6:06pm: Break time; updated chip counts

The last three are taking another 20-minute break. Click here for continuing updates starting with Level 33. Here are the counts at the break:

Manuel Martinez (Spain) -- 14,645,000
Sebastian Supper (Germany) -- 7,875,000
Gilles Silbernagel (France) -- 2,105,000

6:02pm: Martinez collects after Silbernagel mucks

With just a couple of minutes left in the level, Gilles Silbernagel opened with a raise to 375,000 from the small blind with one of his two cards showing -- the T♦. Manuel Martinez called from the big blind, and neither of his cards were picked up.

Both checked the 2♥Q♥J♣ flop, then Silbernagel bet 375,000 on the 7♦ turn. The river was the K♣. Silbernagel stacked plaques and pushed out a bet of 700,000, and Martinez called. Silbernagel tapped the table and said "good call," and in fact mucked his hand, meaning no one got to see Martinez's hand.

5:51pm: Pablo Gordillo eliminated in 4th (€56,600)

After Gilles Silbernagel opened with a raise from the small blind with J♥J♠, Pablo Gordillo pushed all in for 2.15 million from the big blind with K♦Q♦ and Silbernagel called.

The flop came 6♠A♦8♥, then the T♠ turn provided a couple more outs to Gordillo in the form of the two remaining jacks. But the turn was the T♣, and after Silbernagel shook his hand and gave him a hug, Gordillo hit the rail in fourth.

5:41pm: Martinez retakes lead from Supper

On next hand after being bluffed by Gilles Silbernagel, Sebastian Supper opened for 325,000 with A♣8♠ from UTG and Manuel Martinez called from the big blind with 6♦3♣. The 3♥5♣9♥ hit Martinez's hand, and he led with a bet which Supper called. Both checked the 6♣ turn that gave Martinez a second pair.

The river was the T♠ and Martinez bet 575,000. Supper thought a while then called with his ace-high, and Martinez collected the pot. Martinez pushes ahead of Supper on that hand to retake the lead.

5:37pm: Silbernagel bluffs Supper

Sebastian Supper raised to 325,000 from the button with the T♦ and an unseen second card, and Gilles Silbernagel called from the small blind with J♥8♥. The flop came Q♥Q♣A♥, Silbernagel checked, Supper bet 350,000, and Silbernagel called. The turn was the 4♣ and both checked.

The river was the K♠. Silbernagel carved out 600,000, and after Supper let his hand go, Silbernagel showed his bluff as he was shipped the chips.

5:28pm: Updated chip counts

Sebastian Supper (Germany) -- 10,450,000
Manuel Martinez (Spain) -- 9,450,000
Gilles Silbernagel (France) -- 2,555,000
Pablo Gordillo (Spain) -- 2,170,000

5:19pm: Joseph Mouawad eliminated in 5th (€43,800)

It folded around to Sebastian Supper in the small blind who raised to 400,000 with 9♣9♦, then Joseph Mouawad reraised all in for 3,755,000 total with A♥Q♦. Supper hemmed and hawed a little, then made the call to create a 7.6 million pot and put Mouawad at risk.

The flop came 2♠4♣Q♣, giving Mouwad a pair and the lead, but the J♣ brought a club flush draw for Supper. Then came the river... the 9♥! A set for Supper, and Mouwad is out in fifth. Meanwhile, that pot appears to have carried Supper ahead of Martinez into the chip lead.

Joseph Mouawad - 5th place

5:07pm: Some for Silbernagel

In the first hand of the new level, Gilles Silbernagel raised the minimum to 320,000 from UTG with Q♣J♠ and it folded to Joseph Mouawad in the big blind who called (his hand not being shown). Both checked the T♦5♣9♦ flop, then after the J♣ turn Mouawad check-folded to a bet of 300,000 from Silbernagel.

5:06pm: Level 32 begins (80,000/160,000/20,000)

5:05pm: Mouawad wins last hand of level

In the last hand of Level 31, Joseph Mouawad raised to 275,000 from UTG with A♦4♠, and it folded to Manuel Martinez in the small blind with 9♣8♣. He thought a moment, then slid out a three-bet to 900,000. It folded back to Mouawad who immediately shoved all in, and Martinez folded.

4:57pm: Silbernagel flops flush, shoves turn

Pablo Gordillo raised to 250,000 from UTG with A♦2♥ and Gilles Silbernagel defended his big blind by calling with Q♠6♠. The flop came 3♠A♠T♠ -- a flush for Silbernagel, and a pair of aces for Gordillo -- and Silbernagel led for 375,000. Gordillo called.

The turn then brought the T♥ to pair the board, and Silbernagel shoved all in for 2,955,000 or about twice what was in the pot.

Gordillo thought for over a minute, then finally let his hand go to. Silbernagel is up close to 4.4 million after that one.

The flop came K♥3♥J♦ to give Martinez two pair and Silbernagel an open-ender, then the 9♣ fell on the turn to fill Silbernagel's straight. The river was the 9♠, and Silbernagel survives.

4:46pm: Jacks work for Mouawad

Joseph Mouawad raised to 265,000 from the button with J♣T♦, then Gilles Silbernagel three-bet from the small blind to 385,000 with 8♣8♥. It got back to Mouawad who called, then the flop came J♥Q♥J♠ to give Mouawad trip jacks. Both checked. The turn was the 9♦. Silbernagel checked, Mouawad bet, and Silbernagel called. The Q♣ river bought two checks, and Mouawad won the pot with jacks full of queens.

4:38pm: Fives provide a feast for Supper

Joseph Mouawad raised to 275,000 from under the gun with A♥Q♦ and it folded around to Sebastian Supper in the big blind who shoved all in for 2,205,000 with 5♦5♥. Taking his time deciding, Mouawad at last made the call.

The flop came 9♦9♠5♠, giving Supper a full house and causing Mouawad to grimace. A jack on the turn sealed it, and Supper now has about 4.6 million while Mouawad slips to 2.3 million.

4:34pm: More for Martinez

The 9♦ fell on the turn, giving Gordillo a double belly-buster draw, and he led for 385,000. Martinez called.

The river was the 9♣, pairing the board. Gordillo thought a bit then checked, and Martinez checked behind, collecting the pot.

4:29pm: Martinez over Mouawad

Contrasting somewhat with the first two hours of Day 4, we're seeing a lot of raise-and-takes and relatively small pots so far during Level 31. We just had an exception to that, however, in a hand between Manuel Martinez and Joseph Mouawad.

Martinez raised to 250,000 from the button with A♣3♠ and Mouawad decided to defend his big blind by reraising to 380,000 with 7♣5♠. Martinez then four-bet to 750,000, and after a brief pause Mouawad called.

The flop came 4♣5♣A♠. Mouawad led for 600,000 with his pair of fives, and Martinez called with top pair of aces. The turn brought the 4♦, and this time both checked. The river was the 8♣. Mouawad fired 800,000 this time, and after thinking a while Martinez called to win the pot.

Leader Martinez is up to 10.2 million now while Mouawad is just under 4.6 million.

4:19pm: Mouawad grabs a few

Manuel Martinez raised to 250,000 from under the gun with A♦Q♦ and got one caller in Joseph Mouawad with K♦Q♣ on the button. The flop came 8♠K♠6♥ and Martinez led wiht a bet of 225,000. Mouawad raised to 500,000, and Martinez pitched his cards away.

4:10pm: Stacks of plaques

With the increase in stakes, they've now brought out the 100,000-chip plaques.

Pablo Gordillo raised to 250,000 from under the gun with K♠9♦, and Manuel Martinez pushed out some of those plaques, reraising to 650,000 from the cutoff with Q♦T♦. It folded back to Gordillo, and he let his hand go.

Pablo Gordillo raised to 200,000 with K♦Q♠ from the cutoff, then Manuel Martinez reraised to 450,000 from the button holding Q♥Q♣. The blinds stepped aside, and Gordillo called.

The flop came T♥J♥8♦, giving Gordillo an open-ended straight draw while Martinez's queens were still ahead. Gordillo checked, and Martinez bet 550,000 -- about half the pot. The usually fast-acting Gordillo took his time responding, eyeing Martinez a few times while riffling his chips slowly. Then after two minutes Gordillo announced he was all in, and Martinez called right away.

The turn brought the 7♥ and the river the 3♠, and Martinez earned the big double-up. With the day's first break approaching, Martinez is the chip leader with almost 7.3 million while Gordillo falls down around 4 million.
