With the average hand now taking over six minutes, chip leader Gilles Bernies is suddenly trending downwards.
First he tried to bluff Patrick Clarke off a four-flush and failed, then he called a 100,000-chip open from Kuljinder Sidhu and they went three-handed to an flop with Rhys Jones coming along for the ride.
Sidhu continued for 170,000 and only Bernies called. Sidhu fired away again on the turn, making it 410,000, and after a few minutes in the tank, Bernies relented.
Patrick Clarke is the last representative of Ireland in the EPT Dublin Main Event. He hopes for his second big win here in Ireland and a celebration of vodka and red bulls.
Kuljinder Sidhu made it 85,000 and both Rhys Jones and Gilles Bernies called. Bernies and Sidhu both checked the flop and Jones made it 160,000.
Bernies tank-raised to 390,000 and both players called. All three checked the turn, but when it checked to Jones on the river, he bet 575,000.
Bernies tank-raised again, making it 1.6 million and after Sidhu folded, Rhys followed suit with a smile, allowing Bernies to move above the five million mark and into the lead again.
Action folded to Mikhail Petrov in the small blind and he moved all in. Big blind Rhys Jones made one of the quickest calls of the day.
In the pot of 1,285,000, here's what they showed:

Rhys Jones:
The flop came and Petrov had just 1% equity left. He was drawing dead by the time the hit the turn and had already left the stage once the completed the board.
