Finally, a Lull in Showdowns
The breakneck speed of eliminations seen at the start of this final has eased back this level, with fewer showdowns or even pots worth more than a few big blinds contested. Still, with the blinds at 30,000/60,000, a few big blinds represents a good proportion of the shorter players’ stacks; currently Adrian Mateos is in trouble stackwise, while Ivan Leow has been chipping back up (recently with a well-timed preflop threebet of Matthias Eibinger with [Ah8d] from the small blind).
| Player | Chips | Change |

| Ivan Leow | 2,430,000 |

| Sam Trickett | 2,350,000 |

| Matthias Eibinger | 1,600,000 |
-295,000  |
| Adrian Mateos | 680,000 |
