Soren Jensen and Tim Vance, two colorful characters, are ready to begin this heads-up match. A title and more than $1.2 million await the winner. Only time will tell who will take it down.

The Beatles-singing Vance is now heads-up with the maniacal Soren Jensen to play for the whole enchilada, or whatever the Danish equivalent of an enchilada is. Here are the counts as they now stand.

Soren Jensen	$2,490,000
Tim Vance	$2,108,000

 

Magnus Hansen is out and we're going heads-up between Soren Jensen and Tim Vance. The action in his last hand began limped with Jensen in the small blind and Hansen in the big. The flop was a raggedy 10 9 4 and after a Jensen raise and Hansen re-raise, Jensen shoved. Jensen stood up and Magnus made the call for his tournament life with 10 6 against Jensen's 4 9 for two pair. The 5 gave Hansen a flush draw, but the 7 river ended that. He's out third and will cash 3,521,429 DKK.

Heads-up will start in a few minutes with Jensen ($2.49 million) in the lead over Vance ($2.1 million).

We're down to three here in Copenhagen and play has just resumed with the start of a brand-new level.

We're taking a 15-minute break with the end of the level upon us.

Tim Vance is still singing Beatles songs and we're still mashing them into our chip count titles. Here are the three-handed numbers.

Seat 4	Tim Vance	$1,962,000
Seat 5	Soren Jensen	$1,473,000
Seat 6	Magnus Hansen	$1,163,000

 

Rasmus Nielsen just made an outstanding call for all his chips and was rewarded with nothing but a bad beat. It started with Nielsen opening to $99,000 and getting re-popped by Tim Vance to $350,000. Nielsen was out of position but made the call. The flop came out J 9 7 while Nielsen buried his face in his arms. Vance took a second before announcing all-in.

Nielsen finally looked up to see what the flop showed and stood up from the table. "I call," Nielsen said with a shrug. Nielsen turned over the impossibly weak 8 8 and Vance said, "You've got a winner," as he rolled A Q. The turn was the J, giving Vance a few more outs, and the river was the ace of spades (because it's always the f!@?&ng ace of spades). With that sick excuse for fifth street Rasmus Nielsen is out in fourth for 1,560,394 DKK.

Tim Vance was every bit Tim Vance in a big confrontation with Magnus Hansen just moments ago. After making a $73,000 pre-flop raise and getting the call from Hansen, he bet another $160k into the 7 K 6 flop. Hansen decided to push putting Vance to a $700k decision.

After getting the OK from the TD, the American stood up to ponder his decision and running through just about every possibility Hansen could have pushed with, Vance broke into the Beatles’ “Lovely Rita Meter Maid”.

He first said he needed to fold, then pretty much told Hansen he had a king before saying he wouldn’t be able to lay it down. Eventually he did, ordering a cappuccino before sitting back down.

They flipped the structure around a bit, but the blinds are now up again. It's $15,000/$30,000 with a $3,000 ante.

Here are the counts after Danny Ryan's untimely elimination.

Seat 3	Rasmus Nielsen	$1,007,000
Seat 4	Tim Vance	$1,603,000
Seat 5	Soren Jensen	$1,077,000
Seat 6	Magnus Hansen	$911,000
