    There are just 5 players left in Event 5 and the players have taken a few minutes away from the table while staff removes the T1,000 chips from play.

    There was some discussion of a deal several minutes ago, and with the arrival of the break, interest in this has revived so the clock is paused to allow calculations and negotiations to conclude.

    Bob T

    As the short stack of the final 5, and with already 200,000 committed in the big blind, Bob shoved his last few blinds with a suited-king facing an open from Jaroslaw.

    Bob: King of Spades 4 of Spades

    Jaroslaw: Queen of Clubs Queen of Diamonds

    Bob had some outs to win the hand, but none of them showed on the 2 of Spades Ace of Hearts 5 of Diamonds 9 of Hearts 7 of Spades board, eliminating him in 5th place.

    5th place: Bob T – $13,500.00

    Maxime raised to 300,000 from under the gun, and Jaroslaw replied with a 3bet to 775,000 from the big blind. After a quick pause, Maxime slid forward a stack of 1,525,000, and quickly called off the 5bet shove of his opponent.

    Maxime: Queen of Clubs Queen of Diamonds

    Jaroslaw: Ace of Clubs Ace of Diamonds

    Board: Ace of Spades Jack of Spades 5 of Clubs 3 of Clubs 4 of Diamonds

    Jaroslaw improved to a set, and doubled up his 4,075,000 stack through Maxime, who was left with a little under 4-million after the hand.

    Azim Lavji

    Azim Lavji was sitting in the big blind when he 3bet shoved for a hair shy of 2-million. Simon, who was the original raiser, let his hand go fairly quickly, but Maxime threw in a calling chip from the small blind.

    Maxime: 7 of Spades 7 of Hearts

    Azim: King of Clubs Queen of Clubs

    The Ace of Diamonds 10 of Clubs 7 of Clubs flop made the table mutter, as both players were still neck-to-neck, but the running 5 of Spades and 9 of Hearts ran in favour of Maxime, who chipped up over 7-million.

    6th place: Azim Lavji – $10,000.00

    Tomas Larivee Magni

    Tomas raised to 375,000 from under the gun, and once action folded around to Ziggy in the big blind, he glanced over at Tomas’s 2,400,000 stack and announced all-in. Tomas went into the tank for a moment before eventually sliding forward his chips, and the two players were in a coin-flip situation.

    Tomas: 9 of Hearts 9 of Spades

    Ziggy: Ace of Clubs Queen of Diamonds

    Board: 2 of Hearts Jack of Diamonds 6 of Hearts 10 of Diamonds Ace of Hearts

    Ziggy found some help on the river to knock Tomas out, and increased his lead on this final table of The $250 Frenzy.

    Rodney Ramalho

    Rodney Ramalho started the day as one of the most experienced players in the tournament, and is ending it by proving what experience (plus skill and a little luck) can do for a tournament player. Although he has had a healthy stack for some time in the tournament, since the final table has come together he has managed to bump his stack up to around 1,300,000 chips – as much as 2x anyone else’s holdings to this point.

    Rodney was responsible for one of the last two eliminations – Sébastien Proulx in 8th place. We missed the action, but arrived at the table to see Rodney incorporate several full stacks of 20K and 100K into his own.

    8th place: Sébastien Proulx, $2,240

    Just seconds later we noticed Rong Xu make a snap call on Julien Baptiste Roger Arneodo’s small shove.

    Julien: Queen of Hearts Jack of Hearts
    Rong: King of Clubs King of Spades

    The community cards gave Rong the full house and the win – and send Julien to the Tournament Desk to get his payout coupon.

    7th place: Julien Baptiste Roger Arneodo, $2,950

    Adrian Dominik Jandziszak

    Ramesh Puradchithasan had been among the medium stacks near the bubble, but once the final table came together he found a spot to push – only to find a call from Rodney Ramalho.

    Ramesh: King of Spades 7 of Hearts
    Rodney: Ace of Diamonds 10 of Spades

    The flop of 10 of Clubs 6 of Clubs 6 of Spades put Rodney well in the lead and the turn 9 of Spades and river 2 of Spades didn’t change the outcome – Rodney stacked the chips and most likely became the chip leader.

    10th place: Ramesh Puradchithasan, $1,285

    Several minutes later found Adrian Dominik Jandziszak all-in and called by Neal Thornton. We missed the details, but effectively AJ lost to AQ – both hands offsuit on a rainbow board.

    9th place: Adrian Dominik Jandziszak, $1,695
