Hossein Ensan finds himself deep once again at EPT Prague, four years after he notched his first major victory here. A lot has changed for him in the poker world since then, but it's worth looking back on his breakout victory.
Luke Marsh had raised the cutoff and after that, the action escalated as Luigi Shehadeh on button three-bet to 81,000. Andreas Boelling in the small blind four-bet to 400,000 with around 340,000 behind. Marsh folded and Shehadeh moved all in, Boelling called it off.
Andreas Boelling: 
Luigi Shehadeh: 
The board came 
and Boelling was covered to hit the rail while Shehadeh scooped one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

Laurent Michot raised to 21,000 from early position and Petr Hlavacek three-bet shoved 89,000 from middle position. Michot wasn't all too pleased to make the call but still did so after a second or twenty.

Laurent Michot:
The 
flop paired Michot's inferior kicker, now leaving Hlavacek to draw to three outs. Neither one popped up on the 
turn and 
river to end his attempt near the end of level 19.
