaving Buldygin with just 45,000.

On the very next hand, Samuel Ju opened to 60,000 first-to-act and Buldygin called all in on the button. Wakil called from the small blind and Santhosh Suvarna called from the big blind.

Action checked down on the 8♣7♠A♥ flop and 9♣ turn, but Wakil bet 100,000 after the 2♠ completed the board. Everyone else folded.

"Show the bluff," Buldygin joked as he tabled K♥7♥ for a pair of sevens.

Wakil had it beat with the A♣10♣ for a pair of aces and Buldygin was eliminated in fifth place.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou moved all in for 185,000 from the hijack. Santhosh Suvarna, in the big blind, used a time bank before making a reluctant call.

Sirzat Hissou: K♠Q♠
Santhosh Suvarna: K♦7♦

Hissou had Suvarna dominated and the 5♦9♠5♣ proved a safe one. The 6♠ improved Suvarna's chances as he now had a gutshot to go with his potential pair outs. The river landed the 8♥; Suvarna made his straight to eliminate Hissou on the stone bubble.

The remaining six players are in the money and are guaranteed a payday of €70,800.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hand One:

Sam Greenwood raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, Quan Zhou three-bet jammed for 250,000 from the big blind and Greenwood snap-called for his effective stack of 240,000.

Sam Greenwood: Q♣Q♦
Quan Zhou: J♦J♥

Both players held premium pocket pairs, but Greenwood's superior holding stayed infront on the 10♥6♠8♣4♠9♦ run out, leaving Zhou short.

Hand Two:

Zhou was forced all in for his last 10,000 as he posted the small blind. Greenwood raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Jamil Wakil defended in the big blind.

Wakil checked and then folded to a bet of 25,000 from Greenwood on the 9♣J♣9♥ flop.

Quan Zhou: 8♥2♥
Sam Greenwood: K♣J♠

The turn and river fell the 10♦ and 8♠. Zhou was eliminated, meaning the remaining seven players are now on the money bubble.

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 35,000 on the button and just behind him, Tamas Adamszki shoved for his last 152,000 from the small blind. Viacheslav Buldygin announced he was also all in from the big blind for more and Greenwood got out of the way.

Tamas Adamszki: A♣6♥
Viacheslav Buldygin: Q♥Q♣

Adamszki would need some help, but the 2♦5♦10♥2♠7♦ runout kept Buldygin best with his queens and Adamszki was eliminated.

Ollie Garland

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Santerne raised to 25,000, from the cutoff and Sirzat Hissou three-bet jammed for 166,000 from the big blind. Santerne went into the tank, using several time banks before making the call.

Sirzat Hissou: K♦K♥
Thomas Santerne: Q♣10♣

The board ran out Q♥6♣8♦7♦J♠; the queen-high flop brought some hope for Santerne, but Hissou's kings ultimately held to double him up.

A few moments later, Santerne moved all in for 154,000 from the hijack. Quan Zhou made the call in the big blind.

Thomas Santerne: 3♣3♦
Quan Zhou: 5♠5♥

The board ran out 8♥10♣Q♦6♥5♣; Zhou was ahead the whole way, rivering a set for good measure. Santerne's deep run came to an end. The remaining nine players are now on the final table.

Suvarna Ends Dvoress' Run

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Santhosh Suvarna called from the small blind and Daniel Dvoress raised to 24,000 from the big blind. Santhosh called.

Suvarna led out for 20,000 on the 8♦3♣J♦ flop and Dvoress shoved for his last 70,000. Suvarna called and hands were revealed.

Daniel Dvoress: 9♥9♦
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♣9♣

Dvoress held a slight lead with his nines, but would need to fade a lot of outs against Suvarna's open-ended straight draw and overcard.

The K♣ turn was safe for Dvoress, but the Q♠ river filled Suvarna's straight — eliminating Dvoress and ending his hot streak of consecutive cashes here at EPT Paris.
