Jani Vilmunen started the day with a massive stack, and that's how he's ended it too. Indeed, he's back to Monster Chip Leader status, with a 3:2 chip lead over his nearest rival, fellow Finn Aarno Kivelio, going into the final table.
Vilmunen seems on form now after a disappointing WSOP this summer -- the Irish Open final tabler just recently won a six-max PLO WCOOP event, and is in an excellent position to maybe get a bracelet to go with it. However, it's anyone's game at the moment, so join us back here from 2pm GMT+1 to see who walks away from this final table with their wrist a little heavier and a little shinier...

However the
flop kept Vilmunen interested as she bet out 40k. He called, and when the 
came on the turn she moved in for 44k more. This turn card had given Vilmunen flush outs to go with his straightening hand - 
- and she could only watch as her set of Fours (her hand 
) became no good with the 
falling on the river.The EPT winning Naujoks will undoubtedly be back for the Main Event, but for now she's left the tournament to the nine players who will return tomorrow at 2pm to commence the final table.
board went unnoticed by opponent Ross Boatman. Boatman had called Lederer's bet on the turn (25k) and was patiently waiting for him to act. When Lederer told him he'd checked, he apologised and turned his hand over: 
; Lederer mucked and he took the pot.
. No one seemed too interested, so they got a free . Now the blinds checked, Jani Vilmunen bet 22k and Roberto Romanello (to his immediate left) called. Everyone else passed.The river was the
and now both players remaining checked swiftly. Vilmunen showed only a pair of Jacks in his hand, but Romanello's 
won him that 80k-ish pot.
flop.Boatman spent a moment sipping at could have been a cappuccino but to be honest looked more like a cup of cocoa. He checked, and the laid down his hand to a 36,000 bet from Vilmunen.
. Not too much going on here - a 
came on the turn. If there was a bet on the turn, I missed it (and it wasn't enough to make the pot look any bigger) but Romanello fired 24k on the 
river. Then came a think, and a call - Romanello's 
x x for the flopped set and rivered house were the winners.Meanwhile Ville Haavisto's added 22k to his stack, getting a preflop call from Howard Lederer who passed to his 34k bet on the
flop.
