We apologize for the delay in a chip count update, but the restricted media access is making the counting process quite difficult (we're all still banned from inside the ropes and it looks like it will remain that way for the duration).

Mika Paasonen 477,500
Adam Junglen 355,000
Dag Martin Mikkelsen 348,000
Patrick Bruel 290,000

Maceiras flipped over and exposed his hand although Junglen did not call. He asked the dealer for a count on Maceiras's chips. Even though Junglen knew Maceiras's hand, he called with .
