2:20pm: Marc Foggin eliminated in eighth place (€ 16,840)
Level 28 - Blinds 40,000/80,000 (10,000 ante)
The theme of big hands clashing at this final table has continued and this time it led to an elimination. From under-the-gun Marc Foggin raised with [Ah][Kd], this was the first hand the Geordie had played at the final table. That didn't stop Samuel Vousden three-betting with [Js][Jd] from under-the-gun+2. He made it 440,000 to go and although Mark Reilly - with [As][9d] - and Vladas Tamasauskas - with [Ks][7s] - looked interested, they both folded.
With action back on Foggin, who had 24 big blinds back, he took his time before moving all in and after getting a count, Vousden called. Although this was a traditional flip, due to an ace and a king being folded Vousden was actually a 65%-35% favourite to win the hand.
The board ran [Qs][6s][8d][8c][tc] and Foggin is the first man out at the final table, whilst Vousden is now the chip leader.
Samuel Vousden, 6,315,000
Marc Foggin, 0

2:05pm: Mark Reilly doubles through Adalsteinn Karlsson
Level 27 - Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000 ante)
It's been a nightmare start to the final table for Adalsteinn Karlsson as he just doubled up Mark Reilly. But, as you'll see below there's not a lot he could do about it.
Karlsson raised to 150,000 with [Ac][Kh], Vladas Tamasauskas, smooth called with [Ah][Th] and Reilly then moved all-in for 785,000 with [9s][9d]. Back on Karlsson he re-raised to isolate and Tamasauskas let his hand go.
This classic race actually wasn't as both Smauel Vousden and Tamasauskas folded an ace meaning Reilly was a 60-40 favourite. The [3h][Td][3c][Qh][6s] board kept him in front and he doubled to around 1,800,000.
Adalsteinn Karlsson, 2,970,000
Mark Reilly, 1,800,000
1:57pm: Karlsson and Tamasauskas clash again
Level 27 - Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000 ante)
Seconds out round two! Two hands after they clashed in a big pot Adalsteinn Karlsson and Vladas Tamasauskas played another pot against each other. The Icelander looked down at [9s][9h] and raised it up 150,000 from under-the-gun+2, Tamasauskas three-bet to 395,000 and Karlsson smooth called.
On the [Qd][Jd][Jh] flop Karlsson elected to lead for 475,000 and after a brief dwell Tamasauskas folded.
1:54pm: Aces for Tamasauskas
Level 27 - Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000 ante)
Big hands and big pots in the opening few minutes of this final table. Adalsteinn Karlsson picked up [8s][8d] (cut off) and raised to 150,000. Tamasauskas found [Ad][Ac] in the small blind and three-bet to 440,000, Foggin folded [Ah][7h] big blind. Karlsson, smooth calls.
[Kc][5d][6c] "Pretty sweet flop for Tamasauskas," said Joe Stapleton in the booth. Tamasauskas bet 385,000 and Karlsson made the call. "He's really calling hoping his opponent shuts down," opined Stapleton. The [4h] fell on the turn giving Karlsson a gutshot straight draw, Tamasauskas bet 880,000 and Karlsson gave it up. After just three hands the start of day chip leader is now fifth in chips, whilst Tamasauskas is the chip leader.
Vladas Tamasauskas, 5,450,000
Adalsteinn Karlsson, 3,215,000
1:47pm: First pot to Vousden
Level 27 - Blinds 30,000/60,000 (10,000 ante)
The first pot has gone to Samuel Vousden, the Finnish pro flopping a full-house no less.
He opened to 150,000 from the hijack with [Kh][Qh] and picked up calls from Adalsteinn Karlsson and Jelcides Monteiro in the blinds.
The [Qc][Ks][Qs] flop was a doozy for Vousden, he bet 150,000, Karlsson stuck around with [5s][5h] but Monteiro, who had [7h][6h], got out of the way.
A 650,000 bet from Vousden on the [6d] turn was enough to win the pot. He's now second in chips.
