I am delighted to inform you all that the pie chart bandwagon is being well and truly leapt upon.  I was going to wait for a lull in the action to present you with these, but I just can't keep them from you:  I present - the pie chart representations of stats from the Pokerstars welcome suite...

Glen Chorny takes down a pretty chunky pot in interesting circumstances – A-J being the hand he confidently called on a flop out of position, before betting the turn.  His opponent Maxime Villemure stubbornly resisted until the river (don’t know what his hand is, so the commentators’ postulating he’d floated the flop is interesting).  A final diamond on the river – – and a double check, shipping the large pot to Chorny in the end.

Where are the gummi bears?

As we await the restart, may I take this chance to commend the structure. Of course, part of me would like this to be a crapshoot so we can hit the bar pronto, but the other part of me is content that the remaining players can still boast ample room to play. Looking back at the two and a half hour funfest of San Remo, the 90 minute clock and 15k starting stack have made this final table a real battle, which, in my opinion, not only adds credibility to the European Poker Tour, but also to the game of poker as a whole. So often people highlight the amount of luck involved, and although you still need to get lucky to win this event, skill has been given the utmost chance to prevail. Rob Hollink, Jeff Williams and last year's Gavin Griffin are all considered worthy winners, and the same will be said for today. I really do think that this is one of the few events where the cream almost always rises to the top. Well done PokerStars.

Glen raises pre-flop, Isaac calls. Isaac takes it down with a bet on the 3-3-3 Flop.

Little action since the break.

No press freebies here except endless tea.

Mad Harper just bought us Cokes though.

[NoflopsHomer]

What's the pressroom consensus? Is Isaac the man to beat now?

[Djinn]

The two chip leaders go to war.  For a while.

Isaac Baron raises preflpp called by Glen Chorny. 
Flop:    Glen checks, Isaac bets 250k.  Glen now raises --465.  And refusing to back down, Isaac pops in a re-raise - enough to signify that this could go from a big pot to a tournament-dominating pot...
...but Glen folds, cementing Isaac's place in front of the last four.

Countin' countin' countin', keep them chippies countin', countin' countin' countin', rawhiiiiiiiide!
