We've seen a lot of three-betting and four-betting this level but not much five-betting. That just changed and it was the two shortest stacks duelling.
Ben Warrington opened to 210,000 from under the gun before David Boyaciyan three-bet to 580,000 from the small blind. The action was back on the Brit and he click-four-bet it up to 850,000. He was forced to concede defeat and fold though after Boyaciyan five-bet to 1,600,000.
Ben Warrington has been eliminated n the last hand of Level 30.
Sotirios Koutoupas opened to 210,000 under the gun, then called when Warrington three-bet all-in for 1,815,000 in total. Warrington turned over and was in a coinflip against his Greek opponent's red threes.
The flop kept the threes in front and the turn locked up the hand for Koutoupas. The meaningless was the river card and Warrington's exit was confirmed.
There were moments in Level 30 when it looked like Ramzi Jelassi would permanently lose the lead. Then he rallied to restore his stack to nearly 11 million with three players remaining. Read on at the PokerStars Blog.
The three surviving players are back at the table but play has not resumed because the are discussing a deal.
They have been told they must leave 10% of the remaining prize pool (€165,500) for the eventual winner. David Boyaciyan has asked for more money that what the trio have discussed, Sotirios Koutoupas has offered Boyaciyan €10,000 to take the deal but Boyaciyan does not seem to be budging.
Ramzi Jelassi has just told his opponents that he is the favorite to win, but he does not want to play with over €200,000 on the line, which is the difference between third and second.
More drama here in Prague as David Boyaciyan has second thoughts about the deal that they agreed in principal.
They had agreed to guarantee Boyaciyan €415,000 and the other two players €500,000; then leave €90,000 extra for second and €150,000 for the eventual winner.
This means they would be paid as follows :

2nd place
3rd place
Ramzi Jelassi
€650,000
€590,000
€500,000

Tournament director Luca Vivaldi was about to confirm the deal but was stopped in his tracks by Boyaciyan, who said he is not happy with the deal.
