EPT London Main Event – Final Table Set

The 5th day of the
EPT’s London Main Event saw the final table set. 15 players returned to the tables of the Victoria Grosvenor Casino, and after about 7 hours of play, the final 8 was reached. The fact that most of those who survived to see the beginning of day 5 were sitting on large stacks meant that there would be plenty of back and forth before the final table bubble burst. It took no less than 2 hours for the first victim of the final table to head to the rail. Pasi Sormunen was the player who bit the dust first. He shoved all-in with a Qd, 9d against Chris Moorman’s Ad, 5d.
David Colin was the next player to be bounced. He got his last chips into the middle with an A,Qo only to be called by Bassel Moussa, whose pocket Js ended up winning the classic coin-flip. The Frenchman’s elimination appeared to have broken the ice: he was followed to the rail by Mikhail Korotkikh, Nicolas Chouity and Daniel Erlandsson, in relatively quick succession. Chouity, the last surviving
EPT champion, finished 11th. Niall Farrell was the player eliminated in 10th place.
With the money-bubble reached, all the surviving players were moved to a single table, and the short-handed stage of the action was finally over. Bassel Moussa was the final table bubble-boy: he was bounced by Theo Jorgensen in the last hand of the day. Jorgensen finished the day with a pretty decent stack of 1.55 million chips.
The player who finished with the largest stack was Steve O’Dwyer, who finished runner-up in this same event last season. O’Dwyer had 5.27 million chips bagged at the end of the day, a head and a shoulder above everyone else.
