Killer Kovacs

Kovacs now has around 900,000 chips
Having been a quiet presence at the final two tables for much of Day 3, Jozsef Kovacs turned on the heater to quickly take us to 10 players.

The Hungarian first eliminated Frank Van Spaandonk in a blind battle, limp-calling his pre-flop raise from the small blind before checking the AKJ flop.

Van Spaandonk fired out a 30,000 bet for around half the pot and added another 50,000 when the turn was a blank. Kovacs check-raised all-in and with the Spaniard committed, he showed the nuts Q10 to beat Frank's K7.

Not content with that, Jozsef then picked up Aces just a few hands later - calling the all-in of Diego Bermejo and holding off his 10s to claim another scalp. His stack has now swelled to around 900,000.

Van Spaandonk wins €2,400 and Bermejo  takes €2,800.

We'll be taking a dinner break once the final table is set, with one more player set to miss out on the showcase finish.

Prize pool reminder - 1st - €33,000; 2nd - €20,500; 3rd - €15,000; 4th - €11,500; 5th - €9,000; 6th - €6,800; 7th - €5,300; 8th - €4,450; 9th - €3,850; 10th - €3,300
