During the lunch break, a certain Mr Steve Jelinek popped in to thank Mr Neville for his support. Also, he mentioned that Alex Kim was by far the most impressive player he's witnessed today, especially considering he's too young to play live events in America. "He's been on tables with some of the best players in Europe, but he's not afraid to re-raise them when he smells weakness... and he always seems to be right. He's making some great reads and is riding high even though he suffered a bad beat earlier on."

They'll be restarting in a few minutes, with one table televised and one on the floor surrounded by curious onlookers and the occasional member of the press.  BA pointed out that this is a change from the previous setup, where the last two tables play down off camera, and the Feature is used again for the final.  It is, as he noted, unfair on the TV tablers - it's always slower on there, even with this kind of lineup, and with such a lot to play for everything should probably be kept as even and fair as possible - like in science experiments where you keep base conditions identical.  I can see that they're on to a good thing with the live streaming and commentary, but still...

Dean Sanders is OUT in 18th, only just got a bit of the action coming back to report the previous exit, but he apparently got it all in with 7-8 on a T-9-6 board against Marc Karam's T-9, turn and river came running sixes to send the gutted gutshot player home. Ouch, that's going to hurt.

Mark Karem has got to be one of the luckiest players in the EPT finals. Wasn't this the same guy who caught runner runner to eliminate Marcel Luske in last years EPT final in Monte Carlo, after he moved all in pre flop, on a bluff.

If poker was purely a skill game Mick, Me and you would be busto mate    long live luck !!!

Speak for yourself Kev. I went bust long ago

We don't have access to the TV table - Homer has gone to ask the TV people if they took some in the break.  From looking at the feed, I think Ram has around 600k.  Meanwhile Gavin Griffin is the chip leader after the end of the last level propelled him to 1,600,000(!).

[Geo the Sarge]

Just said on live feed Ram still at 1.1 million.

Christian Neirinck is OUT in 16th place, winning €39,820, in a nasty way.

Steve Jelinek had in the small blind, Neirinck had in the big.

Flop:



Turn:



A clap of the hands from Steve, "Pair the board," he says.

River:



A shake of the hands with the Belgian and pushes Jelinek to around 1.3 million
