Danish domination; we're down to three

The Danish players are now in pole position to go heads-up, with three more threats removed in Philipp Roch, Romain Rouxell and Barthomiej Kakol.

The German, French and Polish competitors fell in quick succession, with Roch's exit the biggest surprise after he went to war with the aggressive duo.

His PPT season ended with a 6th-placed finish worth €4,620 after he was three-bet for the second straight hand by Anders Loringen (pictured) and came back over the top holding J♥J♠.

Loringen tanked before calling with A♥Q♦ and the bullet hit him on the turn to eliminate Philipp.

The Frenchman Rouxell was not far behind, but his executioner was Marek Viscak.

It wouldn't have been the PPT Bulgaria final without Danish involvement however, as both Aske Muff and Marek called his all-in and checked down before the Czech player rolled his full house to win the pot.

Muff would soon rectify that rare defeat however, putting an end to the fading hopes of Barthomiej Kakol with A10.

"I was delighted with my finish," said Rouxell after his exit, "This is my first PPT and I won my entry so to finish 5th is great.

"I was able to play some good poker over the course of the two days, thanks to the structure, so it was a really good experience."
