The "live" feed has returned, meaning that exactly two hours ago the four remaining contenders sat down and commenced preparations for one of them being crowned EPT Grand Final champion.
In just a few minutes we'll get to see what's been happening, and we're going to get to see their hole cards and everything. Please stand by.
On the two hour delay, Thomas Kremser has spoken. Ladies and gentlemen, this four-way is underway.
First hand back, chip leader Ivan Freitez raised to 250,000 under the gun - with 
. Everyone folded.
Hole card cameras are amazing.
It folded around to Ivan Freitez in the small blind and he raised to 260,000 holding 
. Torsten Brinkmann called in the big blind - he didn't know, but we do, that he was dominating with 
.
Nevertheless they saw a 
flop and Freitez took it down with a 350,000 bet.
Freitez has started this four-handed final table with a huge no-showdown show of aggression. He's up around 2 million chips already, picking up, for example a button raise (255,000) picked up a quick pot, as did his subsequent three-bet with 
.
Probably the most interesting example of his brakes-off aggression with a twist of weird preflop flat-call of a three-bet came next though: Freitez raised with 
, three-bet out of position by Torsten Brinkmann in the blind (680,000). He called.
The flop: . This was interesting because Brinkmann held 
- the nut flush draw. Brinkmann led for 680,000, which Freitez raised to 1,500,000. Brinkmann called.
The turn: 
. Now Brinkmann checked and Freitez set his opponent all in. He passed.
Freitez is over 11,000,000 and firmly in control.

Ivan Freitez min-raised under the gun with 
and Torsten Brinkmann, undeterred by losing over 2 million in that last hand, flat-called with 
on the button. It was all over on the flop this time - Freitez flopped two pair (
) and bet out 350,000. Brinkmann snap-folded, and it was yet another pot for Freitez.
Next hand, Freitez got a walk. He's won every single hand so far.
