Ball took the lead on the 3♦9♣4♣ flop, but, the finished board 3♦9♣4♣Q♠A♠ favored Grasu who’s still in the mix.

At this point, the blinds are so high and Ball holds most of the chips, so post-flop play is very rare.

Mihaela Grasu: 9,000,000
Artur Cracuin: 0

The current chip leader Qing Zheng was the first one to kindly dismiss the suggested ICM-deal, with the $1,500 Cape Town package for the winner in consideration.

Between hands, Danny Ball suggested to the other players they should take a look at what an ICM-deal would look like at this stage of the tournament.

Said and done, the tournament director is now doing the mathematics and will present them to the players shortly. No deal has yet been agreed upon, but the players will get to see the numbers and thereafter make a decision.

It should be mentioned however that play will continue no matter what, as the $1,500 Cape Town package can’t be included in a deal.

Mihaela Grasu raised to 800,000 from the Cut-off. Action folded to Artur Craciun who went all in for 2,750,000 in total. Grasu made the call.

Alessandro Collaro: 6,400,000

There’s not been much action in the last 30 minutes on the final table. However, Artur Craciun just went all in for roughly 3,000,000 from the Small Blind. Danny Ball called him off from the Big Blind.

Artur Craciun: K♠J♣

After Thomas Garment opened to 180,000 from the Cut-off, Plater went all in. Garment made the call.

Kieran Plater: 3♦3♣

It would require the full 7♥10♦J♠8♦Q♥ runout before Garment would have the winning hand. Plater was sent to the rail, and there’s now only two tables left in the Main Event.

Kieran Plater: 0

River was the Q♦. Janin bet 350,000, and Wright folded. After using a timebank chip, Zheng put in a raise to 975,000. Janin eventually made the call.

Zheng revealed K♦10♦ for the straight. He received a nod from Janin who showed his A♠Q♥. It’s an educated guess that Zheng is the chipleader.

Qing Zheng: 5,000,000
David Benoit Janin: 1,900,000

Alistair Massie raised to 125,000 from the Small Blind. Right to the left of him, Allan Graham moved all in for 855,000. Massie made the call almost instantly.

Martyn Frey: K♣K♦
David Benoit Janin: 7♠7♦

“Blergh”, Frey saw as he saw the scary 3♠6♠5♠ flop. “Blergh!”, he continued on the 9♣ turn. “Blerg”, he sighed as the 4♣ fell on the river. He hit the rail and it feels like Janin has been winning steady ever since Day 1a.

David Benoit Janin: 2,600,000
Martyn Frey: 0

Qing Zheng is the current chip leader in the Main Event. With roughly 4,600,000 chips he’s a force to be reckoned with and is a threat to the other 26 players in the field.

As John Bell busted in place 28 right before the break, the remaining 27 players are now on break. The floor commences a seat draw for the final three tables and we’ll reveal the new seatings as fast as possible. We’ll also try to identify some of the biggest stacks in the room.

During the last hand before the break, Thomas Garment and Matthew Wootton clashed all in, Wootton being the player at risk.

Thomas Garment: 7♣7♦
Matthew Wootton: K♣K♦

Rollercoaster ride as the board ran out 6♣8♦7♥2♣K♠. A set-over-set scenario that benefited Wootton.

Matthew Wootton: 1,300,000

Michal Szczeblewski: 8♦8♣
Daniel Turner: J♠J♦

Turner didn’t appreciate the river on the 5♣6♥Q♠2♦8♠ runout. Szczeblewski doubled up and make sure we’ll stay on four tables a little longer.

Beihao Wang: A♠K♠

David Benoit Janin: 1,900,000
Beihao Wang: 0

Nikita Voroncovs raised to 50,000 from the Hi-jack and Andreas Constantinou was the only one who decided to partake, as he called from the Big Blind.

“My friend, you want to play this hand friendly?”, Voroncovs asked and got “play however you like” as the answer from Constantinou.

“I think we need to play it friendly”, Voroncovs continued as he answered Constantinou’s check on the 10♦J♦8♦ The turn brought the 10♥. Constantinou checked, Voroncovs bet 50,000 and Constantinou folded.

“I tried to be friendly, but I flopped the nut flush”, Voroncovs said as he revealed his A♦9♦ holding. The table shared a polite laugh.

Andreas Constantinou: 1,800,000
Nikita Voroncovs: 650,000

The players will return to Level 4: 10,000/25,000 (25,000).

We’ve just witnessed one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

Gareth Gardner: 6♣5♣
Alessandro Collaro: K♦Q♥

Collaro was ahead, and he would have probably been the tournament chip leader hadn’t it been for the 4♣ river. Gardner now breaks the two million barrier and is sitting with a very healthy stack as the first break of the day approaches.

Gareth Gardner: 2,500,000
Alessandro Collaro: 750,000

James Moult found himself all in against Ian Plater, with the latter one being the player at risk.

James Moult: 1,100,000
Ian Plater: 0

After some earlier betting, action was on Virginia Mihaela Grasu who went all in for 262,000 from the Big Blind. It was then on Nikita Voroncovs, who, seated in the Hi-jack, re-jammed for 645,000. Then, Artur Craciun proceeded to also go all in for 590,000.

The decision was then on Danny Ball, who took his time before folding.

Virginia Mihaela Grasu: A♦J♥
Nikita Voroncovs: 8♣8♦
Artur Craciun: Q♥Q♦

As the board spelled out K♥A♥2♦10♠9♠, no player busted, but there were some serious swings in the stack sizes. After the dealer had calculated everything, Danny Ball revealed he folded A♠Q♠.

Virginia Mihaela Gasu: 810,000
Artur Craciun: 645,000
Nikita Voroncovs: 55,000

As Donna Summers’ “I feel love” echoes through the Dusk Till Dawn, 53 players are left in the Main Event, meaning the following 12 people have hit the rail.

On a 8♦9♥3♦6♠ board with roughly 150,000 in the middle, Martyn Frey bet – are you sitting down? – 15,000.

“I didn’t mean to do that”, Frey uttered in chock to the dealer. “What happens now?”, he continued as the dealer informed him that his bet would be changed to the minimum amount of 16,000. We can only imagine the confusion John Holmes went through as he made the call.

On the river Q♦, Frey now bet 75,000 prior to taking a bit of his baked potato-dish. Holmes ultimately made the call.

“Sixes”, Frey announced as he turned over 6♥6♦. Holmes confirmed Frey’s set was good as he mucked his hand.

Martyn Frey: 1,200,000
John Holmes: 390,000

Mark Stokes: A♥4♥
Andreas Constantinou: J♠J♦

Constantinou added to his stack as Stokes couldn’t have been too stoked hitting the rail.

Andreas Constantinou: 1,500,000
Mark Stokes: 0

The board read 8♣10♣6♥2♦A♠ with roughly 300,000 in the middle. It was a Blind VS Blind-battle between Qing Zheng and Sean McDonald and Zheng fired a hefty 225,000 bet. After a minute’s consideration, McDonald called.

Zheng turned over 10♠8♥ for two-pair, which was enough, seeing as McDonald mucked.

Qing Zheng: 2,000,000
Sean McDonald: 590,000

Jack Allen raised to 25,000 from UTG+1. Beihao Wang (Lo-jack), Sanjay Patel (Small Blind), and David Benoit Janin (Big Blind) all called.

Action was checked to Wang on the 8♠2♠5♦ flop who bet 26,000. Allen was the sole caller which brought the K♦ on the turn. Both players checked and the board completed with the 8♦ on the river. Allen now bet 56,000 and Wang made the call.
