The traditionally standard Michael Tureniec raise and Per Linde called the 180,000. The 
saw Linde check-call a bet of 200,000 before both checked the 
turn only for Linde to lead for 400,000 on the 
river.
Tureniec thought for about 30 seconds but called and Linde flipped 
for a rivered straight. Can Linde go on from there?
Back-to-back three-bets had us excited in the press room. First Tureniec raised the button and faced a three-bet from Linde for around 500,000. Tureniec folded. The very next hand it was Linde who made the button raise (a minimum 160,000) and Tureniec who made the three-bet (425,000). Fold.
Two hands later and Linde min-raised again. This time Tureniec flat called and we got to see a flop of 
. They both checked said flop, but Tureniec bet out on the 
turn and forced a fold from Linde.
Per Linde and Michael Tureniec have agreed to a regular break rather than a long dinner break. It looks like Tureniec can survive on complimentary orange juice cartons alone. Back in 15 minutes.

Per Linde started off with a min-raise to 200,000 and Michael Tureniec immediately 3-bet to 525,000 and Linde relinquished his hand.
Tureniec also picked up the next hand with a button raise.
Linde minraised again from the button and again Tureniec made it 525,000 in the big blind, Linde called this time. The flop was 
and Tureniec bet 450,000 and that was enough to get it through. It's all the chip leader at the start of this level.
Tureniec got the blinds in the next hand with a 225,000 raise.
Linde raised to 200,000 once more and Tureniec chose a call this time to see the monotone flop of 
. It was checked to Linde who bet 250,000 and Tureniec called giving us a 
turn. After a Tureniec check, Linde bet 600,000 - "That's a pretty strong bet," said Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly on the commentary. Tureniec also thought so and folded his hands.
Michael Tureniec made it 225,000 from the button, swiftly called by Per Linde. Linde check-called 300,000 on the 
flop before checking again on the turn; this time Tureniec checked behind. Faced with a river Linde bet out 600,000, and Tureniec opted to fold his hand.
Two hands later and Linde got the better of Tureniec again, this time three-betting to 600,000 after Tureniec's opening raise to 225,000. Tureniec let him have it (the pot, that is), and Linde is now back over the 5 million mark.
Of the flopless pots which have characterised the last 15 minutes, Michael Tureniec has won a few more than Per Linde, but they seem to be equally matched, taking turns to raise and three-bet each other. They do not seem keen to get it in and hope for the best, but they're playing faster than is usual in the latter stages of a final table, in the sense of more hands per hour. This stops the non-showdown nature of their heads up game at the moment being as tiresome as some.
Michael Tureniec opened to 225,000 and Per Linde made the call, but the action ceased then all the way to the river of a 
river. We didn't see the cards but it looked as thought Tureniec might have picked this hand up with maybe 
but we're not sure.
Another button min-raise from Per Linde and another call from Michael Tureniec; they were soon looking at an 
flop. Tureniec checked and Linde continuation-bet 250,000. But Tureniec now check-raised to 650,000. Linde had a quick peek at his hole cards, but presumably found them not to his liking - he folded, and Tureniec took the pot.
