We missed the pre flop and flop action, but Davidi Kitai was kind enough to fill us in after the hand was over. Here's he said what happened.
Martin Finger opened from middle position and Davidi Kitai called from the hijack. One player in the blinds came along for the ride and the three of them saw a flop of 
. After it was checked to him, Finger made a continuation bet. Kitai called, the player in the blinds folded.
The 
on the turn made Finger bet 15,000. Again Kitai called and the 
fell on the river to complete the board. Martin Finger moved all in and Davidi Kitai snap called and showed 
for the nut flush. Finger slid his cards into the muck but the dealer retrieved them and tabled them as 
. We're not a hundred percent sure the dealer got the right cards from the muck though, so there's a possibility Finger had something other than jack-three suited.
EPT Barcelona Single Day High Roller champion Martin Finger wasn't the first to go however, Master Classics of Poker champion Jussi Nevanlinna was the first one out today. We missed his exit. Both players still have the option to re enter before 5 pm (in 3 hours).
