Jour 1 terminé
Six players made the official final table of Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck. With 20 unique players and 22 reentries, a prize pool of $2,100,000 was collected which means that all six of them have made the money. First place will pay out $756,000 to the winner while all six players have secured at least $105,000.
The fifth final table during the Super High Roller Bowl Europe series sees Ivan Leow sitting in pole position with 3,870,000 in chips. Leow is joined by Seth Davies and Santi Jiang in the top three while Timofey Kuznetsov, Paul Phua, and Chris Brewer are also still battling for all the pay jumps.
Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Paul Phua | Malaysia | 1,270,000 | 64 |
2 | Santi Jiang | Spain | 2,320,000 | 116 |
3 | Seth Davies | United States | 2,670,000 | 134 |

5 | Timofey Kuznetsov | Russia | 1,485,000 | 74 |
6 | Chris Brewer | United States | 985,000 | 49 |
While this is the first final table for Leow, fellow countryman Phua is here for the second time. But for Davies, Jiang, and Brewer, this will be their third shot at grabbing a title this week!
Play will resume at 1 p.m. local time with just under 24 minutes left in Level 13 which has an ante of 20,000 while the button pays a double ante of 40,000. The level duration will remain at 40 minutes each and play will continue until a new champion has been crowned.
The final table won't be streamed on PokerGO as the plan is to broadcast a $200/$400 cash game to take place at the same time with players like Tony G, Leon Tsoukernik, and Rob Yong.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be focusing on Event #6: $100,000 NLH but will occasionally update on the progress of the final table.

The Super High Roller Bowl Europe is in full swing and as the final table of Event #4: $50,000 NLH plays down to a winner, Event #5: $50,000 Short Deck is set to kick off at 2 p.m. local time. The third Short Deck tournament of the series is the first where the buy-in has been increased to $50,000.
The first two Short Deck tournaments were won by poker legends Phil Ivey and Tony G. While Ivey is still battling on the final table, Tony G is expected to jump into the tournament at one point.
Players like Santi Jiang, Robert Flink, Chris Brewer, Paul Phua, Richard Yong, Danny Tang, Mikita Badziakouski, Erik Seidel, Stephen Chidwick, and more are expected to join the short deck fun too.
Players will get 100,000 chips at the start and two chances to reload and play 40-minute levels throughout. The late registration period will remain open until the start of Level 9 and players can reenter an unlimited number of times if they desire so.
