Narrowing the Gap

[user46392]

By the by, the stacks are beginning to even up ever so slightly. De Vivo and Klein are currently on just short of 3 million apiece, while Wigg is down to around 6.7 million.

Getting Wiggy With It

[user46392]

Anton Wigg raised his button again and this time both players called. Curious.

The flop read {4-Spades}

and it checked to Wigg who bet. Klein called, although de Vivo passed. Curiouser and curiouser.

The two remaining players saw a {4-Hearts}

turn but they checked it, and they checked the {K-Diamonds}

river too. Wigg turned over {10-?}

for a flopped pair of tend - and once Klein had mucked, Wigg took the pot.

From the small blind, Francesco De Vivo opened to 150,000. In the big blind, Anton Wigg three-bet it right up to 425,000. After a little pause for effect, De Vivo four-bet to 1.075 million. Wigg shipped it in over the top, and De Vivo quickly called all in for his total stack of 2.92 million. With another monstrous pot up for grabs, the cards were on their backs:

De Vivo: {K-Diamonds}

Wigg:

The board was a blank slate for Wigg's come-from-behind hopes. It ran out {10-Hearts}

, holding De Vivo's kings. With that pot, he has doubled his way into the chip lead with 5.855 million!

To Eat Or Not to Eat?

[user46392]

The announcement has been made that players will now be taking a 15 minute dinner break, which doesn't sound right at all. We suspect that they actually mean a one hour dinner break. Either way, we'll be back soon so don't go anywhere...

BREAKING NEWS

The dinner break will last for 45 minutes. Back at 20.45 CET.

Not Yet, But Soon

[user46392]

The dinner break was at some point mysteriously extended to one hour, so coverage will resume at 9pm CET. Until then, why not amuse yourself checking out the PokerNews EPT video gallery?

Still Breaking

[user66118]

We're told that the three remaining players are about to return to the table. We'll believe it when we see it...

Level: 29

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000

Play Resumes At Last

[user46392]

That's enough dinner break for anyone. Back to business.

Viva De Vivo

[user46392]

Morten Klein limped in on the button but Francesco de Vivo must have had an aggression burger for dinner because he raised to 200,000 from the small blind. Anton Wigg quickly gave up his big blind and the action moved back to Klein. Klein thought about it for a while and looked like he might be interested - but eventually he folded too, and de Vivo showed everyone the {A-Hearts}

with a don't-mess-with-me sort of expression on his face.

Morten Klein Eliminated in 3rd Place (1,400,000 DKK)

[user46392]

Anton Wigg raised to 205,000 on the button but Morten Klein in the small blind made it 540,000. Wigg announced all in to cover, Klein called in no time at all, and they were on their backs.

Klein: ahead with {A-Clubs}

Wigg: rather chancing it with but admittedly very live with {J-Clubs}

Flop:

Klein remained ahead.

Turn: {K-Spades}

No change there. Only a nine or a ten could spoil the party for Klein.

River: {10-Clubs}

Ouch. As Mr. Klein said in his exit interview, "That was a bad beat." Nevertheless he was an absolute gentleman about it as he hit the rail.

As we go heads up, Francesco de Vivo has a slight lead with 6.4 million. Anton Wigg has 6.1 million. That's about 80 big blinds apiece. Hope you're sitting comfortably - this could take some time...
