The announcement has been made that players will now be taking a 15 minute dinner break, which doesn't sound right at all. We suspect that they actually mean a one hour dinner break. Either way, we'll be back soon so don't go anywhere...
BREAKING NEWS
The dinner break will last for 45 minutes. Back at 20.45 CET.
From the small blind, Francesco De Vivo opened to 150,000. In the big blind, Anton Wigg three-bet it right up to 425,000. After a little pause for effect, De Vivo four-bet to 1.075 million. Wigg shipped it in over the top, and De Vivo quickly called all in for his total stack of 2.92 million. With another monstrous pot up for grabs, the cards were on their backs:
De Vivo:
Wigg:
The board was a blank slate for Wigg's come-from-behind hopes. It ran out , holding De Vivo's kings. With that pot, he has doubled his way into the chip lead with 5.855 million!
Anton Wigg raised his button again and this time both players called. Curious.
The flop read and it checked to Wigg who bet. Klein called, although de Vivo passed. Curiouser and curiouser.
The two remaining players saw a turn but they checked it, and they checked the river too. Wigg turned over for a flopped pair of tend - and once Klein had mucked, Wigg took the pot.
By the by, the stacks are beginning to even up ever so slightly. De Vivo and Klein are currently on just short of 3 million apiece, while Wigg is down to around 6.7 million.
Anton Wigg raised to 140,000 on the button and called a reraise to 335,000 from Morten Klein in the small blind.
After a promising start to the hand, though, things quickly went downhill. Both players checked the flop and come the turn Klein bet out 160,000. Wigg immediately folded and Klein took the pot, to applause from a single railer.
Anton Wigg on the button made it 140,000 and Francesco de Vivo called in the big blind.
Action!
Well, no, not really. They made it all the way to the river of the without anything much happening, until de Vivo bet out 200,000 on the river. Wigg gave it up, and that was the end of that.
Blind on blind, Yorane Kerignard and Anton Wigg saw a flop. Kerignard checked and then called a 225,000 bet from Wigg to see a on the the turn, which they both checked. They checked the on the river and Kerignard turned over . Wigg however turned over that had got there on the river, and took the pot.
Thus there was some history between them when the very next hand Kerignard raised to 150,000 on the button. Wigg made it 355,000 from the small blind, Kerignard shoved for 2.475 million and Wigg called without a second's delay.
Kerignard:
Wigg:
Board:
As we go three-handed, Anton Wigg is in possession of around 8 million in chips - that's two thirds of the chips in play. Maybe we'll get an early night after all.
Under the gun, Yorane Kerignard opened the pot to 150,000. Richard Loth put his last 40,000 chips into the pot, and Francesco De Vivo made the call from the big blind as well.
The board ran out with the two live players checking it down the whole way. De Vivo showed queen-jack, and neither of his opponents could show anything better.
Unable to beat a pair of queens, Richard Loth has been relieved of the remainder of his chips, making his exit in fifth place. He'll pocket 715,000 DKK for his work this week.
