Shirley Ang

Six players returned at 1 p.m. local time for the official final table of Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck. With 20 unique players and 22 reentries, a prize pool of $2,100,000 was collected which means that all six of them have made the money. First place will pay out $756,000 to the winner while all six players have secured at least $105,000.

The fifth final table during the Super High Roller Bowl Europe series sees Ivan Leow sitting in pole position with 3,870,000 in chips. Leow is joined by Seth Davies and Santi Jiang in the top three while Timofey Kuznetsov, Paul Phua, and Chris Brewer are also still battling for all the pay jumps.

1	Paul Phua	Malaysia	1,270,000	64
2	Santi Jiang	Spain	2,320,000	116
3	Seth Davies	United States	2,670,000	134

5	Timofey Kuznetsov	Russia	1,485,000	74
6	Chris Brewer	United States	985,000	49

While this is the first final table for Leow, fellow countryman Phua is here for the second time. But for Davies, Jiang, and Brewer, this will be their third shot at grabbing a title this week!

They have just under 24 minutes left in Level 13 which has an ante of 20,000 while the button pays a double ante of 40,000. The level duration will remain at 40 minutes each and play will continue until a new champion has been crowned.

The final table won't be streamed on PokerGO as the plan was to broadcast a $200/$400 cash game to take place at the same time with players like Tony G, Leon Tsoukernik, and Rob Yong. This cash game has been moved to 3 p.m. local time (for now).

The PokerNews live reporting team will be focusing on Event #6: $100,000 NLH but will occasionally update on the progress of the final table.
