As we were ready to walk back up to the media room as the break had just started, we stopped by the last table as action was still going on between Joao Vieira and Juha Helppi. In what turned out to be a five-bet pot Vieira had 71,300 in front of him acting out of the small blind position. Helppi thought about it for some time before calling in the cutoff.
The 
contained at least one card interesting both players. The clock ticked away well into the break and Vieira bet out 33,000. Helppi called after some thinking of his own, and the dealer put the 
on the turn. Vieira now checked, and folded after Helppi bet out 50,000.
You could tell by Helppi's smile that something was going on. Vieira asked if Helppi didn't maybe want to show his cards. At first Helppi was resistent, but eventually he let Vieira pick one card. Vieira chose one of the cards and Helppi showed the 
with a big grin on his face.
The hand was interesting, but it did take a while to finish...
Watching a hand go into break at my table where each bet has averaged 2 minutes of thought beforehand. It was 5 bet preflop so zzzFollow @subiime

With around 40,000 in chips in the pot and the flop reading 
, Stephen Chidwick checked his option from the small blind. Christoph Vogelsang bet out 17,000 from the cut off and was called.
The 
on the turn saw Chidwick check again prompting Vogelsang to reach for his chips and slide out another 45,000. Chidwick thought for a minute before making the call before the dealer produced the 
on the river.
Chidwick checked one last time sending Vogelsang into the tank. A minute passed before he moved all in for around 250,000 in chips and was instantly called.
Vogelsang turned over his 
for a missed straight before Chidwick tabled his 
for a set and the winning hand.
Chidwick had Vogelsang covered on the river and moves up to 770,000 in chips following the hand.

Vicente Delgado raised and two further players including Sorel Mizzi in the big blind called. The Canadian bet 10,000 on the 
flop and Delgado raised to 28,000, Mizzi called to see the on the turn. The Canadian now fired 45,000 and Delgado checked his stack carefully before making the call with approximately 80,000 chips behind.
The on the river triggered the all in bet of Mizzi with the superior stack and Delgado called off before mucking his cards when he was shown 
for two pair by Mizzi.

On a flop of 
we saw Stephen Chidwick bet out 8,500 from the under-the-gun position. Since it's a 5-handed table, Jani Sointula on the button wasn't far away. The long time grinding Fin made the call and the 
popped up on the river. Chidwick checked and Sointula bet out 13,000. Chidwick took his time before raising to 31,000. Sointula called.
The 
completed the board and Chidwick bet out 300,000, effectively putting Sointula to the test for his remaining 90,000. After some hefty thinking, while table mates Vogelsang, Schemion and Adams discussed a hand played not long ago (where Adams folded and Vogelsang claimed he had aces), Sointula folded.
