Final Table Recap

Ciro Perna started the day as the chip leader and put pressure on the shorter stacks. But it was Vivian Saliba who would take out Omid Kamali Novin. She would see Pablo Finini bust before she had to leave the table too.

Things didn't go to plan for Perna as he doubles others up a few times and before failing to bluff Rolf van Brug on the deuce-eight-trey-six-deuce board with his ace-queen for the latter to catapult to the chip lead.

2018 WSOPE Main Event champion Jack Sinclair was out in fifth place after he shoved his king-five into the ace-king of Gicovanu. Alessandro Pichierri was next to go after having been in the middle of the pack for most of the final table.

Van Brug's run ended in third place when he ran his last 8.5 big blinds into the pocket eights of Gicovanu with ten-nine. With a 2:1 chip lead, Gicovanu went into the heads-up battle with some confidence.

Marius Gicovanu - Emil Bise — Heads-up between Marius Gicovanu and Emil Bise
