The third gold bracelet of the 2021 World Series of Poker Europe will be awarded today as Event #4: €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha plays down to a winner.

Only 46 players out of 241 entries remain in contention for the €423,557 prize pool and the money bubble will be looming when the action resumes at 2pm local time in Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov.

Leading the field into the final day is the UK's Ian Bradley with 554,000 in chips and he is the only contender with more than 100 big blinds at his disposal for the restart. Ermanno Di Nicola (440,000) and Stanislav Parkhomenko (415,000) follow on the overnight podium while other notables in the top 10 include Richard Toth and Leonid Yanovski.

Other notables that will return for the final day include Vivian Saliba, Krasimir Yankov, Andriy Lyubovetskiy, Abdelhakim Zoufri, Mick Heder, and Jonas Kronwitter.

The action will recommence with blinds of 3,000/5,000 and a big blind ante of 5,000. All levels will last 40 minutes each and the final table is also scheduled to be streamed as of 8pm local time on the main feature table at the King's Resort.

Sabo Busts Eljach in Huge Pot

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Omar Eljach
Omar Eljach

Heads-up to the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} turn, Alan Sabo checked out of the small blind and Omar Eljach bet the pot for 125,000. Sabo then moved all-in and Eljach immediately sighed. "I guess it is for the glory. How can I fold this hand?" more to himself more than his opponent.

He gave it another 30 seconds to mull over the decision and called with a near identical big stack by using the words "no gamble no future."

Omar Eljach: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Alan Sabo: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Eljach was calling for a diamond while Sabo demanded a spade. It was Sabo who got the wish granted on the {9-Spades} river and Eljjach's 498,000 were covered by fewer than one big blind.

Defending Champion Ribeiro Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tomas Ribeiro
Tomas Ribeiro

One full orbit passed and there have been all-in showdowns but each time, the player at risk survived. As it happened, Tomas Ribeiro was forced all-in from the big blind and three opponents had limped in. They checked the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and Amir Mozaffarian in the small blind bet the {6-Clubs} turn for 20,000. Jaroslav Peter folded in the cutoff and Alan Sabo called on the button.

The {9-Spades} river was checked and Ribeiro tabled the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for just a pair of sixes. Sabo had the {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Mozaffarian won the pot with the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for tens and nines to burst the money bubble.

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jan Ryduchowski
Jan Ryduchowski

Jan Ryduchowski got the remainder of his stack in preflop and was looked up by Richard Toth to create the following showdown.

Jan Ryduchowski: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Richard Toth: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Toth the open-ender while some of his outs were not available due to Ryduchowski holding two of the aces and the spades flush draw. Nothing changed on the {5-Hearts} turn but the {9-Hearts} river improved Toth to the king-high straight, sending Ryduchowski to the rail in 22nd place for €3,769.

Emre Zingal defended the small blind against raise by Ian Bradley and then bet the pot for 87,000 on the {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. "How much total is it?" Bradley asked and Zingal replied "another 17 behind".

Bradley then announced he would "gamble with just a pair", pushed all-in and Zingal called.

Emre Zingal: {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Ian Bradley: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
