With four players left, we have reached the official final table. One player will be sitting out each hand in the four-max format since there are only enough cards for three players to play.
Maxim Panyak has built a decent chip lead during the past 2 blind levels with the remaining three players all around the same amount in chips.

Level 13
: 3,000/3,000, 0 ante
It didn't take long for the bubble to break once hand for hand was declared, as Kostiantyn Tupalo has just been eliminated in sixth place. All remaining players are now guaranteed at least a �30,410 payday.
Players were reminded that they can all agree to call it quits for the day and resume tomorrow. Jason Mercier quickly put an end to that conversation before it began stating, "I will go to bed when I either lose all my chips or win all of the chips."
Mercier shared with PokerNews on one of the breaks that he plans on entering the EPT Super High Roller tomorrow, which we imagine why he won't entertain extending the tournament to a two-day event.
