Felipe Costa raised and Benjamin Pollak defended his big blind to see a flop of 
. Pollak checked, Costa continued for 5,000 and was called. On the 
turn, Pollak bet 4,000 and Costa called before the Brazilian then faced a bet worth 26,000 on the 
river.
"I have two pair," Costa said and called shortly after, then shook his head when Pollak had turned over his 
for a slow-played full house. Costa briefly showed his 
and was left short.
Nicaraguan Armando Collado Lanuza, who accidentally folded to the nut low earlier, saw his Main Event dream almost get shattered in a big preflop clash.
Collado was at risk holding 
versus the pocket kings of Ibrahim Ghassan. All the money went in preflop, creating a pot of over 150,000.
"One time I like," begged Collado, using his one-timer already on Day 2.
The dealer complied by dealing an ace on the flop and keeping the kings in the deck. A cheerful Collado stacked up the chips and is on his way to his first EPT cash ever.
Gaelle Baumann has doubled up a few times already today, then lost some chips again only to double her short stack. It was such a time once again, as Baumann shoved her last 12,700. Eugene Katchalov flat-called from one seat over in the hijack and the rest of the table folded.
Gaelle Baumann: 
Eugene Katchalov: 
The board came 
and the pair of deuces held up for Baumann.
Dmitry Yurasov took a smaller pot off Gaelle Baumann and could even afford to fold to a four-bet shove by Dan Shak. But then, he claimed the entire stack of Pierre Calamusa when the two most aggressive players at the table clashed.
Calamusa raised to 5,500 and Yurasov three-bet to 16,000 in the small blind. Calamusa four-bet to 37,000 and Yurasov called. On the 
flop, Yurasov check-called a continuation bet worth 30,000 and checked again the 
on the turn. Calamusa shoved for 60,000 and received a snap-call.
Pierre Calamusa: 
Dmitry Yurasov: 
Only a ten could save the Frenchman, but instead it was the 
that sent him to the rail and let Yurasov's mountain of chips grow even bigger.
Action folded around to Felipe Costa in the small blind, who moved all in for 41,700. Jerry Odeen gave it some thought, then committed the call.
Felipe Costa: 
Jerry Odeen: 
It's usually never easy when at risk, but this time Costa breezed through on 
and doubled up.
Under the gun, Joris Ruijs open-shoved for 33,100 total. Thibault Letort reshoved from the small blind to put Ruijs at risk.
Joris Ruijs: 
Thibault Letort: 
Ruijs lost a chunk of his stack earlier with pocket jacks versus pocket aces, and once again found his jacks crushed by a better pair. The online phenom got no help from the 
board, and the Dutchman will miss out on the money.
Benjamin Pollak raised to 6,000 and Piotr Franczak called. Elie Saad came along from the small blind as well.
The three saw the flop and it was checked Franczak. He bet 8,500 and only Saad called.
The fell on the turn and now it was Saad's turn to bet. He threw in four blue 5,000-chips for a total bet of 20,000 and Franczak did the same.
Saad fired again when the hit the river. This time the amount was 30,000 and Franczak called again.
Saad showed 
for the nut flush and Franczak mucked.
John Gulino raised to 5,200 from under the gun and Jaroslaw Kowalski called from one seat over. The action folded to Grzegorz Grochulski and he three-bet to 15,600 out of the big blind. Gulino folded, but Kowalski moved all in and received a snap-call by Grochulski.
Grzegorz Grochulski:
Jaroslaw Kowalski:
The board came 
and Grochulski doubled for around 60,000, leaving his fellow countryman short.
