Another very intriguing, but disappointingly not-resulting-in-us-being-any-closer-to-going-home, hand...

Maxime makes it 255k in position, and Denes calls.

Flop - and they both check it.

Turn - - Denes checks and Maxime bets around 300k - Denes calls.

River - a most interesting - and now Denes bets out, a most interesting 200k or so into the 1.3 million pot. Maxime dwells, and then folds. Most interesting...

Kalo now on around 3 million.

Hmmm...

By the way the blinds are now 60k/120k/10k, but our clock doesn't have that level.

I was just having a cigarette in the ladies' when I heard an almighty uproar. Oh my God it's over! - think I. I leg it out of the toilets to discover that the commotion is coming from the bar, where a bunch of people are on the ground. A fight! - think I. But no - it turns out that it was a prop bet between Antonio Esfandiari and Sorel Mizzi - Sorel bet that Antonio couldn't get 10 people to lie on the ground, without telling them to lie down. It looked like 10 to me, but they're apparently arguing over a technicality atm. Bizarre! - think I.

I must confess that the live feed has lost the attention of the pressroom, most of the media more interested in the bet between Antonio and Sorel as to whether or not Sorel can get ten people to lie down on the floor without telling them to lie down. However, amid the jovial banter there was an all-in and a call on the big screen, Maxime in need of dodging a Jack in order to survive. All-in with on a three diamonds, the Canadian was in tip top shape against the dominated of Denes Kalo, and even more so when the arrived on the Turn. A on the River and it was done and dusted; a double through for Maxime and play continues.

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.

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
