So many bosses, such limited chips. At first of play today you'd has been hard pressed to select who'd make it to the overall eight; it isn't even worth guessing in these High Rollers - on the subject of everyone has the talent. So let's keep this intro short and sweet; 2015 WSOP November Niner Pierre Neuville holds the chip lead for what's certain to be a super final table tomorrow. The Belgian won an enormous pot on the end of the night to take his stack as much as 1.695 million, while the common stack is 900,000.
Great day for Neuville
Before we get to the opposite magnificent seven, lets cover the cash side of items. Entry was still open until the beginning of play today and that meant it was a short while until we had our field size and prize pool confirmed. Finally we had 144 total entries (115 unique), and that created a prize pool worth €1,396,800. There could be 20 players making the money, with a min-cash worth €18,160. But nobody desires to just min-cash; everyone here desired to win the €335,200 first place prize.
There were plenty that did not even come close. Pratyush Buddiga, Adrian Mateos, Sam Greenwood, Davidi Kitai, Ole Schemion, Steve O'Dwyer, and €25K High Roller winner David Yan are only among the many beasts who busted early on today. While they exited, others prospered; the lesser-known Alexander Iversson and Armando Collado both developed big stacks after a few levels and increased them within the day. And once we set out to 21 players, Collado can be considering what we called "one of the vital craziest bubble hands the PokerStars Blog has ever witnessed."
You can read the entire hand update by scrolling right down to 9:58pm, but here's the jist: chip leader Iversson opened and was called by Collado and the tiny stack of Christophe Larquemin, who had just 2.5 big blinds behind after the decision. The flop came J♣2♦5♣ and Ivarsson continued, which Collado called, while Larquemin folded. Then, after the K♦ turn, Ivarsson fired another bullet, just for Collado to jam for 206,000 - 20 big blinds - and he was called.
A bubble to remember
Collado had just the A♥2♥ for bottom pair, while Ivarsson had the K♣9♣ for prime pair and flush draw. The latter held up and Collado left with nothing. Larquemin probably couldn't believe his luck, he cashed and in fact doubled a couple of times after that before exiting in 12th. Previous to that other big names we lost included Ben Heath in 17th, Stephen Chidwick in 15th, Cate Hall in 11th and Philipp Gruissem in 10th.
There were nine left as we entered the last level of the night, and Team Pro Theo Jorgensen held the chip lead. He got most of his chips after busting both Alexander Iversson (13th) and Farid Jattin (14th) with pocket kings against Jattin's queens and Iversson's ace-king. The cowboys held. You'll take a look at all of the prize pool and payouts thus far here.
Hari Bercovici (9th) was our last casualty of the night, and that left us with eight remaining going into tomorrow, where they'll play right down to a winner. Here's how they stack up:
| Pierre Neuville | Belgium | 1,695,000 | |
| Cristian Egues | Spain | Live satellite winner | 1,515,000 |
| Liviu Ignat | Romania | 1,012,000 | |
| Theo Jorgensen | Denmark | Team PokerStars Pro | 982,000 |
| Michael Kane | UK | Live satellite winner | 810,000 |
| Stefan Jedlicka | Austria | 443,000 | |
| Charlie Carrel | UK | 410,000 | |
| Kilian Kramer | Germany | 334,000 |
And here is what they're playing for:
1st: €335,2002nd: €228,4003rd: €150,8504th: €124,3305th: €99,8706th: €78,2207th: €58,6708th: €43,300
They're an accomplished bunch. You'll all be acquainted with Charlie Carrel by now, his latest cash approaching Monday night where he chopped the €10K single day for €170,000. And Stefan Jedlicka too; he's had an ideal performance here in Malta, cashing within the IPT Main Event, then winning the €2K IPT High Roller for €89,039, then finishing third in another €2K for €35,600.
Carrel's on fire here in Malta
As is Stefan Jedlicka
But we even have a guy here with just $7,600 in live cashes to his name. Cristian Euges from Spain won a live satellite to get on this thing, and he's now guaranteed his biggest ever live cash.
Can the Team Pro take it down? Will Charlie Carrel secure another three-figure score? Can Pierre Neuville show these young kids a specific thing or two? Will Cristian Euges' first big cash include a trophy? Play resumes at 12:30pm so be sure to join us here at the PokerStars Blog for all of the live updates. Until then, ciao! --JS
1:15am: Done for the dayLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
There was no major action within the last 15 minutes, because of this the general eight players will return tomorrow at 12:30pm and play to a winner. AN ENTIRE wrap of the day's play, including overnight chip counts will follow shortly. --NW
1am: Huge pot for Pierre Neuville as he is taking the chip leadLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Late within the day the chip lead has changed hands with Pierre Neuville winning an enormous pot to leap into first place. It was Theo Jorgensen who got proceedings underway, he opened to 32,000 and collected calls from Neuville and Cristian Egues.
A Q♣3♠8♦ flop hit the felt and 3 checks followed. At the 8♠ turn Egues bet 60,000 and Jorgensen said: "I call that bluff," and was reminded it was a mulit-way pot. His speech play didn't deter Neuville from sticking around and the 3 of them saw the 2♣ complete the board.
Both players checked to Neuville who bet 140,000, call from Egues after which raise from Jorgensen! He bumped it to 500,000. After about 30 seconds Neuville said: "I call," and Egues needed a while before he folded. Jorgensen turned over Q♠9♠ but Neuville had 9♣8♣ for trip eights and took the pot.
He's as much as 1,520,000, Egues drops to 1,375,000 and Jorgensen is all the way down to 1,075,000. --NW
Jorgensen regrets
12:45am: Charlie Carrel doubles through Pierre NeuvilleLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
This was a small blinds versus big blind affair with Neuville shoving from the small blind and Carrel calling from the massive for his last 175,000. The Belgian had A♥3d] while Carrel had A♦4♠. A chop seemed most likley, but while the 5♥4♥6♥ flop gave Carrel a pair, Neuville had a straight and flush draws to eliminate Carrel.
He missed all of the outs though because the 5♦ turn and T♣ river kept Carrel in front. He's as much as 366,000 and Neuville is right down to 700,000. --NW
12:35am: Hari Bercovici elimianted in ninth place (€33,540)Level 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Having been short stacked throughout it's no surprise that Hari Bercovici is the player to fall in ninth. He three-bet all-in for 130,000 and Kilian Kramer, who had opened to 35,000, called the extra.
Bercovici: Q♥Q♠Kramer: K♣K♦
The Israeli had walked into some of the few hands that might beat him and he didn't suck out because the board came 8♣3♦6♣4♠9♠. --NW
12:30am: Final table re-drawLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Here's how the overall nine line-up:
1 - Cristian Egues - 1,640,0002 - Michael Kane - 845,0003 - Liviu Ignat - 1,190,0004 - Theo Jorgensen - 1,810,0005 - Hari Bercovici - 130,0006 - Pierre Neuville - 910,0007 - Charlie Carrel - 185,0008 - Kilian Kramer - 265,0009 - Stefan Jedlicka - 262,000
12:20am: Another double knockout! Cate Hall 11th (€27,940), Philipp Gruissem 10th(€27,940)Level 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)We're all the way down to the unofficial final table of nine as a result of another double bustout. It was Philipp Gruissem who got the action started, he raised to 35,000 from a stack of around 220,000, Cate Hall was next to act, she shoved for roughly 185,000 and when it got to Cristian Egues he re-raised all-in. "I HAVE a hand I WILL NOT fold," said Gruissem and he called all-in.
Gruissem: A♦K♦Hall: A♥Q♦Egues: 8♣8♦
The 8♠7♣7♠ flop was pretty conclusive and the 3♠ turn and K♣ river couldn't save either player. After that hand Egues is as much as 1,640,000 and they're going to now be a re-draw of the overall nine players. --NW
12:09am: Last levelLevel 20 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Unless we lose five players before the following hour is up, there's just 60 minutes left of play tonight. --JS
12:08am: Kane takes from IgnatLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Liviu Ignat opened under the gun and Hari Becovici called, as did Michael Kane within the small blind. They saw a Q♣6♣7♦ flop and it checked to Ignat who continued for 32,000, but Kane came along. The turn was the 6♠ and Kane check-called a 58,000 bet. Finally the river was the K♣ and both checked. Kane showed the A♣J♣ for the nut flush and took down the pot, to bring his stack as much as 890,000. --JS
12:05am: Christophe Larquemin next to fall in 12th (€24,440)Level 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
We're all the way down to 11 now after Christophe Larquemin got his chips in good but it surely wasn't meant to be. Michael Kane made it 27,000 to head and Liviu Ignat called at the button. Larquemin also known as from the small blind and the flop came down 6♥4♥2♣. Larquemin did the old 'stop-and-go' move and shoved 127,000 straight away, Kane folded but Ignat called.
Ignat - K♥Q♥Larquemin - 9♥9♣
The nines were ahead, however the 8♥ river gave Ignat a flush and the 9♠ set-giving river changed nothing as to who won. Ignat has 1.3 million now. --JS
11:55pm: Double knockout! Farid Jattin eliminated in 14th (€22,340) and Alexander Ivarsson out in 13th (€24,440)Level 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
"I gave him the choice to shove or fold and he chose the latter," said Theo Jorgensen matter of factly to Philipp Gruissem when the German checked out Jorgensen stacking a mound of chips.
The Team PokerStars Pro is as much as an immense 1,750,000 after disposing of two players within the same hand. The action was started by Alexander Ivarsson, who raised to 27,000 from under-the-gun, Farid Jattin then shoved for 79,000 from under-the-gun+1 and Jorgensen min-raised to 131,000.
It folded back round to Ivarsson and he shoved for around 450,000. "Yes, let's go," said Jorgensen who snap called and showed K♥K♠. It was a cooler as Ivarsson held A♦K♣ and Jattin Q♠Q♣.
It was in all places at the turn of a 3♣6♠5♠K♦4♥ board and Jorgensen is now the clear chip leader. By virtue of getting more chips to start out the hand, Ivarsson finished 13th and was awarded the upper payout. --NW
11:43pm: Chatty CarrelLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Charlie Carrel is the other of the British stereotype, he's outgoing, chatty and a fun presence on the poker table. He just played a pot against Cristian Egues which involved some great table talk between the two.
Stefan Jedlicka was the catalyst, he raised to 26,000 from the button, Egues called out of the small blind and Carrel called from the massive. The J♦K♥9♣ flop was checked through and the 6♠ fell at the turn. Egues led for 40,000, Carrel made it 80,000, Jedlicka folded and Carrel called.
On the J♥ river Egues led for 100,000 and that is where the table talk began.
"I've got an excellent hand," began Carrel. "You seem confident, though, what do you're thinking that I'VE"? he probed. "YOU ARE NOT going to get anything from me," replied Egues.
"This goes to take a minute," continued Carrel. Philipp Gruissem took this a cue to rise up from the table and stretch his legs. 'Will you show if I fold?" asked Carrel. His opponent replied negatively. "Show one?"
"No, I won't show," replied Egues."Oh man, that makes me need to call much more. Where are you from?" asked Carrel."Spain, the Basque country," explained Egues."Oh fuck, what am i able to do?" joked Carrel playing at the reputation that Spanish players are seen as loose. "I'VE a king by the way," he added.
A bit more time passed with Carrel, who had 290,000 back, really torn as to what to do. "YOU SIMPLY seem so comfortable," he said after which mucked his hand. Egues turned over T♥8♥ for a busted straight draw and Carrel genuinely applauded his opponent's play. After that hand, the Spaniard is as much as 1,150,000. --NW
11:43pm: Jedlicka doubles tooLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Stefan Jedlicka just shoved for 115,000 from the massive blind excessive of Cate Hall's 28,000 cutoff open and he or she called. It was her K♥Q♦ against Jedlicka's A♥3♥ and the ace would pair at the 5♣8♠A♣J♥7♠ board. Hall's all the way down to 289,000 now, while Jedlicka has 250,000. --JS
11:35pm: Huge double for Ignat through IverssonLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Wow, the tables have really turned here and the person who has led for far of the way, Alexander Iversson, now finds himself with a not up to average stack.
Picking up the action on a 9♠3♥7♥ flop, Liviu Ignat checked and Iversson made a 40,000 bet which was called. But things really got interesting at the 8♠ turn. Ignat checked again and this time Iversson made it 115,000. Ignat then shoved for 451,000 and Iversson was a little bit greatly surprised. He made the decision though.
Iversson - A♠9♦Ignat - 5♦6♣
Iversson had flopped top pair but Ignat had turned a straight and was 100% to win the hand. The J♠ river meant nothing and Ignat now has roughly 1.1 million while Iversson drops to 432,000. --JS
Ignat ignited
11:28pm: Carrel slips below averageLevel 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Charlie Carrel and Philipp Gruissem was sat next to one another for a lot of the latter stages of this tournament and feature been bouncing around different topics of conversation. "I HAVE your voice as my inner monologue on the moment," said Carrel to Gruissem. "Oh no, I'm below average for the primary time today," continued Carrel in a German accent, which if we're being kind wasn't the most efficient. "I CANNOT do it out loud but in my head it's pretty funny," he added.
The conversatin stopped because Carrel got keen on a pot. Pierre Neuville was the pre-flop aggressor, he opened to 30,000 and Cristian Egues (small blind) and Carrel both called. At the 9♥4♥2♠ flop Neuville bet 36,000, Egues smooth called and Carrel then raised to what gave the impression of 115,000. Neuville folded but Egues moved all-in, which prompted a snap fold from Carrel. "You were the only I USED TO BE worried about, nice hand," said Carrel. --NW
He's right down to around 350,000 while Egues is as much as 850,000. --NW
11:18pm: Chidwick's out in 15th (€22,340)Level 19 - Blinds 6,000/12,000 (2,000 ante)
Stevie444 didn't last long after the dinner break. Cate Hall was at the button and made it 30,000 to head and Stephen Chidwick defended his big blind. The flop fell 4♣A♦8♦ and Chidwick check-called a 20,000 c-bet, followed by the 7♥ turn. He checked all over again and Hall moved all-in, which Chidwick called. He was behind with the Q♦4♦ for a couple of fours against Hall's A♠2♠ and the T♠ river changed nothing. Hall is as much as 495,000 after that one. --JS
Another cash for Chidwick

10:51pm: Three important bits from before the breakLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
1. Christophe Larquemin has doubled up again. He shoved for 64,000 over Kilian Kramer's 25,000 open with the 8♦8♣ and was called by Kramer's A♣5♦. The board ran out Q♥9♥8♠6♥T♣.
2. There has been an enormous pot between Pierre Neuville and Philipp Gruissem. It started with a 27,000 open the Belgian which was three-bet by Gruissem at the button to 62,000. Neuville called and the flop came 2♥3♣5♦. It checked to the German and he continued for 55,000, and again that was called.
The turn was the J♠ and both opted to test taking us to the 6♣ river. Neuville checked once more, and that prompted a bit of from Gruissem - 125,000. Neuville wasn't done though; he then raised again! He made it 264,000 knowing that Gruissem had just 219,000 behind.
"I know you are a bit crazy Pierre otherwise I MIGHT have folded a very long time ago. But I DO KNOW you are a bit crazy," said Gruissem. "THAT IS so annoying. Would you fold if I bet the turn?"
Neuville just stared at him, smiling and giggling. Gruissem folded and dropped to 219,000, while Neuville is as much as 740,000.
3. Another big hand came about at the other table. Alexander Iversson made it 25,000 at the button and Michael Kane defended his big blind. They saw a 5♠A♠Q♦ flop and Kane check-called a 25,000 bet. The turn was the 9♦ and this time Kane check-called 70,000. Finally the river was the J♣ and Kane checked a last time. Iversson fired a 3rd bullet worth 175,000 and after a couple of minutes of thinking Kane made the call.
It turned out to be a really perfect" call", in line with Theo Jorgensen who stuck around to watch, as Kane had the K♣Q♥ and his one pair of queens was best against Iversson's T♠J♦. Kane now has 794,000, and Iversson dips to 924,000. --JS
10:45pm: Chmielewski out, Neuville all but triples upLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Left with just 15 big blinds Marcin Chmielewski shoved all-in from early posiition for 148,000, Pierre Neuville then re-raised all-in for 170,000 and action paused at Cristian Egues. He got counts after which called, he had both players well covered.
Egues: A♦Q♦Chmielewski: 8♥8♣Neuville: A♣A♠
The A♥6♠7♠ flop all but sealed the deal for Neuville, he needn't have worried about an outdraw because the 6♣ sealed the deal and the 4♣ fell at the river. So Chmielewski exits in 16th, Neuville's as much as around 500,000, while Egues is all the way down to 610,000. --NW
Marcin Chmielewski
10:35pm: Farid Jattin doubles upLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
The action folded to Alexander Ivarsson within the small blind and he shoved for an efficient 130,000. Farid Jattin checked out his cards and snap called. He had picked the easiest time to search out A♣A♠ and Ivarsson showed Q♣8♠. A 5♠T♣T♠7♠6♦ board meant Jattin doubled.
10:30pm: Hari Bercovici doubles twice in a rowLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Two hands, two doubles. Easy game for Hari Bercovici. Within the first he shoved from the button for 75,000 with K♥4♣ and Stephen Chidwick re-raised all-in with A♣T♣ to position him in peril. The J♣K♦J♠9♠8♦ board meant Bercovici surived and Chidwick dropped to 85,000.
On the following hand Marcin Chmielewski opened to 25,000, Bercovici shoved for 167,000 and the Pole called the all-in.
Bercovici: Q♣Q♥Chmielewski: J♣J♦
The better pair held up because the board ran 2♦6♣K♣4♦Q♠. Suddenly Bercovici has a stack of nearly 40 big blinds, while Chmielewski is right down to 150,000. --NW

10:25pm: Ivarsson eliminates Heath; 16 players leftLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
It took lower than QUARTER-HOUR to move from 20 to 16 with Ben Heath the player out in 17th because of this there's now a whole redraw of the overall 16 players.
In the hand in question Alexander Ivarsson opened to 25,000, Heath three-bet to 84,000 from the massive blind, Ivarsson shoved all-in and Heath called all-in for 298,000. He had pocket jacks and was racing against Ivarsson's A♣Q♣.
The T♣Q♠Q♥Kh]3♥ board meant Ivarsson chips as much as 1,300,000 and Heath exits in 17th. The 2 table re-draw is coming shortly. --NW
Heath - out in 17th
10:23pm: Another one bites the dust; Jyri Merivirta gone in 18th (€18,160)Level 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Another quick exit in an unremarkable hand. Michael Kane open-shoved for 110,000 and it folded around to Jyri Merivirta within the small blind who called off his 100,000 stack. He had the 6♦6♥ against the A♠2♠, but an ace at the flop of the 5♦T♠A♣T♥8♦ board knocked him out. Kane has 225,000 now. --JS

Whoa, they're flying out the door now. Alexander Ivarsson opened to 25,000 at the button and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau defended his big blind. The flop came 9♣2♠6♦ and he then shoved for his remaining 35,000 and Ivarsson called.
Vaskaboinikau - 8♥7♠Ivarsson - K♣2♣
It was an up-and-down straight draw against the pair, and the deuces held up after the A♣ and 3♠ completed the board. Ivarsson increased to 970,000. --JS
10:13pm: Gleb Tremzin first out within the money (20th - €18,160)Level 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Gleb Tremzin moved all-in for 141,000 just for Cate Hall to re-shove with the larger stack. The 2 got heads-up and the cards were flipped: 5♠5♥ for Tremzin against Hall's 9♦9♣. A five didn't take place and Tremzin was outta here. Hall is as much as 430,000. --JS
Tremzin has cashed, but has crashed out
10:10pm: Two doubles for LarqueminLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
Christophe Larquemin was basically gifted a money position on this tournament, and he's taking advantage of it by doubling up twice. First of all he got his 24,000 in against Alexander Ivarsson's A♥T♥ with the J♦8♦ and flopped gin at the 8♣J♣8♠9♠A♠ board, then he was all-in with the A♣T♣ against Marcin Chmielewski's 8♥8♠ and it seemed like he was all but out at the 9♥Q♦8♦ flop. But the J♦ turn gave him a straight and the A♠ river changed nothing. He's as much as 135,000 now. --JS
9:58pm: Armando Collado bubbles; Larquemin survives with 2.5 big blindsLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
This is among the craziest bubble hands the PokerStars Blog has ever witnessed. Strap in, this can be a good one. Alexander Ivarsson opened to 25,000 from under-the-gun, one seat along Armando Collado called and Christophe Larquemin called from the massive blind. The Frenchman had just 25,000 left at this point so the decision represented half his stack.
On the J♣2♦5♣ flop Ivarsson bet 40,000, Collado called and Larquemin decided to fold, leaving himself with just 2.5 big blinds. The turn was the K♦ and that is where things got crazy. Ivarsson bet again, this time 60,000 and Collado then counted up his chips and started stroking a large tower of them while he selected his next move. That move can be to shove for 206,000 and when Ivarsson got a count he called.
Collado: A♥2♥ - for bottom pairIvarsson: K♣9♣ - for prime pair and a flush draw
The players from the opposite tables had gathered across the table to observe and the Q♦ completed the board to eliminate Collado and burst the bubble. It's safe to mention that Larquemin is the happiest man within the room at this time. --NW
Crowds gather to look at bubble burst
9:53pm: Blinds are upLevel 18 - Blinds 5,000/10,000 (1,000 ante)
As are the rules, the blinds can only go up once at the bubble period because of this we'll be playing 5K/10K until we lose a player. --JS
9:49pm: Carrel and Gruissem at it againLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Charlie Carrel opened to 20,000 from mid-position and his only caller was the person to his left, Philipp Gruissem. They saw three cards hit the felt: 2♠7♣9♣. Carrel continued for 30,000 just for Gruissem to rigorously (and slowly) raise it as much as 65,000. Carrel made the call.
The T♣ at the turn might have been somewhat a scare card because it completed flushes and straight draws. Both checked and the river came the A♥. Carrel checked a last time and Gruissem quickly checked behind. Carrel immediately flipped over his A♦A♠ and Gruissem mucked, which brings Carrel as much as 560,000. --JS
9:38pm: Piotr Franczak out in 22nd; bubble timeLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
The 21 remaining players at the moment are at the bubble and it's Piotr Franczak who's been eliminated. He doubled up with queens against the tens of Stefan Jedlicka to climb to around 140,000 but a couple of hands later he lost those chips to Theo Jorgensen.
The Dane opened with A♠K♣ and snap called when Franczak shoved from the large blind with Q♦T♥. The 2♦8♣J♣5♥8♦ board didn't improve Franczak and he wished the players good luck before leaving. --NW
9:28pm: Stephensen runs into Gruissem's rockets to bustLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Bad timing from Felix Stephensen. After opening to 18,000 he then faced a three-bet to 40,000 from Philipp Gruissem, who was putting his newly-acquired chips to work. Stephensen then shoved after a minute or so thinking time and Gruissem peeled his hand as much as show the A♥A♣ for an obvious snap-call.
Stephensen had a fair hand too however the T♣T♦ would have to improve. They got no help from the K♥5♠3♦6♣A♠ board and he left in 22nd. We're now at the soft bubble. --JS
9:20pm: Jensen out in 24thLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Well, he was the shortest stack coming back after dinner, so I SUPPOSE the cash would was on him being the primary to depart. Cristian Egues made it 21,000 to move at the button and Jensen jammed from the large blind for 66,000, which was called.It was the K♠8♥ for the Dane against the A♠7♥, however the 7♠4♠6♥T♦A♥ runout brought no help. Jensen said his goodbyes, and Egues moved as much as 810,000. --JS
Deep run within the Main, deep run here for Jensen
9:15pm: Gruissem's time to doubleLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
On the former hand, Philipp Gruissem had three-bet shoved from the small blind and compelled Charlie Carrel to give up the chips he'd invested. At the next hand it folded to Gruissem at the button and he moved all-in, Stefan Jedlicka folded the small blind but Piotr Franczak snap called from the large blind. "Oh shit," said Gruissem, showing 2♦2♠. It could've been way worse as Franczak held A♦9♥.
The flop was an absolute rollercoaster with the 9♠ appearing first, then the A♦ and at last the 2♣ as Gruissem lost the lead after which regained it. The 6♣ turn and 8♥ river kept him in front and he doubled up. He was all-in for 147,000 and is as much as around 310,000, while Franczak slips to 66,000. --NW
9:05pm: Bercovici gets a doubleLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Liviu Ignat opened to 18,000 within the cutoff just for Hari Bercovici to jam for 72,000 total from the small blind. Action back on Ignat, he will need to have felt priced in as he called with the 4♠8♠, which was in real bad shape against the 8♥8♦. The board ran out K♦2♠A♠9♣8♣ and Bercovici got the entire double, while Ignat dropped to 450,000. --JS
8:55pm: Jorgensen as much as over a millionLevel 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Theo Jorgensen is the primary player to damage the million chip mark, and he did it by winning a large pot against Farid Jattin. The latter opened to 19,000 and Jorgensen, who had position, smooth called. Jattin then went directly to check-call bets of 25,000, 55,000 and 200,000 at the 7♦2♣A♠T♣4♠ board. Jorgensen showed A♦2♦ at showdown and Jattin mucked. The Dane is as much as 1,060,000, while Jattin drops to 140,000. --NW
8:40pm: Jorgensen leads the overall 24Level 17 - Blinds 4,000/8,000 (1,000 ante)
Theo Jorgensen leads the overall 24 players, he's just sooner than Cristian Egues. The Dane has missed his flight and told us that he'd be annoyed should he also fail to see the cash. "I BELIEVE I'm a gorgeous solid favourite to cash though," he told us with a smirk.
Jorgensen leads the pack
Indeed he's in an ideal position however the same cannot be said of his fellow countryman Frederik Jensen, Jyri Merivirta, Hari Bercovici or Philipp Gruissem. The German is asking to snap a streak of bubbles in high roller events. He was tenth within the €25,000 High Roller (eight paid) and can be hoping history doesn't repeat itself here in Malta.

7:25pm: Dinner break
All 24 players made it during the 40 minutes of play for the reason that redraw, and now they're off on a 75-minute dinner break. Back around 8:40pm when we'll start to see who among this group makes it to the highest 20 and the money. --MH
7:25pm: Hall gets the double in last pre-dinner handLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Kilian Kramer made it 13,000 from under the gun plus one and it folded around to Hari Bercovici within the small blind. He made the call, as did Cate Hall within the big blind. The flop came 5♦9♥6♦ and it checked to Hall who led out for 18,000. Only Kramer would call to peer the Q♦ turn and Hall continued for 27,000. Kramer then put her all-in and he or she made the call.
Hall - Q♠9♦Kramer - A♦8♥
Kramer was semi-bluffing with only a gutshot and the 3♥ river meant Hall's two pair were good. She doubled to 319,000, while Kramer drops to 312,000. --JS
7:20pm: Franczak gets a jam throughLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
From late position Piotr Franczak opened to 15,000 and Farid Jattin smooth-called. At the 9♣5♥5♦ flop Franczak fired out a chance of 25,000 and Jattin stuck around.
The 2♥ fell at the turn and Franczak moved all-in for 118,000 total. Jattin tanked for over two minutes -- he had a stack of 470,000 -- but ultimately he folded. Pot to Franczak. --NW
7:15pm: Chidwick folds to Neuville, then doubles HallLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Stephen Chidwick's stack is at the slide again after two not up to profitable hands versus Pierre Neuville and Cate Hall.
Chidwick opened to 12,000 from middle position and Neuville called from the massive blind. The flop fell T♠4♠7♠ and Chidwick's 11,000 c-bet was check-raised up 30,000 by the Belgian. Chidwick called but couldn't do the similar at the Q♦ turn when Neuville shoved for 74,000.
The very next hand, Chidwick raised to 11,000 and called after Hall moved all-in for 69,000 from the small blind.
Hall: A♠J♥Chidwick: 3♦3♠
The board ran 6♥7♣J♣Q♥7♠ to make Hall two pair. --MC
7:10pm: Heath adds a couple of from ChmielewskiLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Ben Heath made it 14,000 to move under the gun and his only caller was Marcin Chmielewski at the button. That meant Heath was first to behave after the K♥4♥9♣ flop and he continued for 18,000. The Pole came along.
We saw the 2♥ at the turn and Heath fired another bullet, worth 44,000. That was simply too much for Chmielewski who let his hand go, and dipped to 430,000. Heath has around 340,000 now. --JS
Heath's at the up
7pm: Jedlicka shoves on FranczakLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
It's been a horny pedestrian last QUARTER-HOUR of play because the redraw, but Stefan Jedlicka just raised the action a notch or two when he took a pot against Piotr Franczak.
The Austrian player raised to 13,000 from the cutoff and Franczak then three-bet to 40,000 from the button. Next to behave was Farid Jattin. He seemed interested and took a glance at Franczak's stack (210,000) and thought for over a minute before folding.
Back on Jedlicka, it didn't take him too long to transport all-in and Franczak folded instantly. He's right down to 210,000. --NW
6:50pm: Neuville gets trickyLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Liviu Ignat made it 17,000 to play and it folded to Pierre Neuville within the big blind. He defended and the duo saw the dealer lay a K♠Q♥7♦ flop. There'd be no betting in this street, though.
The turn was the 5♠ and now Neuville counted out his chips. He had 71,000, after which he made a big gamble of 50,000 --more than the pot, and one who left him just 21,000 behind. Ignat thought for a few minutes before letting his hand go. --JS
6:45pm: Full redraw at 24Level 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)

6:40pm: Panek and Grochulski depart; right down to 24Level 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Two quick-fire exits mean we're all the way down to the general 24.
First to move was Tomasz Panek, he shoved from under-the-gun for 80,000 with A♥Q♠ and Christophe Larquemin looked him up with Q♦Q♣. The J♦T♥4♠2♠8♣ flop meant Larquemin held up and climbs to 286,000.
Next to head was Grzegorz Grochulski, he raised from under-the-gun and Farid Jattin called from the small blind. The action at the T♣5♣6♠ flop went, check, bet, call. The A♠ fell at the turn, Grochulski jammed for 80,000 with A♥9♣ and Jattin snap called with pocket fives. The inconsequential 2♦ completed the board.
After that hand Jattin is as much as 470,000. A BRIEF pause now as they redraw for the overall three tables. --NW
6:35pm: Ivarrson not invincibleLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
This could be the one pot this blogger has seen Alexander Ivarsson lose. He opened to 15,000 within the cutoff and got a choice from the large blind of Gleb Tremzin.
The flop fell 2♣6♥5♦ and Tremzin checked, letting Ivarrson continue for 15,000 yet again. Tremzin then three-bet to 42,000 and got a call.
The turn came the T♥ and Tremzin shoved for 146,000. Ivarsson had a choice but in spite of everything he'd fold. --JS
6:30pm: Chidwick wakes up with a double-upLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Stephen Chidwick have been relatively quiet for him today, but what's a person presupposed to do if you have a LAG, chip-leading Swede for your left? Cooler him is what.
Chidwick opened to 12,000 off the button after which jammed for 167,000 after Alexander Ivarsson three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. Call.
Ivarsson: A♥Q♦Chidwick: A♠K♠
The board ran 7♦J♥J♦4♣5♥ to look the big-slick hold. --MC
Chidwick chips up
6:25pm: Ignat dents FranczakLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
We caught the top of a large hand between Liviu Ignat and Piotr Franczak. There has been 50,000 within the middle by the 2 players reached the turn of a 7♣T♥4♣5♣ board. Ignat (big blind) bet 34,000 and Franczak (UTG) called. The river was the 8♦ and Ignat bet again. This time he fired out 85,000 and Franczak tank-called.
The Romanian rolled over K♣3♣ for the turned flush and Franczak mucked. He's all the way down to 225,000 while Ignat is as much as 510,000. --NW
6:25pm: Even more-sen for JorgensenLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Excuse the poor headline however the important thing is we let you know that Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen is as much as 760,000 now.
His latest chip infusion came in a hand against Stefan Jedlicka, who made it 12,500 at the button. Jorgensen three-bet to 36,000 from the large blind and got a choice to peer the Q♥6♥6♠ flop. Both checked and the turn came the 8♣. Jorgensen led out for 25,000 and took it down. --JS
King Theo the 1st
6:20pm: Jorgensen stretches clearLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen has stretched away from the sector on 690,000 after he eliminated Alexander Lakhov in a cooler.
Jorgensen opened to 12,000 and made a fast call after Lakhov three-bet all-in for 160,000 from the following seat.
Jorgensen: Q♦Q♠Lakhov: J♣J♦
The board ran A♥T♦4♥5♥7♣ to soundly see the queens home. --MC
6:15pm: New level; 26 remainLevel 16 - Blinds 3,000/6,000 (1,000 ante)
Blinds bigger. Antes, too. Bubble closer. Stay tuned! --MH
6:10pm: Neuville plays with chips, gets Gruissem to foldLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
"It's no coincidence he made the WSOP November Nine," said Charlie Carrel after this one, and we need to say he might need some degree. You see, it folded to Pierre Neuville within the small blind and he just completed to 5,000. Philipp Gruissem then raised it to 12,000 and Neuville just started riffling his chips. He hadn't announced a reraise or anything, but Gruissem mucked his hand. --JS
Respect for the ability of Pierre
6:05pm: No long ago for ZhaoLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Action folded around to Dong Zhao at the button and he opened shoved for 72,000. Next to behave was Christophe Larquemin he called the all-in and the massive blind folded.
Zhao: K♠9♣Larquemin: K♣K♦
The 6♣5♣6♠9♥Q♦ board meant the cowboys held up. The stacks were very close, but Zhao was left with 2,500. Unsurprisingly he didn't spin it up and was out a few hands later. --NW
6:05pm: Share the aces around will you Table 2!Level 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
More aces at Table 2 and more preflop all-in showdowns. No double-up this time, though, as Roman Korenev hit the rail after running into an opponent's rockets two hands in a row. On this case, he and Charlie Carrel got the chips in preflop.
Koronev: 9♦9♠Carrel: A♥A♦
The board ran J♥Q♥T♥4♥5♣ to make Carrel a flush. Once the turn was dealt Koronev leapt out of his seat and made a hasty exit.
"He was in a rush to depart"! commented Farid Jattin, but one can't blame the Russian for desirous to get of here fast after running onto aces twice to bust only a table or so off the money. Carrel, meanwhile, moved as much as 315,000. --MC
6pm: Finger busts to JattinLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
From the hijack Farid Jattin opened to 11,500 and it passed to Martin Finger, who was at the button. The German shoved for 101,500 and Jattin tank-called.
Finger: T♥8♥Jattin: K♠Q♦
The K♦J♥4♦6♠7♣ board didn't save Finger and he's out. Just 28 remain -- eight off the money. --NW
5:55pm: Ivarsson's dominance continues; hits miracle river to bust VeghinasLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
A three-bet pot had already been built between chip leader Alexander Ivarsson and Sebastian Veghinas -- who you may also remember from the Barcelona equivalent of this tournament where he stood out for his loud, playful, occasionally brash table talk -- by the point the 9♥9♠8♣ flop landed.
Veghinas put out a gamble of 30,000 and Ivarsson moved all-in. The Romanian got him to install the 30,000 after which asked the dealer to spread the pot so he could get a greater idea of his pot odds with 94,000 behind. He looked as much as the ceiling as he did his maths after which made the call, and what a choice it was.
Veghinas - A♦K♦Ivarsson - Q♥J♣
Ivarsson had just queen-high with a gutshot, so it needed to be a queen, jack or ten at the river. The T♦ landed and Veghinas quietly made his exit, while Ivarsson gave a silent fist bump. He's as much as 681,000 now. --JS
5:50pm: Third time lucky for HallLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Aces often is the best starting hand in hold'em but that does not mean squat if you cannot get them to carry. Cate Hall has already suffered that pain twice today, but thankfully for her she didn't score an unwanted hat-trick.
She shoved for 52,500 with A♥A♣ and Roman Korenev, who had opened to 11,000, called the additional with K♣J♥. A 5♥8♣3♣ board hit the felt. "I DO NOT even need to know how that is going to happen," said Charlie Carrel. The T♦ turn meant Hall had a lock at the hand and the J♣ completed the board.
So Hall's as much as around 115,000 while Korenev is right down to 65,000. --NW
5:50pm: Kisacikoglu loses race to JedlickaLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Orpen Kisacikoglu is the most recent to bust. He opened to 11,000 and faced a three-bet to 27,500 from Stefan Jedlicka on his left. Back on Kisacikoglu, he shoved for 162,000 total and Jedlicka made the call.
Kisacikoglu - A♦K♦Jedlicka - 8♠8♦
There'd be no help for the person from Turkey at the 5♠9♦T♠Q♥2♠ runout and he made his exit.
"Good luck guys," he said to Charlie Carrel and Ben Heath who were stood up behind him, half-watching the hand and half-discussing the sick hand during which Ben Heath cracked Oleg Titov's pocket aces (see just below, 5:45pm).
"Oh, GG," replied Carrel. "Are you playing tomorrow?" Carrel asked, regarding probably the most many turbos which are running at the last day of the festival. Kisacikoglu confirmed he would be.
Orpen out
Meanwhile, Jedlicka is as much as 354,000 now. --JS
5:45pm: Heath charging up the countsLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Ben Heath was getting short earlier, but he just eliminated Oleg Titov to peer his stack grow to a near chip-leading 530,000. We missed the action however the chips went in on a 6♦2♣K♦ flop.
Heath: A♦2♦ for a couple and flush drawTitov: A♠A♥ for the pair
The board ran out 2♥4♥ to make Heath trips, but Titov had obviously been anti-sweating diamonds and had thought he'd doubled. He took it well when it was mentioned after which predicted Heath will win the development. --MC
Heath on a heater
5:40pm: Merivirta cracks acesLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Jyri Merivirta was all-in for his final 87,000 with 8♣8♦, and the Pole was in bad shape against Stefan Jedlicka's A♠A♣.
The 5♥4♥J♣ flop kept Jedlicka within the lead, however the 8♥ turn meant Merivirta turned a collection to take the lead. The 2♠ river kept the shorter stack within the lead and he doubled up. After that hand Jedlicka drops to 138,000. --NW
5:35pm: Finger makes another move, finally ends up doubling CarrelLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
It's not been an excellent level up to now for Martin Finger. As he said within the last reported hand with him, he's making some moves, problem is they don't seem to be working out.
Charlie Carrel made min-raised to 10,000 and Farid Jattin called at the button, as did Finger from the large blind. The flop fell T♣7♠9♦ and Finger checked, letting Carrel continue for 20,000. Jattin folded, and Finger asked for a count. Carrel didn't say anything but stacked his chips in some way that made it easy to spot his remaining chips -- 75,500. Finger then slid in a stack of 80,000 which was essentially an all-in.
"Hmmmmm..." said Carrel, as he slid off his headphones. He rested his head within the palm of his hand and stared at Finger then back on the board. "There are only too many..."
He trailed off because he had made the call, but it's safe to imagine he was about to mention there have been simply too many draws available in the market. He was right, as his K♠T♠ for high pair was sooner than Finger's Q♦J♣ up-and-down straight draw.
The turn was the 9♣ and the river the 3♦, and Carrel doubled to 187,000 while Finger dropped to 147,500. --JS
5:30pm: Don't mess with TheoLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
Theo Jorgensen's won a boxing match before -- mess with him at your peril. Stefan Jedlicka tried just that and is 188,000 chips poorer as a result.
Jedlicka opened the pot with a 10,500 raise from first position. The Team PokerStars Pro was two seats along and three-bet to 27,000. Jedlicka called and checked over a 5♦3♣9♠ flop that was c-bet for 25,000. Jedlicka called that, too, but had different plans for the 7♣ turn. After Jorgensen bet 50,000 he check-raised to 137,000 but needed to give up and fold once his Danish opponent jammed for 255,000. Jedlicka dropped to 210,000. --MC
5:25pm: Heath eliminates YanLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
There can be no back-to-back high roller titles for David Yan as he's just been eliminated in 35th place. In his final hand, Roman Korenev opened from middle position, Yan shoved for 103,000, Ben Heath re-raised all-in and everybody else folded.
Yan: 9♠9♣Heath: A♠K♣
The window card wbecause the K♣ and it didn't get any better for Yan as the board ran T♣K♦5♦8♠, Heath is as much as around 440,000. --NW
Yan down
5:25pm: Moving FingerLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)
When it got to Martin Finger within the small blind there have been no action in front of him. He glanced over to Pierre Neuville on his left within the big blind and decided simply to limp. The Belgian then casually tossed out an extra 12,000, bringing the bet as much as 17,000, and Finger then raised it as much as 40,000. Neuville shoved and Finger instantly folded.
Afterwards, he cracked just a little smile. "I made a move," he told his tablemates, several of whom began to giggle. "I made a move." --JS
5:20pm: Ivarssson in controlLevel 15 - Blinds 2,500/5,000 (500 ante)

Alexander Ivarsson has reassumed control of items here after losing the lead for a short time to Cristian Egues and Armando Collado earlier.

In a hand that extended well into the break, Alexander Ivarsson won a sizeable pot against Piotr Franczak.
The exact preflop bet sizing is unknown, however it was a three-bet pot with Ivarsson having position.
On the K♦6♣4♦ flop, Ivarsson bet 30,000 and Franczak called. The 9♠ turn was checked through and the 4♣ completed the board. Franczak bet 65,000 and Ivarsson tank-called.

4:55pm: Big double-up for Heath, courtesy of YanLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
We just had ourselves an excellent ol' fashioned war, of the preflop raising variety. It started with David Yan making it 8,000 within the cutoff. Ben Heath was at the button and three-bet to 23,500, which Yan then four-bet to 45,500. Heath insta-shoved for 140,000 total and Yan made the call.
Yan - A♠K♥Heath - 5♣5♦
The flop and switch were nice and occasional for Heath's hand -- 2♣4♠7♠3♣. The river was a face card, nevertheless it was the Q♥ and that won it for the Brit, who now has around 290,000 while Yan drops to roughly 120,000. --JS

The board ran 5♥Q♥2♠5♦8♦ to pair Hall's eight at the river. --MC
Hall hangs in
4:45pm: Yan's turn to take oneLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
Win this event and it will be double-high roller glory for David Yan in Malta, as he's already won the €25K High Roller here. He's got some distance to visit cash, not to mention win it, but a contemporary pot did his possibilities of both no harm at all.
He defended his big ignorant of a cutoff raise from Stefan Jedlicka and the 2 of them saw an A♥8♣2♥ flop hit the felt. The Austrian c-bet 7,500 and Yan smooth called. The 4♣ turn was where the action heated up with Jedlicka betting again, this time 22,000 and Yan check-raising to 63,000. Although Jedlicka got a count he never really seemed like calling, and he ceded the pot to Yan.
The New Zealander is as much as 265,000 after that hand, while Jedlicka drops to 320,000. --NW
4:45pm: Ignat felts O'Dwyer and MetaalLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
It's double-elimination time. First it folded to Steve O'Dwyer within the hijack and he shoved for 38,000. Then Govert Metaal reshoved for around 82,000. Liviu Ignat was within the small blind and he announced call, the massive blind folded and the cards were on their backs:
Ignat - A♠Q♠Metaal - A♦9♦O'Dwyer - A♥T♣
Three aces, but Ignat had the most productive kicker and it will finally end up winning him the pot because the board ran out K♦2♣J♥2♦4♥. Both gents made their exits while Ignat stacked up roughly 329,000. --JS
Metaal felted

With little over the starting stack, Ole Schemion shoved for 57,000 when it folded to him. Charlie Carrel then re-shoved for around 70,000 and everybody else folded.
Schemion - K♣J♥Carrel - A♦J♦
It was domination nation as they'd say on EPT Live. The 6♦A♠T♠ flop paired Carrel, but did give Schemion some gutshot outs. However, the A♥ turn and 9♥ river didn't improve the German's hand and he made his exit one fist bump at a time. Carrel is as much as around 134,000 now. --JS
Schemion and his eventual vanquisher Carrel from earlier within the day
4:35pm: Set the trap, fall into the trapLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
That's just what happened to Cate Hall. She set a trap with aces, but ended up feeding Pierre Neuville a double-up.
Felix Stephensen opened to 8,500 from under the gun and was called by Hall from two seats along, then Neuville called to boot from the cutoff. The flop spread 2♦6♦8♠ and the action was checked to Neuville who moved all-in for 48,000. Stephensen folded, but Hall snap-called and opened A♥A♣.
It was a pleasant play, but her Belgian opponent had flopped a collection with 6♠6♣ and survived the 2♣T♣ turn and river. Hall is deep in it now with 27,500 remaining. --MC
4:30pm: No back-to-back for DrinanLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
Back in August, Connor Drinan won the equivalent of this event at EPT Barcelona, but he just lost a race to bust this one. Gleb Tremzin was the person who got him, the Russian opened to 10,000 from the hijack, Drinan made it 27,500 at the button, Tremzin set the yankee all-in and Drinan quickly called.
Tremzin: A♥K♦Drinan: J♣J♠
"Jacks aren't any good on this tournament," joked Tremzin, but he was right because the K♣A♦9♠4♥6♥ board favoured him and eliminated Drinan. After that hand he's as much as 280,000. --NW
Drinan done in
4:25pm: Two in a row for the Team ProLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
Theo Jorgensen, the one PokerStars Team Pro who entered this event, has just won consecutive pots to bring his stack over the 40-big blind mark.
In the primary he opened to 8,500 within the cutoff and got calls from Hari Bercovici within the small blind and Jyri Merivirta from the massive. The 3 saw a 4♣8♣J♣ flop and it checked to Jorgensen, but there could be no c-bet.
That meant we went to the turn and it was a fourth club within the 6♣. Everyone checked again to the 9♠ river. Now Bercovici took a stab for 16,000 which removed Merivirta but didn't shake off Jorgensen. He called, but we never saw his hand as Bercovici mucked instantly.
Jorgsensen was as much as 150,000 after that one, but he took down the following pot, too. Georgios Zisimopoulos opened to 8,000 and Jorgensen three-bet to 25,000 and took it down. --JS
Theo in thought
4:25pm: Big pot for FranczakLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
On single cards the fortunes of players on this high roller can turn, and this was clearly illustrated today in a hand between Piotr Franczak and Steve O'Dwyer.
The Polish player raised to 10,000 from under the gun, O'Dwyer called at the button, then Govert Meetal came along from the massive blind.
On the 8♣T♥4♠ flop Franczak bet 15,000 and O'Dwyer was the one caller. The 6♠ fell on fourth street, Franczak bogged down as he checked the action to O'Dwyer. The Irishman bet 27,000 and Franczak called. The 9♣ completed the board and curiously Franczak went back to being the aggressor. He fired out a gamble of 60,000, and O'Dwyer got a count after which called.
"Straight," said Franczak and he opened A♣7♥ to show he'd hit his gutshot at the river. O'Dwyer flipped 8♠8♦ to turn that the Pole had hit a four-outer to win the pot. After that hand Franczak is as much as 297,000 while O'Dwyer is right down to around 50,000. --NW

4:15pm: Finger flicks Kozlov awayLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
Martin Kozlov wasn't in a position to double for a second hand this last hour. There has been no waiting until the river as all his chips went in preflop.
Finger had opened from the cutoff and Kozlov jammed from the small blind. Call.
Kozlov: 5♥5♦Finger: A♦J♦
The board ran K♥K♠9♦Q♦J♠ to pair Finger's jack to transport him as much as 340,000. --MC
Finger pointed within the right direction
4:10pm: Ivarsson again challenges for leadLevel 14 - Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)
The action folded to Poland's Piotr Franczak at the button and he made a giant opening raise. The quantity was 17,500 -- greater than four times the large blind -- and after Stephen Chidwick folded the small blind the action was on overnight chip leader Alexander Ivarsson. He made a three-bet to 42,000, and Franczak called to look a flop.
It fell 2♣6♠J♣ and Ivarsson continued, this time for rather less at 32,000. Franczak called again and the turn came the 7♦. Ivarsson didn't decelerate making it 60,000, and that was enough to get Franczak to surrender. He drops to 193,000, while Ivarsson has neared what leader Cristian Egues has with an enormous stack of 522,000. --JS
4pm: Classic race goes to IsraelLevel 14: Blinds 2,000/4,000 (500 ante)

3:50pm: Egues elevates above the packLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
"That's the primary time I've gotten lucky."
So said Cristian Egues today to Philipp Gruissem following a hand wherein Egues knocked out Preben Stokkan.
The hand began with a Egues open from the button to 7,000, called by Stokkan from the small blind. The flop rolled out K♠T♥8♥, Stokkan checked, Egues bet 10,000, Stokkan made it 25,000, Egues shoved, and Stokkan called.
Stokkan had king-queen and the threshold against Egues's king-jack, and the case king approaching the turn didn't change that. But a jack at the end did, giving Egues an entire house and sending Stokkan out.
"You have so much now," continued Gruissem. "How much?"
"Near five?" guessed Egues. A BETTER look shows he has towards 545,000. Lucky or no, Egues is leading with 42 left. --MH
3:45pm: Banivecic suffers Panek attackLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
Tomasz Panek has reduced the sector by yet one more to 43 after ousting Vlado Banicevic.

Panek is at 225,000 now. --MH

Felix Stephensen had dropped slightly under 200k, but he won a pot out of position, and without showdown, to rise to 215,000.
The Norwegian Poker champion raised to 7,100 from under the gun and called after Farid Jattin three-bet to 15,000 from the nesxt seat. The flop fanned 7♣Q♥Q♣ and Jattin continued for 13,500. Stephensen check-called before both players checked the K♠ turn. The board completed with the T♦ and Jattin faced a 45,000 bet that he couldn't call and dropped to 157,000. --MC

3:30pm: Chidwick stacks KitaiLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
We just mentioned how Davidi Kitai was short and searching out spots to double-up. At present he tried again, committing his stack of just over 40,000 with 8♣8♦ and needing to carry against the A♥K♣ of Stephen Chidwick sitting to his left.
The 7♥J♣4♦ flop appeared benign for Kitai.
The Q♠ turn wasn't an issue either.
But the T♣ river caused Kitai to sit up straight quickly in his seat, that card filling a Broadway straight for his neighbor. He wished the table well before departing, and Chidwick is now playing 224,000. --MH
Kitai cut down
3:25pm: Fives holds for HeathLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)

3:20pm: Kitai, Hall seeking to make upward movesLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
With 45 players left, they're still 25 off the cash, meaning the quick stacks might want to perform a little work with a view to improve their statuses and advance to the cash and maybe beyond.
Davidi Kitai at present pushed his short stack all-in, getting no callers and continuing with about 40,000 thereafter. Soon after at a neighboring table it was Cate Hall doing the same, also claiming the blinds and antes to continue with about 60,000. --MH
3:10pm: Tough to fold top pairLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
"Tough to fold this hand!" said Felix Stephensen to no person particularly after he faced an all-in from Martin Kozlov.
The two players were heads as much as the river of a 5♠A♣7♠Q♦3♣ board. Around 40,000 lay within the middle and Stephensen checked from the massive unaware of face Kozlov's 25,500 all-in move from the hijack. He called with A♥9♦ and dropped to 207,000 after it was no good against Kozlov's A♣J♠. --MC
Felix not folding
3:10pm: Collado collects with queensLevel 13: Blinds 1,500/3,000 (400 ante)
Armando Collado is now as much as 435,000 and looking out as if he's overtaken the chip lead, thanks partly to his having won another nice pot, this one versus Simon Mattsson.
It was a flip wherein Collado had Q♠Q♣ against Mattson's A♣K♠, and the board came in Collado's prefer to end Mattson's run.
"The ladies like me," said Collado, as he's now stacking 435,000. --MH

The 5♣K♦7♦J♣8♦ runout favored Zhao, and two more are at the rail. --MH
2:10pm: Queens fail GrimaldiLevel 12: Blinds 1,200/2,400 (300 ante)
The hand having ended, Cristian Egues looked around the table at Pasquale Grimaldi and offered a type of consolatory "what-can-you-do-that's-poker" shrugs.
Egues had just knocked out Grimaldi, the latter having committed his stack preflop with Q♥Q♣ versus Egues's A♥Q♦, then watched with dismay the board roll out 7♦A♦4♥A♣T♣ to provide Egues trip aces and the pot.
The pair each extended fists around the table and bumped them, and Grimaldi nodded to all before departing.
Egues is as much as 255,000 now, having greater than tripled his stack thus far today. There are 55 players remaining. --MH

Machon was behind before the community cards came, having K♥T♠ versus Chmielewski's A♠Q♣. But a 9♠K♠6♥6♣T♦ runout kept Machon within the game.
Machon remains to be one of the crucial shortest a number of the 59 players left, though, with about 35,000. Chmielewski now has 165,000. --MH
1:40pm: Collado catching as much as IvarssonLevel 12: Blinds 1,200/2,400 (300 ante)
Through the primary hour of play, start-of-day chip leader Alexander Ivarsson held onto his chip lead as players were eliminated throughout him at a rapid clip.
Alexander wearing the A's cap on Day 2
Ivarsson's nearest challenger to start out the day was Armando Collado who began greater than 120,000 back of Ivarsson. Now in the beginning of the day's second level, Collado has all but evened things between the 2 after collecting a good pot while knocking out Iliodoros Kamatakis.
Collado is up around 375,000 now, that's almost about where Ivarsson remains. --MH

1:25pm: Mateos all the way down to the matLevel 11: Blinds 1,000/2,000 (300 ante)
Adrian Mateos was one of the crucial leaders late on Day 1, but he's become one of the vital eliminated early on Day 2 after a hand versus Roman Korenev near the top of Level 11.
Holding 7♥6♦, Mateos jammed all-in with the board showing 3♦8♣4♥9♣ and was called by Korenev who had A♠K♥. Neither had a pair, and the 4♣ river kept Korenev in front as Mateos hit the rail.
Korenev has about 150,000 now. --MH

While players are being eliminated all about, Marcin Chmielewski just doubled through Cristian Egues to maintain his seat.
Picking up things at the turn with the board showing 4♠5♦2♦K♣, Chmielewski led with a half-pot bet of 16,000, Egues made it 35,000 to go, Chmielewski shoved for 74,200 total, and Egues called.
Egues had K♠9♠ for high pair, but Chmielewski's A♥K♦ also gave him top pair with a greater kicker, and after the T♥ completed the board he stacked up around 180,000. Egues now has 115,000. --MH

After taking 14th typically Event, he soon found himself in a three-way all-in situation following a 7♦6♠4♠ flop versus Joris Ruijs and Cristian Egues.
Pollak had A♣J♥ and was in bad shape though still drawing live against Joris Ruijs's 9♥9♠ and Egues's 7♣5♦. However the turn was the 7♥ to provide Egues trips, and after the 4♥ river he won the hand and both Pollak and Ruijs were eliminated.
