The final three players have decided to pause the tournament to discuss a possible deal. We will get back to you as soon as there's word from the tournament floor.

We're down to three as Nicola Sasso has just busted out of the tournament in fourth place.

The board showed  when Iozza moved all in and Sasso put in the call for his tournament life.

Iozza showed  for the best starting hand in poker and he was way ahead against Sasso's .

Sasso was still drawing live, but the meaningless  on the river did not help him. Sasso was knocked out and just three players remain who are all guaranteed ot make at least €14,800.

Domenico Cesta was seated in the cutoff and raised to 160,000 and Nikola Prijovic opted to three-bet to 360,000 from the button. Cesta gave it some thought and ultimately he made the call.

With a new level, and a very fine looking red chip valued at 100,000, the action is now back underway. Most of the 5,000 chips have been taken out of play, this to make betting, raising and calling that much easier with the big chips.

We'll be right back with more poker action as the final table of the PlanetWin365 €100,000 Guaranteed tournament continues.

The board showed  when Nicola Sasso faced a 250,000-chip bet from Jerome Iozza. Sasso went into the tank for a bit but ultimately he opted to fold his hand.

The aciton has been very tight recently as our remaining players are quite content folding their cards constantly. The money jumps are quite significant and this could factor into the passive playing style currently displayed at the final table. 

In 15-minutes there will be a break and perhaps that will shake things up a little bit, as there's very little to report from the Portomaso Casino right now.

Nicola Sasso and Nikola Prijovic just fought out an interesting battle, which was mostly conducted before the flop. Prijovic raised to 100,000 from the button and Sasso opted to three-bet from the big blind to 255,000.

Prijovic made the call and folded when Sasso bet another 355,000 on the  flop.

Alfonso Riccardi has been eliminated in sixth place after losing back-to-back big hands. First he lost a big pot against Nikola Prijovic followed by his final hand against Robert Tarpey. Riccardi ended up all in before the flop and the showdown went as following.

Riccardo showed  against Tarpey's  and the board brought no help for Riccardi. He's been eliminated in sixth place and we're down to five.

Giovanni Safina was knocked out in seventh place and we're already down to our final six. The board read  when Safina ended up all in against Domenico Cesta after quite some action.

Cesta bet 190,000, Safina three-bet to 380,000 after which Cesta moved all his chips into the pot. Safina made the call and showed  for both a flush and straight draw. Cesta was ahead as he tabled  for a straight. The river brought the  and Safina missed his draw and was knocked out. 

We are now on Level 27, as very tight plays continued. We're barely seeing any flops and most hands are being contested preflop. The pay jumps are significant and that's likely the biggest factor for this passive play.

Nikola Prijovic raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Alfonso Riccardi made the call from the button. The flop brought out and both players checked after which the turn brought the .

Once again both players checked and the river brought the . The action was checked again and both players checked again. Riccardi showed  and that's enough over Prijovic's .

Four players saw a flop after they all invested 100,000 and it showed . The hand was checked down on all streets as the and competed the board. The pot worth 450,000 went to Robert Tarpey who showed , adding 50% to his stack.
