Koen De Visscher was The Man earlier in the day until he lost pot after pot for a near million chip down swing. His day is finishing off nicely though with a double up.
All the chips went in pre flop between himself and Jose Manuel Nadal.

The board ran . The Belgian has a smile back upon his face now.
Carlos Lauro Mora Alvarez has just had his hand declared dead after taking far too long to act. He was facing a bet of 143,000 from Alexandre Andermatt, a bet that essentially put Alvarez all in as he only had 220,000 behind and calling, losing and being left with just 80,000 would be disastrous.
We'd been stood waiting for something to happen but Alverez just sat there staring at the board, eventually Andrea Benellli, who was not involved in the hand, called the clock on him.
"He had 10 seconds left on my own clock," said Jannick Wrang
Luca Vivaldi came over and started the countdown and he got all the way to zero, which meant Alverez's hand was dead. Andermatt adds even more chips to his stack.
We joined the action on the board where Sebastian Veghinas had bet 55,000 into Jean-Philippe Rohr, who was sat under the gun. Rohr quickly called and the dealer got busy putting out the river. Veghinas fired another bet, this one 60,00, Rohr snap-called and Veghinas snap-folded. Snap, snap, snap.
Stefano Puccilli opened to 29,000 preflop before Olivier Busquet made it 65,000 just a couple of seats down but then Balazs Botond four-bet to 125,000 from the button, Puccilli folded but Busquet took a while longer before he too gave up his hand.
Yet another player has been eliminated, this time Marco Della Monica. He three-bet shoved over a raise from Jean-Philippe Rohr with only to be called by the Frenchman's . By the river the board read and Monica was sent to pick up his prize money.
Yuri Kerzhapkin has been eliminated from the tournament by Sebastian Veghinas. The former shoved his stack into the middle with and was rather unfortunate to see Veghinas wake up with pocket kings.
The board ran out and Kerzhapkin was sent to the rail.
With two players having to sit out because of penalties and UTG folding, the table was basically three-handed and Piero Federici had four-bet all in with against David Vamplew but the latter held to knock him out. Just on the break though the Scot lost a sizeable pot to Mario Nagel, he called a 78,000 bet on the turn of a board but then folded to a 145,000 bet on the river.
