There have been no big pots yet in heads-up play and the only pot that made it to the river ended in a chop. Which at least made James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton happy.
Here we go again, still �25,700 up for grabs!
They agreed to take �700,000 each, leaving �25,700 in the middle for the winner. Julian Track is so ill that he agreed to the even chop immediately. We'll continue in a few minutes.

During three and four handed play Stephen Chidwick had been open limping fairly frequently from various positions and he did it once more with in the small blind. Georgios Sotiropoulos then raised to 340,000 with from the big blind and Chidwick announced he was all in for 2,785,000.
As he's done fairly often at the final table Sotiropoulos took his time before calling. Chidwick was a 60% favourite to double up but the flop reduced that chance to just 13%. And it was an unlucky turn and river for the Brit as the board ran eliminating him in third place. The same place he finished in the Eureka Main Event six days ago.
