3.52pm: No Cetin thing
Dmytko Samoilenko has just doubled up through Cetin Sarikaya. Once all-in, the Russian quickly began to film his hand on his phone and watched as his K♥ Q♥ beat Sarikaya’s 6â™  6♣ on a 4♣ 4â™  Q♣ K♣ 4♦ board. Sarikaya dropped to 750,000 while Samoilenko now has 1.3 million.

3.43pm: Zbib wins huge double-up
Ayman Zbib just rocketed out of his chair after he was all in on a 3♦ 9♣ 2♦ board with A♣ 9♥ . Alexandros Papadopoulos made the call with A♦ Q♠ and the 9♠ turn saw incredibly loud celebrations from Zbib and his rail. The K♦ river changed nothing. Zbib moved up to two million in chips while Papadopoulos was left with 480,000.

3.32pm: Duda denied
It’s all over for former chip leader Antonin Duda, he three-bet and then called off his stack with 7♦ 7♥ against the running-hot chip leader Jonas Mackoff. The Canadian player turned over Aâ™  Q♦ and hit an ace on the flop to eliminate Duda. Mackoff now has around 3.5 million in chips.

3.22pm: Przysucha doubles through Andreys
Jan Przysucha has doubled up through Lawrence Andreys, Przysucha spiked with Aâ™  10â™  on a 10♥ 4♣ 9â™  Kâ™  9♣ board against Andreys’ [8][8]. The Frenchman was crippled as a result.

3.19pm: Emeringer gets unlucky
Carlo Emeringer had Bartosz Zialkowski all in preflop and the latter was dominated.

Emeringer: A♥ 8♣
Zialkowski: 10♠ 8♥

The board came 9♠ 4♠ 6♠ 4♦ 5♠ and Zialkowski rivered a flush to stay alive. Emeringer was left with just 5,000 and was knocked out in the next hand. The tournament is down to four tables and 32 players.

The fourth level of the day is underway.

3.01pm: Budovskis bounced
Dainis Budovskis is the latest player out. 34 players remain.

2.53pm: Solid nitrolling from Mackoff
Magnus Nordmark raised to 50,000 preflop from late position before Jonas Mackoff made it 130,000 in the blinds. Here’s where it gets hazy. At some point Nordmark had announced all in but neither Mackoff or the dealer had heard it. So Nordmark was waiting for Mackoff to make a decision and vice-versa. It wasn’t until the clock was called by someone else that both players realised what had happened.

As soon as Mackoff realised his opponent was all in, he called instantly.

Mackoff: 10♣ 10♠
Nordmark: 6♠ 6♣

The board came A♥ 5♣ 4♦ 10♦ 6♥ and Mackoff increased his chip lead. He has about 2.7 million now.
