The plan for the rest of the day is for the final ten players to be seated at two five-handed tables but when the next player is eliminated, they will all be moved to a nine-handed unofficial final table.
Play will then be paused for the day as soon as the final table of eight is reached. Just so you know!
Georgios Skotadis is not getting any respect with his three-bets on the feature table. Just before the break Skotadis three-bet Kent Lundmark and folded to his four-bet shove and it had just happened again.
Luis Rufas opened the action to an undetermined amount and Skotadis made the call. The flop was and Skotadis checked to Rufas who bet 170,000. Skotadis then check-raised to 400,000 and Rufas shoved all-in. Skotadis folded.
Luis Rufas seems to be taking over the feature table for the time being.
He has raised for three consecutive hands. This time his 120,000 raise was called by Konstantin Puchkov in the blinds. The flop of combined with a 130,000 continuation bet was enough to put Puchkov off an win Rufas another pot.
There hasn't been an awful lot to report on the outer table so far this level - with the stacks so deep, and the money jumps now so big, the prevailing atmosphere seems to be one of wariness. The five-big-blind raises of yesteryear have now been replaced by a standard minimum-plus-5k raise.
One player who has profited slightly so far, though, is Thor Stang. He raised to the aforementioned 105,000 from the small blind, and got a call from Francisco Notaro in the big. Both players checked the flop and they saw a turn, on which Stang bet out 125,000. Notaro gave it some thought and made the call; but when Stang bet out what looked like another 125,000 on the river, Notaro snap-folded.
Stang - 1.3 million
Notaro - 2.5 million

In other outer table news, Jesus Cortes Lizano shoved from the small blind for around 800,000 when it folded around to him, but big blind Candido Goncalves wasn't interested and folded.
We all know that the cut-off and the button are prime stealing zones and experienced players like Giuseppe Pantaleo and Kent Lundmark understand this more this most.
Pantaleo opens the action up from the cut off to 85,000 and Lundmark makes the three-bet to 245,000 from the Button and the Blinds fold.
Pantaleo makes the four bet to 450,000 and after a brief pause Lundmark makes the five bet shove forcing the fold from Pantaleo.
and Skotadis checked to Rufas who bet 170,000. Skotadis then check-raised to 400,000 and Rufas shoved all-in. Skotadis folded.
combined with a 130,000 continuation bet was enough to put Puchkov off an win Rufas another pot.
