16 players remained for Day 5 of the EPT London 2013 £5,250 Main Event, with Sunday 500 winner David ‘MissOracle’ Yan in the lead and players aimed at reaching the Final Table. Following British Neophytos Neophytou, Kent Roed, Tudor Purice, Nicolau Villa-Lobos, David Yan, Javier Etayo and Senh Ung got eliminated. Previous chipleader Martin Kozlov [4] bubbled the Final Table: he and Stefan Vagner moved all-in on the 6-8-A flop on Level 27 (5,000/25,000/50,000). Kozlov held pocket queens while Vagner tabled aces for a three of a kind and the last streets did not help Kozlov.
