Quick Break

The clock has been paused while the players take an unscheduled 10-minute break.

We have already lost five players in the first 29 hands, in lightning-fast action. Play will resume shortly for our four remaining players.

Hand #29 - Albert Iversen

Scott Freeman has the button in Seat 1. Albert Iversen opens the pot with a 55,000 raise and Rene Mouritsen is the lone caller.

The flop brings {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Rene checks to Albert to makes a continuation bet of 80,000 which is all it takes to push Rene out of the pot.

Hand #27 - Albert Iversen

Rene Mouritsen has the button in Seat 4. Max Greenwood makes it 50,000 to go from under-the-gun. Albert Iversen makes the call from the small blind and Scott Freeman announces 'Raise,' making it a total of 185,000 to play. Greenwood quickly folds and Iversen makes the call and sees a flop of {3-Spades} {7-Spades} {A-Diamonds}.

Both players check the flop and the {7-Clubs} falls on the turn. Both players check once more, and the dealer delivers the {8-Spades} on 5th Street. Iversen then leads out with a bet of 260,000 which prompts Freeman to surrender the hand.

Hand #22 - Jesse Chinni Eliminated in 5th Place ($183,069)

Jesse Chinni - 5th Place
Jesse Chinni - 5th Place
Albert Iversen has the button in Seat 6.

Rene Mouritsen raises to 60,000, and Jesse Chinni raises an additional two times the initial raise, making it 180,000 total. Action folds back around to Mouritsen, and he comes over the top again, with another 300,000 on top. When it comes back to Jesse Chinni, he quickly moves all in for another 1,053,000 on top, and Mouritsen snap-calls, having his man covered. Nearly half of the total chips in play are in the middle of the table, as the two men turn over their cards:

Chinni: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Mouritsen: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

With a gigantic pot up for grabs, the dealer spreads the board: {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. Rene Mouritsen rakes in the massive pile of chips, and now has more than half of the chips on the table.

Jesse Chinni started play just one hour ago with a massive chip lead. In that short span of time, he has fallen all the way down and out of the chip counts. He heads to the rail in fifth place, and will collect $183,069.

Hand #21 - Aliaksandr Dzianisau Eliminated in 6th Place ($144,187)

Aliaksandr Dzianisau - 6th Place
Aliaksandr Dzianisau - 6th Place
Rene Mouritsen has the button in Seat 4. Action folds around to Albert Iversen in the small blind, who raises enough to put Aliaksandr Dzianisau all in. Dzianisau makes a quick call and tables {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Iversen shows {J-Spades} {7-Spades}.

A miraculous flop of {4-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} gives Iversen trip jacks and all he can do is shake his head and smile. The turn and river bring running aces and Iversen's jacks full are good enough to take down the pot and eliminate Dzianisau from the tournament in sixth place.
