The flop came {Q-}{10-}{8-}. Both players checked and the {K-Clubs} hit the turn. Marcus bet 130,000 and Clavet called, delivering the {10-Clubs} river card, putting three clubs out there. Marcus checked to Clavet and he fired 250,000. Marcus gave it up after a moment and Clavet took down the pot.

Clavet: Up to about 2,050,000
Marcus: Down to about 960,000

Ahmet Ucali Eliminated in 5th Place ($68,215)

Ahmet Ucali - 4th Place
Ahmet Ucali - 4th Place

Mathieu Clavet raised to 64,000 on the button and Ahmet Ucali went all in from the big blind for about 400,000. Clavet snap-called and the hands were revealed.

Ucali: {J-}{J-}
Clavet: {A-}{Q-}

The flop fell {9-}{8-}{7-}, keeping Ucali in the lead. Another {9-} on the turn changed nothing, but the river delivered an {A-} to make a better two pair for Clavet, upping his stack to nearly 1.6 million.

Amhet Ucali earned $68,215 for his fifth-place finish.

Clavet Takes More From Vasvenszki

Mathieu Clavet raised to 64,000 from under the gun and Zsolt Vasvenszki called in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the flop came down {10-}{9-}{3-}.

Clavet check-called Vasvenszki's bet of 72,000 and the {Q-Hearts} hit the turn, putting two hearts on the board. Both checked and the river was the {K-Diamonds}. Both checked again with Clavet showing {A-}{10-}, good enough to win the pot.

Vasvenszki took out his headphones, took off his sunglasses and asked for a count. Clavet said about 960,000 and Vasvenszki gave it up.

Clavet upped his stack to just over 1.1 million.
