6:06pm: Break time; updated chip counts
The last three are taking another 20-minute break. Click here for continuing updates starting with Level 33. Here are the counts at the break:
Manuel Martinez (Spain) -- 14,645,000
Sebastian Supper (Germany) -- 7,875,000

6:02pm: Martinez collects after Silbernagel mucks
With just a couple of minutes left in the level, Gilles Silbernagel opened with a raise to 375,000 from the small blind with one of his two cards showing -- the [Td]. Manuel Martinez called from the big blind, and neither of his cards were picked up.
Both checked the [2h][Qh][Jc] flop, then Silbernagel bet 375,000 on the [7d] turn. The river was the [Kc]. Silbernagel stacked plaques and pushed out a bet of 700,000, and Martinez called. Silbernagel tapped the table and said "good call," and in fact mucked his hand, meaning no one got to see Martinez's hand.
5:51pm: Pablo Gordillo eliminated in 4th (€56,600)
After Gilles Silbernagel opened with a raise from the small blind with [Jh][Js], Pablo Gordillo pushed all in for 2.15 million from the big blind with [Kd][Qd] and Silbernagel called.
The flop came [6s][Ad][8h], then the [Ts] turn provided a couple more outs to Gordillo in the form of the two remaining jacks. But the turn was the [Tc], and after Silbernagel shook his hand and gave him a hug, Gordillo hit the rail in fourth.

5:41pm: Martinez retakes lead from Supper
On next hand after being bluffed by Gilles Silbernagel, Sebastian Supper opened for 325,000 with [Ac][8s] from UTG and Manuel Martinez called from the big blind with [6d][3c]. The [3h][5c][9h] hit Martinez's hand, and he led with a bet which Supper called. Both checked the [6c] turn that gave Martinez a second pair.
The river was the [Ts] and Martinez bet 575,000. Supper thought a while then called with his ace-high, and Martinez collected the pot. Martinez pushes ahead of Supper on that hand to retake the lead.
5:37pm: Silbernagel bluffs Supper
Sebastian Supper raised to 325,000 from the button with the [Td] and an unseen second card, and Gilles Silbernagel called from the small blind with [Jh][8h]. The flop came [Qh][Qc][Ah], Silbernagel checked, Supper bet 350,000, and Silbernagel called. The turn was the [4c] and both checked.
The river was the [Ks]. Silbernagel carved out 600,000, and after Supper let his hand go, Silbernagel showed his bluff as he was shipped the chips.

It folded around to Sebastian Supper in the small blind who raised to 400,000 with [9c][9d], then Joseph Mouawad reraised all in for 3,755,000 total with [Ah][Qd]. Supper hemmed and hawed a little, then made the call to create a 7.6 million pot and put Mouawad at risk.
The flop came [2s][4c][Qc], giving Mouwad a pair and the lead, but the [Jc] brought a club flush draw for Supper. Then came the river... the [9h]! A set for Supper, and Mouwad is out in fifth. Meanwhile, that pot appears to have carried Supper ahead of Martinez into the chip lead.
Joseph Mouawad - 5th place
5:07pm: Some for Silbernagel
In the first hand of the new level, Gilles Silbernagel raised the minimum to 320,000 from UTG with [Qc][Js] and it folded to Joseph Mouawad in the big blind who called (his hand not being shown).

The turn then brought the [Th] to pair the board, and Silbernagel shoved all in for 2,955,000 or about twice what was in the pot.
Gordillo thought for over a minute, then finally let his hand go to. Silbernagel is up close to 4.4 million after that one.

The flop came [9d][9s][5s], giving Supper a full house and causing Mouawad to grimace. A jack on the turn sealed it, and Supper now has about 4.6 million while Mouawad slips to 2.3 million.
Sebastian Supper
4:34pm: More for Martinez
Pablo Gordillo completed from the small blind with [Qs][7d] and Manuel Martinez checked the BB with [6s][3c]. The flop came an interesting [5c][6d][3h] -- a gutshot for Gordillo and two pair for Martinez -- and both players checked. The [9d] fell on the turn, giving Gordillo a double belly-buster draw, and he led for 385,000. Martinez called.
The river was the [9c], pairing the board. Gordillo thought a bit then checked, and Martinez checked behind, collecting the pot.
Manuel Martinez
4:29pm: Martinez over Mouawad
Contrasting somewhat with the first two hours of Day 4, we're seeing a lot of raise-and-takes and relatively small pots so far during Level 31. We just had an exception to that, however, in a hand between Manuel Martinez and Joseph Mouawad.
Martinez raised to 250,000 from the button with [Ac][3s] and Mouawad decided to defend his big blind by reraising to 380,000 with [7c][5s]. Martinez then four-bet to 750,000, and after a brief pause Mouawad called.
The flop came [4c][5c][As]. Mouawad led for 600,000 with his pair of fives, and Martinez called with top pair of aces. The turn brought the [4d], and this time both checked. The river was the [8c]. Mouawad fired 800,000 this time, and after thinking a while Martinez called to win the pot.

Pablo Gordillo raised to 250,000 from under the gun with [Ks][9d], and Manuel Martinez pushed out some of those plaques, reraising to 650,000 from the cutoff with [Qd][Td]. It folded back to Gordillo, and he let his hand go.

The flop came [Th][Jh][8d], giving Gordillo an open-ended straight draw while Martinez's queens were still ahead. Gordillo checked, and Martinez bet 550,000 -- about half the pot. The usually fast-acting Gordillo took his time responding, eyeing Martinez a few times while riffling his chips slowly. Then after two minutes Gordillo announced he was all in, and Martinez called right away.
The turn brought the [7h] and the river the [3s], and Martinez earned the big double-up. With the day's first break approaching, Martinez is the chip leader with almost 7.3 million while Gordillo falls down around 4 million.
