PokerStrs.fr EPT Deauville High Roller Final Table
Welcome to our coverage of the PokerStars.fr European Poker Tour Deauville High Roller final table where in a few minutes six men will sit down at the far end of the tournament area and complete the €10,300 buy-in tournament.
This tournament was due to be completed over the course of two days, but at around 02:00 this morning the decision was made to pause proceedings and complete the finale today.
Sweden's Martin Jacobson is the man to catch when the tournament restarts, his stack containing almost 250,000 more chips than his nearest rival Vojtech Ruzicka. However, it is far from a foregone conclusion because this really is anyone's tournament to win.

Cards are in the air at the final table that's sits in the shadow of the main event final table.
Silverman Shoves
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Steven Silverman is down to 15 big blinds and has, correctly, reverted to pushing all-in or folding when it his turn to act.
The action passed to Silverman on the button, he took a peak at his cards, sat back slightly in his seat and announced he was all in. Alexandre Reard in the small blind and Timothy Reilly in the big blind both folded instantly.
Ruzicka Three-Bets Reilly
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Timothy Reilly has really come out of the blocks with all guns blazing and is by far the most active player since the tournament resumed.
Just now, he opened from the small blind to 50,000 only to see Vojtech Ruzicka fiddle with some chips and raise to 130,000. Ruzicka had to verbally announce his bet size because he struggled to move the required chips forward in one fell swoop.
Reilly was deep in thought for 30-40 seconds, but he ultimately sent his cards back into the muck.

Ruzicka Ups the Aggression
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Czech pro Vojtech Ruzicka has really come out of his shell during the last couple of orbits and seems to be in every pot of note.
Hand 1: On a flop, Ruzicka (big blind) check-called a 60,000 bet from Alexandre Reard (button). The turn was the 
and Ruzicka check-folded to an 85,000 turn c-bet.
Hand 2: The action passed to Ruzicka in the small blind and he made an uncharacteristic oversized raise to 67,000. Martin Jacobson called in the big blind and the duo shared a 
flop. Ruzicka c-bet and Jacobson released.
Hand 3: Ruzicka opened to 50,000 in the hijack but quikcly folded when Bryn Kenney three-bet all in from the small blind.
We have a feeling it is only a matter of time before Ruzicka is involved in a key hand.
Massive Pot Goes Ruziacka's Way
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
We predicted Vojtech Ruzicka would be involved in a key hand sooner or later and we were correct. He now has 1,850,000 after winning the majority of Martin Jacobson's stack.
Jacobson opened to 50,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Ruzicka in his big blind. He asked Jacobson how many chips he had behind and Jacobson replied, "860,000." With that information in hand, Ruzicka called.
The dealer placed the 
flop onto the felt and Ruzicka checked then called a 45,000 bet from Jacobson. The 
turn saw Ruzicka check again. Jacobson increased his bet size to 100,000 and Ruzicka removed a tower of 5,000 chips from his stack and called.
The river was the 
and Ruzicka checked for a third time. Jacobson bet 265,000, which left him with just 360,000 behind and Ruzicka sprung into action with a raise all-in!
Jacobson sat for close to two minutes without showing any emotion whatsoever, but as time passed by the young Swede became more and more animated — he really was being put through the emotional wringer. Eventually, after around five minutes of torturing himself, Jacobson released his hand and Vojtech soared into a substantial chip lead.
