There were 308 survivors who had all secured at least €1,120 each but were all looking to climb that pay ladder. Many familiar names like Antonello Ferraiuoli, Pete Chen, [b[PLAYER="jerry-odeen"]Jerry Odeen[/PLAYER][/b], and many more failed to get to the later part of the day.
Calzoni was on the road to the top when he first knocked out Floor ten Zijthof and then Martin Kabrhel in 22nd place to give him over 11 million. The eliminations didn't go any slower and when they still had to play four more hands, Nicolae Modrea busted in the final one to the queens of Farhat.
When play resumes at 10 a.m. CET here at the King's Resort, the unofficial final table will be played at the feature table. The level duration will remain 40 minutes long with a break after every three levels. The first level of the day will feature a small blind of 150,000, a big blind of 300,000, and a big blind ante of 300,000.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be there from the start with ten players with live updates until the start of the official final table and then follow the delay of the WSOP Youtube stream which is estimated to start at 6 p.m. CET.
