12.10pm: Jean genie
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)

Mikael Jean just survived a pair-under-pair skirmish, denying Cathal Shine the chance to vault beyond half a million. The pair both had premium hands: Jean had [qh][qc] while Shine had [kh][kd].

The board ran [8c][jc][9c][4c][tc] and they both ended up playing the board. Jean began today with 228,400; Shine had 291,000. They still have about the same each after Jean found the genie in the bottle. -- HS

12pm: First man down
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)

We are down to 40 already after Adrien Allain became the first man out today. He got his last 84,000 in the middle with [ac][4c] and Adrian Mateos snapped him off with [9h][9c]. The flop was pretty emphatic. It came [9d][7d][7h] and Allain did not pull off the miraculous outdraw on the [ks][6c] turn and river. Allain will get €11,440. -- HS

12pm: Play under way
Level 20 - Blinds 5,000-10,000 (1,000 ante)

Play is under way on Day 4. They will play down to the last 16 players or five levels, whichever comes soonest.

We will have full, official chip-counts at the end of every level over on the chip-count page. In the meantime, there will be approximations and eliminations featured there. -- HS
