Matias Kesanen raised to 60,000 from the hijack after which Calvin Anderson three-bet to 134,000 from the big blind. Kesanen four-bet to 230,000 and that put the pressure back on Anderson.

Finnish player Matias Kesanen has been taking at least 90 seconds for every decision since the start of the day and therefor play has slowed down considerably. Kesanen had the clock called on him numerous times already but he continues to play slow.
The tournament director has announced that he will check Kesanen's cards to see if he has a genuine decision if this situation keeps occurring. With just 17 players left we are on a €5,000 money bubble right now.
The only former EPT winner left in is in trouble. Kevin Stani is down to around 500,000 after four-bet folding.
