Mikael Rosen opened the pot to 75,000 from the button. Action folded to Charles Chua in the big blind, who shipped it all in, 575,000 worth of chips. He then hid his face in his hands as Mikael Rosen tried to engage him in a staring contest, looking for a sign of weakness. When this proved fruitless, Rosen mucked his cards.

The very next hand, Diwei Huang opened to 90,000 from the button and again Chua shipped it all in, this time from the small blind. The result was the same -- everyone else folded.

Edward Sabat has been the story of this final table so far, but he can't win every single pot. He completed his small blind and Mikael Rosen checked to take a heads-up flop of {5-Clubs}

. Sabat bet 50,000 and Rosen quickly called. When the turn came {6-Clubs}

, Sabat seemed to surrender the hand by checking it over to Rosen. Rosen wasted no time in firing out 60,000, a bet that folded Sabat.

We thought we might have our first family pot of the final table. Diwei Huang, Charles Chua and Edward Sabat all limped in, but Mikael Rosen spoiled the fun. He cut away some chips from his stack in order to raise it up to 170,000. That raise folded everyone else.

Diwei Huang opened with a raise on the button to 60,000. Edward Sabat made the call from the small blind.

The flop landed {9-Diamonds}

and Sabat checked to Huang who fired 60,000. Sabat called once more. The turn was the {3-Spades}

and again Sabat check-called the 60,000 bet from Huang.

The {4-Diamonds}

was the river and Sabat checked to Huang who fired a third barrel worth 150,000. Sabat deliberated making a reluctant call.

Huang tabled {3-Diamonds}

for trip threes which was good to take down the pot.
