Analysis: Bystrenin Dictating the Tempo
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
It's been a tentative start at the final table for pretty much everyone apart from Oleg Bystrenin and perhaps Tom Orpaz. Even though Adrian Garcia was responsible for the only elimination so far, Bystrenin has been opening regularly from various positions on the table to try and dictate the tempo with such a big stack and commanding chip lead.
And he could have eliminated Jonas Ten Cate as a result of this aggression, were it not for an ace on the river to save the Dutchman.
Meanwhile, Orpaz is looking to regain the chip lead he lost to Bystrenin prior to the final table, and has overtaken Saam Pishvaie to occupy second in the chip counts.
888poker's Lucia Navarro and Ricardo Mateus had been pretty quiet, until just now went Navarro doubled up Jaime Pedraza, but there's still a long way to go with eight remaining in the 888poker LIVE Madrid Main Event.

Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
