"Royal Mind" Chipping up Early on the Final Table

Level 46 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

Action folded around to "paoronaldo" who limped the small blind for 1,000,000 and "Royal Mind" in the big blind checked their option.

The two players took a flop of {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and "paoronaldo" bet 1,000,000. "Royal Mind" called and they went to the turn.

The turn came {7-Diamonds} and this time "paoronaldo" elected to check. "Royal Mind" fired out a bet of 5,125,000 and it was enough to take down the pot.

United Kingdoms' "Royal Mind" came into the final table as the joint shortest stack but after only ten minutes of play is now sitting in second place.

Day 2 chip leader "Twicyy" sat amongst the top 10 stacks throughout the majority of Day 3 and comes into the final table as the shortest stack, albeit with 32 big blinds to work with as does "Royal Mind", also from the United Kingdom. Seventh in chips is "dibmestre" from Brazil who remained pretty quiet throughout Day 3 but managed to bag up an impressive 43,080,672 which gives them 43 big blinds to start the final table with.

Another big name comes in sixth in chips, Alexios "J0hnny_Dr@m@" Zervos found himself bottom of the chip counts with around 50 players remaining but surged up the counts when his ace-nine beat jack-ten all in, busting "iBreakU_U" in 12th place.

Austrian "rObetOblancO" comes back in 5th place with 43,792,336 chips and will be pleased to make the final table as with 16 players left he found the positive side of variance when his ace-five outdrew "Marusia1980"'s ace-king all in. It was this hand that helped his passage to this final table.

U.S. born Ryan "planty07/08" Plant comes back to the final table in 4th place with 54,977,996 (55 big blinds) after this hand versus Austrian high stakes pro Florian "Gaugi444" Gaugusch propelled him to the chip lead with 12 players remaining. From here, Plant was able to navigate safely to the final table.

Completing the final 9 is "paoronaldo" from Brazil with 56,632,037 chips, sitting third in the counts. "paoronaldo" won a huge flip, finding an ace on the river, versus fellow countryman "carafalo" with 17 players remaining.

Cards hit the air at 5:30 p.m. GMT today with blinds resuming at 500,000/1,000,000 with an ante of 125,000.
