Anthony Lellouche didn’t look too good when he called Stefan Raffay’s all-in. He had kings to Stefan’s’ tens but was in no mood to assume anything, his face preferring to wait to make sure. He needn’t have worried. His kings held and sent Stefan out.

Marcus Golser is also out, falling short of a second PokerStars.com EPT final table whilst William Thorson doubled up with K-J making for a rare moment when he jumped up out of his chair in relief.

No so for Irishman Peter Roche. On a flop of Qc-6d-4c he moved all-in with Kc-Jc only for Eric Koskas to call with 8c-6c. Both had a flush draw but crucially Eric had the six, putting him ahead. Roche needed help which didn’t come, another faller.
