Denes Kalo, having not been as noticeably active through much of the day as his online star tablemates, is nevertheless a real contender for the top spot.  He just called a very large river bluff by Maxime on a board of - he instantly mucked when Kalo's call came over the line, and the sole remaining European in the tournament moved into a comfy second place in chips having shown down the winning .

Blind on blind, Maxime and Glen see a flop. Small blind Maxime bets out and takes it, just like that.

Once again, it's wonderful that this has at no point become crapshooty, etc, excellent tournament, blah blah blah, and indeed I will be very interested to see this later in the year when we get to see the hole cards and so on, but for the past few hours this has been incredibly dry.

There isn't even any banter to report. No-one is saying anything. They are all absolutely expressionless and silent, and nobody seems in any danger of doing anything stupid/rash/amusing, even though we understand a deal has been done.

DRAMA!!!

It was always going to take a supertricksy play/cold deck to get one of these guys out (or a bit of a brain freeze - it's been a long day) - and that's exactly what was delivered.  The inescapable river...

Maxime Villemure had bet the turn with the board reading ... and hit what he thought, fairly reasonably, might be a perfect card - the on the river against Glen Chorny.  But it couldn't have been worse - while Maxime held Q-8 for the second nut straight, Glen flipped the K-Q for the only hand to beat it..

Making Maxime Villemure our 3rd place finisher, winning € 715,000

Yay, heads up! And we have deep-fried stuff!

Glen Chorny - 11,360,000
