Andrey Danilyuk raised from the button and Ivan Freitez called from the big blind to see a flop.
Flop:
Freitez called and Danilyuk bet. A call, and a turn card.
Turn:
Again, Freitez checked and Danilyuk bet, this time to the tune of 365,000. Another call, and the river.
River:
Freitez checked for a third time and this time, after a little spell in the tank, Danilyuk checked behind. Danilyuk turned over - and woefully we didn't get to see Freitez' hand as he just mucked.
Thomas Pettersson survives the final table bubble spot, all in preflop with , racing Alex Gomes who held . The board ran out firmly winning the hand for Pettersson. Full chip counts on their way.
Sarah Grant spoke to Thomas Pettersson about this hand and his outlook for the rest of the tournament.
With the deadlock still not broken, we're now on a 15 minute break.

Sarah Grant chatted with Andrew Li on the break about interesting hands and his prediction that he would get sixth.
It's been a slow start to Level 28, and we haven't seen a flop yet. The players seem tense, and very tired. We know how they feel.
Andrew Li moved all in from the small blind and Ivan Freitez asked for a count, but eventually, seemingly as always, Freitez folded after some three minutes of tanking.
Juan Maceiras raised and it folded over to Thomas Pettersson who eyed him up for a while. After perhaps 30 seconds, he announced all in. He then put his sunglasses on, for emphasis. Alex Gomes tanked up for some time in the small blind, actually looking as though he was struggling to stay awake. We know that feeling. Eventually he folded, but Maceiras made the call.
Maceiras:
Pettersson:
The TV crew insist on the dealers doing everything very, very slowly, and Maceiras spent the delay looking worryingly close to having an aneurism.
Flop: - Maceiras fist-pumped as he flopped top set.
Turn: , giving Pettersson straight outs. Maceiras returned to Aneurismville.
River: , sealing Pettersson's fate and saving Maceiras from what could have involved a trip to the hospital.
Ladies and gentlemen, this epic Day 4 is over.
