: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ladies and gentlemen, the official EPT Berlin final table has been set and it should be an absolute cracker when it kicks off tomorrow at 12:00 CET.
Day 4 started with 24 players and in less than five 75-minute levels they were whittled do to just eight. The man who is in pole position when play does resume is Davidi Kitai of Belgium who ended the day with a tournament leading stack of 5,695,000.
Kitai went on a real heater towards the end of the night to fly up the chips counts. First he got paid off when he held 
on a board reading 
then he was the man responsible for completing the day. He saw Jordi Riba Corrons move all in with what turned out to be 
and Kitai woke up with 
. By the river the board read 
and with that the final table was set.
Kitai's nearest rival is Bahadir Kilickeser on 4,640,000 then Andrew Chen on 3,600,000. The rest of the final table is made up of Mario Puccini (2,065,000), [Removed:284] (1,940,000), Cesar Garcia Dominquez (1,485,000), Marc Wright (1,540,000) and Pratyush Buddiga (1,280,000).
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will bring you all the action from the Hyatt hotel but it will be on a 60-minute delay due to the fact the conclusion of EPT Berlin is going to be streamed, with holecards, on the internet. This stream will also be on a 60-minute delay for those of you who are interested.
Congratulations to everyone who made it to the final table and commiserations to those who did not. Until tomorrow afternoon we bid you goodnight and farewell.
