Just days after winning his first Super High Roller Bowl Europe title, Phil Ivey returns to the final table once again for Event #4: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em looking for a second.
However, with seven players returning he sits fifth in chips, with Selahaddin Bedir in pole position. Bedir will also be out for revenge after finishing second to Johan Guilbert two days ago.
Danny Tang started yesterday's final table as the chip leader, but was the first elimination. Today he hopes to go from last to first starting seventh in chips.
Selahaddin Bedir raised to 55,000 and Danny Tang shoved for 240,000. Bedir called and the cards were turned over.

Phil Ivey was denied a second Super High Roller Bowl Europe title in four days after succumbing to Selahaddin Bedir heads-up in Event #4: $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
After finishing runner-up to Johan Guilbert in Event #2, Bedir topped a 52-player field to win $832,000, the biggest cash of his career. That brings his combined cashes this festival to almost $1.2 million, more than any other player.
Saman Nakhjavani continued his strong SHRB Europe performance with another final table, taking home a career-best $364,000 for his third-place finish.

Event #4 saw five players making their second final table of the festival, including Danny Tang. After coming into Event #3 as the chip leader he started this final table as the short stack and was the first elimination at the hands of overnight chip leader Selahaddin Bedir.
Phil Ivey was the only one of these five to have won a SHRB Europe title, and after doubling early he continued to battle against Bedir for the chip lead.
Three Americans made the final table, with Seth Davies the first to fall at the hands of Jake Schindler. Schindler had shoved pre-flop with sixes against Davies' ace-queen, and even though Davies flopped an ace, Schindler rivered a set to eliminate his compatriot.
Bedir still held the chip lead, and strengthened his position with the elimination of Albert Daher in fifth. Schindler briefly took a spell in the lead before Bedir wrestled back control.
With Nakhjavani growing ever shorter, four-handed ICM pressure saw Bedir shoving pre-flop to put maximum pressure eon his opponent. This told for Schindler, who called it off blind on blind with ace-queen, only for Bedir to flop a set and eliminate Bedir. Nakhjavani was eliminated the following hand, and Bedir took a strong chip lead into heads-up play.

After the opening exchanges between Bedir and Ivey, it seemed almost inevitable that the tournament would end up between the two. Bedir held a strong chip lead and seemed set to force the action, shoving on Ivey in the hope of coming out on top.
On the second of these occasions, Ivey called but received no help on the runout with Bedir securing the first live poker title of his career.
