The Final Table Is Set; That's All For Day Three
![[user92162]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The play differed in tempo across the day. We started out with the usual rush of bust-outs that occurs after the bubble has burst, but then things slowed dramatically. The snails pace continued until the final two hours of the day, where we once again had a string of eliminations to bring us up to the final table.
The sole local representative at the final table will be Mark Pagsuyuin. He'll enter the final table seventh in chips with 497,000.
The chipleader Sim Somyung has 1,442,000. His nearest rival is David Hilton with 995,000. Amazingly, two New Zealanders -- Kevin Clark and Phillip Willcocks, possibly the only New Zealanders in the field -- will line up amongst our final nine.
The counts for all remaining players and their seating order around the table are as follows:
Final Table
Seat 1: Mark Pagsuyuin (497,000)
Seat 2: Sim Somyung (1,442,000)
Seat 3: David Hilton (995,000)
Seat 4: Terry Fan (610,000)
Seat 5: Alexandr Tikholiz (231,000)
Seat 6: Phillip Willcocks (791,000)
Seat 7: Dong-bin Han (862,000)
Seat 8: Nick Pronk (563,000)
Seat 9: Kevin Clark (191,000)
You can join us for all the action at 12:15pm (GMT+8) tomorrow. Until then, goodbye!

Poluzhnikov:
A large crowd gathered around, cheering on their local hope.
The flop was
. This brought a small cheer from the crowd. The turn was the
which saw a bigger cheer. But the loudest roar was reserved for the river 
which made a set of Pagsuyuin, and banished Poluzhnikov to the status of final table bubble boy.
Beng Hong (Jo) Ker Eliminated in 11th Place ($8,200)
from the cutoff and David Hilton called from the big blind with 
.The board ran out
and Ker will leave with $8,200 for his efforts.
Pronk Ends the Affair
. Pronk was in the small blind and raised to 60,000 after Mark "Last Filipino" Pagsuyuin limped into the pot. Pagsuyuin called, giving Pronk first action on the flop. Pronk moved in, a large over-bet, and took the pot down right there.We're still looking or two eliminations to end the day. It now looks like we will go into Level 22 before we get there.
Hilton Runs Good... Again
This time Hilton three-bet all in with
and the original raiser Dong-Bin Han made the call with .The flop came
bringing salvation for Hilton. The turn 
and river 
both blanked, sending 710,000 chips to Hilton, and dropping Han to 685,000 in the process.
Nam Le Eliminated in 12th Place ($8,200)
. Action passed to the last Filipino in the field, Mark Pagsuyuin, who attempted to take Le out with

River Saves Nam Le
in for his final 240,000 and was called by Nick Pronk with 
.The
missed Le, as did the 
river. He would be staring down the barrel of elimination, until a 
hit the river to put a straight on board, giving both players a chop of the pot.
A Curious Hand
Pronk made a big show of playing with his chips like he was going to make a bet on the
flop before checking to Willcocks. Willcocks then made a small stab at the 230,000-chip pot by betting 80,000. It was enough to get Pronk to fold.
