turn.
Jelassi bet 145,000 and Plauski called. The fifth and final community card was the

When you really need a double up there's not many better spots than to look down and see aces after an under the gun raise. Especially when the opener is Sergey Kuzminskiy who has hardly played a hand so far.
The Russian opened to 120,000 and tank-called when Warrington moved all in for 715,000 from mid position.
The board ran 
to miss both players.
Warrington, who has close links to Spain after living there for ten years, celebrated with his own and Diego Gomez's supporters.

Ben Warrington is down to just 735,000 and is in all-in or fold territory.
On hand #59 of the final table, the action passed around to Warrington on the button and the young Brit opened the betting with a raise to 125,000. The small blind folded but Aleh Plauski three-bet to 1,800,000. The oversized three-bet was designed to put Warrington all-in, but he did not take the bait and Plauski won without a showdown.

It took 52 hands for us to finally lose a player, and it was the short stacked Mark Herm.
He had hold of Sotirios Koutoupas' chips for precisely one hand. The man from Greece opened off the button and called in a flash when Herm shoved for 1.19m from the small blind.
Herm: 
Koutoupas: 
The board ran 
to make Koutoupas a full house by the turn.

Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Usually when players are down to 10-12 big blinds they waste no time in getting their stacks into the middle, but not Mark Herm.
Sotirios Koutoupas opened to 125,000 from the small blind and Herm made the call in the big blind. The 
flop saw both players check, but Koutoupas lead out for 125,000 when the 
landed on the turn. Herm called and it was off to the 
river.
Koutoupas checked, Herm bet 310,000 — over half of his remaining stack — and Koutoupas folded.
Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Sergey Kuzminskiy has been playing a very tight game at the final table so far, but has just played a hand against David Boyaciyan.
It was Boyaciyan who kicked off the preflop betting round, setting the price to play at 140,000 from his seat in the hijack. Kuzminskiy was next to act and he three-bet to 310,000. Boyaciyan called and it was heads-up to the 
flop.
Boyaciyan checked to his Russian opponent, who bet 475,000, forcing Boyaciyan to fold.
Aleh Plauski and David Boyaciyan tangled in an almost identical pot to the one earlier than the latter took down, and ended in the same result.
Plauski opened to 120,000 from the hijack and then four-bet to 650,000 when Boyaciyan three-bet to 280,000.
The flop fell 
and Plauski continued for 500,000. In the last hand Boyaciyan shoved but here he elected to min raise to 1,000,000. The move was just as effective as Plauski was forced to fold.

David Boyaciyan is now second in chips after he came of best in a clash with Aleh Plauski.
It was Plauski who opened the betting with a raise to 180,000 from the hijack. Boyaciyan was on the button and he three-bet to 300,000; but that was not the last of the betting. Plauski then four-bet to 725,000 and Boyaciyan called.
Flop: 
- Plauski made a continuation bet of 700,000 but quickly folded when Boyaciyan raised all in for 2,790,000 chips.
