Barak Oz Eliminated in 4th Place (€393,950)

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Barak Oz
Barak Oz

When it folded to Pedro Marques on the button, he shoved with a stack that covered both Barak Oz and Jaehyung Park in the blinds. Oz was the shortest stack at the table, and after looking at his cards, he made the call for his remaining 2,750,000. Park folded and the cards were revealed.

Barak Oz: A7 All in
Pedro Marques: J8

Oz was marginally ahead and needed the dealer to give him a safe runout to double-up.

However, the dealer fanned out a flop of 6Q8 to put Marques in the lead with a pair of eights. The K on the turn meant only an ace on the river could save Oz from elimination. The 6 dropped on the river to give Marques the winner, and Oz was sent to the rail just shy of a podium finish.

Anton Bergstrom Eliminated in 5th Place (€303,000)

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Anton Bergstrom
Anton Bergstrom

Paul Runcan raised to 600,000 from the button and Anton Bergstrom three-bet shoved for 2,125,000 out of the small blind. Runcan called to try and bust Bergstrom.

Anton Bergstrom: A10 All in
Paul Runcan: 44

It was a flip that Bergstrom needed to win to have a chance of becoming the only three-time EPT Champion.

The 9K9 flop gave Bergstrom a few more outs to stay alive. The 2 turn was a complete brick, and after the 8 dropped on the river Bergstrom was out in fifth, and it guaranteed a new EPT Main Champion will be crowned.

Bergstrom Almost Gets There Against Runcan

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Anton Bergstrom

Paul Runcan raised to 400,000 from the cutoff and Anton Bergstrom shoved for 2,275,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Runcan called.

Anton Bergstrom: KJ All in
Paul Runcan: KJ

It looked likely to be a chop pot and when the 84Q flop fell both players picked up a backdoor flush draw. The A turn meant Bergstrom was freerolling with his club draw. However, the7 hit the river and they chopped the pot.
