Today is the final day of the 2015 Unibet Open Glasgow Main Event. The 211 entrants have been reduced to only 10 and by the time the curtain comes down on Day 3's proceedings on Tuesday only one man will remain and he will become the latest in a long line of Unibet Open champions.
While it is still anyone's tournament to win, Bulgaria's Daniel Chutrov is the odds on favourite not least because of his massive chip lead. Chutrov goes into the final day with 2,024,000 chips his stack, more than double the 903,000 chips that Estonia's Heins Kalde has in his possession.
Play resumes at midday local time with each of the 10 returning players guaranteed £3,050 but with £43,000 awaiting the eventual champion nobody will want to collect the minimum today.
The official final table is set after Herman Hjalm bust in 10th place a few moments ago.
Hjalm raised to 40,000 from the button and after Chen Wenbin folded in the small blind, Annar Bjorsmo three-bet to 130,000. Hjalm jammed all-in and was instantly called by his opponent.
Bjorsmo turned over and had the of Hjalm dominated. Hjalm's situation grew worse on the flop, but the on the turn gave him a glimmer of hope for a chop. Those hopes were dashed when the landed on the river to send him home in 10th place.
Heins Kalde opened to 45,000 with from early position and Daniel Chutrov decided to slow play his and flat-called. James McAulay woke up on the button with and he pushed all-in for 186,000.
Kalde craftily called and then snap-called for his last 355,000 when Chutrov pushed all-in.
The flop was safe for Kalde's aces, as was the turn. The river completed the board and the final table lost it's first player.
Ramunas Granskas has bust in eighth place and collected £5,700.
Granskas open-shoved for with from the cutoff for 141,000 and Wenbin Chen looked him up with the from the button. Chen took the lead on the flop and locked up the hand on the turn. The inconsequential on the river completed the board and Granskas headed off to collect his prize money.
Nicklas Degn moved all-in for 722,000 chips from under the gun and Chen Wenbin re-raised all-in for 928,000 to isolate him. It was for Degn but the powerhouse hand that is for Degn.
Degn was drawing to two outs, but they failed to appear as the five community cards ran to send the Dane home in seventh place.
Ninib Messo has been eliminated in fifth place and collected £8,550. Messo pushed all-in for 12 big blinds from under the gun with and it looked like he would be collected the blinds and antes until Daniel Chutrov woke up with in the big blind.

Bjorsmo was drawing to a single out as Chutrov had folded a deuce so when he failed to hit on the it was anything but surprising. Down to three in the Main Event.
