Anton Wigg was one of the players we looked out for at the beginning of the day, but within hands after David Benyamine busted we also lost the EPT Copenhagen winner.
Wigg raised pre flop to 12,000 and he got three-bet to 35,000 by Roy Finlay who has been on a roll lately. The action got back to Wigg who thought about it for a while and than shoved for his remaining 270.000 chips. "I call," Finlay said with confidence and that was not what Wigg was hoping for.

The board ran out giving Finlay a set and the knock-out. Wigg left the room in style wishing the rest of the players good luck before he went to collect his money. "Within 40 minutes I went from short stack to chip leader," Finlay laughed. The Brit is having a great time here at the tables but he's still trailing Humbert, who can see his opponents coming closer.
Marton Czuzcor raised to 16,000 from the small blind and Phil Hellmuth moved al-in from the big blind. Czuzcor decided to bide his time and made the fold.
Roy Finlay is cleaning house over at the non-feature table. After eliminating David Benyamine and Anton Wigg he decided to set his sniper sights onto Bruno Benveniste.
Guillaume Humbert raised to 16,000 and Finlay called in the small blind before Benveniste moved all-in for 87,000. Humbert folded and Finlay made the call.
Phil Hellmuth is having a very tough day so far. Everything he's trying seems to go wrong ander after being shoved on multiple times he decided to put pressure on Allain.
Adrien Allain raised pre flop to 17,000 from the cut-off and after Czuczor folded it was Hellmuth turn to act. The fans favorite decided to three-bet to 54,000 leaving himself with 170,000 chips behind. "I'm all-in" Allain announced fairly quickly putting Hellmuth to the test once more. "I don't think I can call," Hellmuth sighed before he released his hand.
The champ is hurting and now one of the short stacks.
We are not going to be seeing much creative poker from Casey Kastle today. He is hovering around the 10bb stack and is picking his spots to move all-in.
The action folds around to Kastle in the small blind and he does move all-in. Azusa Maeda decides to fold in the big blind and Kastle picks up the blinds and antes again.
