After such a lengthy spell without a showdown, I have to pinch myself to make sure that I'm not sleeping when Lee Jones announces a showdown. Like the rest of the pressroom, I suddenly jump into life and reach out for my notepad in preparation for the board. All-in with , it is Maxime who has his tournament life on the line, but he's in good shape against Isaac's and looking confident of a double through. With players remaining as stoic as ever, the dealer pops out a onto the felt to give Maxime a huge 4 million pot. As a result, Isaac has now sunk down to 1.5 million.

Yep far too many. Hehe Lee Jones still acting like its exciting - I appreciate that. So is everyone else asleep around the press room or is there a perky person running around like a hamster?

Isaac Baron - 1,105,000
Denes Kalo - 2,20,000
Glen Chorny - 2,860,000

It's an unusual atmosphere - largely weary, but not full of raging anger like, say, Copenhagen, because the standard of poker has been consistently incredibly high for the past few hours. I think everyone appreciates that, albeit a bit grudgingly what with the whole we-can't-go-home-yet thing and all.

Isaac, suddenly in trouble, has now got to deal with the different pressures than those of the chip leader.  But he has probably been in this situation many many times, and probably isn't going to be too despondent.

And he takes his shot!
He moves in.  Denes Kalo calls.

There it is!  A foot back in the door and a playable stack once again.  He honestly didn't look bothered as the board came out - like he was waiting for a bus rather than waiting for a multi-hundred-thousand-euro card...

Mr C can never call the clock again. Great play. I bet that man smells like roses

[Djinn]

Glen Chorrny on the small blind calls Isaac Baron's preflop raise.
Flop:   Glen bets out 335k... but Isaac slowly cuts his stacks of 25k in an "I'm not passing" kind of way.  Glen calls the clock. 
Isaac's response to this=  All In.
Glen's response to this= Instacall!

Isaac shows:

That makes Isaac Baron (the media room's pick to win, btw) our 4th place finisher, winning € 589,000

We're never boring! And I really hope it doesn't go into the pm, I don't think I could handle another 15 hours of this...

[snoopy1239]

Maxime raises pre-flop and Denes calls. Maxime takes it down with a 325k on the 7-8-2 rainbow Flop.
