Jensen exits stage right; Toni senses his big chance

Johnny Jensen's day is done after his big stack crashed in dramatic fashion in Sunny Beach.

The ParadisePoker pro had been dominating early on but his super aggressive style got him into trouble and saw him head to the rail.

Still aloft at the top of the Tour League for now, the Dane is in real danger of losing that honour - as well as a cheque for €10,000 - as his main rival for the season victory is still in play.

Toni Merivuori (pictured) can surpass Johnny's 2009/10 score of 192 with a 34-point addition to his current 159 tally.

After making the final table in London, the Finn needs a 66th-place finish to achieve that goal and walk away the cash prize plus free entry into all of next season's events.

Here are the standings as they were at the start of play:

1st Johnny Jensen 192
2nd Toni Merivuori 159
3rd Lim-wai Cheung 151
4th Georges Tohme 146
5th Daniel Dankelman 121
