Just 12 players remain here at the Holland Casino in Amsterdam where Clyde Tjauw Foe managed to reclaim his lead at the end of Day 3 of this event after a couple of late pots against Andrew Chen - the Canadian having been dominant most of last evening. Remarkably, the last three winners of this event, Noah Boeken, Ole Schemion and David Boyaciyan are all still in as well, each hoping to be the first player to win the MCOP twice.
The final itself will be ten-handed but before that happens, two players must still be knocked out and then there's the small matter of playing down to a winner. Each player is currently guaranteed €15,341 but it's the first prize of €306,821 that they're all eyeing up. Play begins at 2pm CET and once again the levels will be 90 minutes long.
The first of three former winners has just fallen in the very first hand. Noah Boeken was all in preflop against Ole Schemion.
