Leow Leads Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck Final Table
Six players made the official final table of Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck. With 20 unique players and 22 reentries, a prize pool of $2,100,000 was collected which means that all six of them have made the money. First place will pay out $756,000 to the winner while all six players have secured at least $105,000.
The fifth final table during the Super High Roller Bowl Europe series sees Ivan Leow sitting in pole position with 3,870,000 in chips. Leow is joined by Seth Davies and Santi Jiang in the top three while Timofey Kuznetsov, Paul Phua, and Chris Brewer are also still battling for all the pay jumps.

Play will resume at 1 p.m. local time with just under 24 minutes left in Level 13 which has an ante of 20,000 while the button pays a double ante of 40,000. The level duration will remain at 40 minutes each and play will continue until a new champion has been crowned.
The final table won't be streamed on PokerGO as the plan is to broadcast a $200/$400 cash game to take place at the same time with players like Tony G, Leon Tsoukernik, and Rob Yong.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be focusing on Event #6: $100,000 NLH but will occasionally update on the progress of the final table.
