As the blinds have increased, the stacks have become a lot more shallow here at the Portomaso Casino in Malta. Unfortunately for Antoine Degiorgio, he couldn't stay afloat, and has become the first casualty of final table play. Quentin Spyckerelle has chipped up from a short stack to be around the middle of the pack.
Barrie Dear remains at the top of the counts, and the rest of the field is not separated by much.
