Ray Sukkar has the button in Seat 9.

Under the gun, Kenneth Damm raises it up to 225,000. In the big blind, Nali Kaselias announces a reraise, and first puts in the call. He cuts out another 650,000 chips and makes it a total of 875,000 to dance. That's enough to get Damm out, and Kaselias stacks the chips.

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

The first two players folded, and Kenneth Damm asked for a count on big blind Ray Sukkar. He announced that he was all in, and Sukkar quickly slid his last ~400,000 chips in, putting himself at risk of elimination.

Showdown:
Damm: {10-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}
Sukkar: {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

Needing to win to stay alive, Sukkar watched the board run out {2-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. He does indeed have the best hand at the end, doubling up to 810,000.

Lee raises to 200,000 and Kenneth Damm makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes down {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} and Damm checks. Lee quickly announces that he is all in and Damm folds just as fast.

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Ray Sukkar is nearly all in from the big blind, so he goes ahead and puts his remaining 65,000 more chips in blind. Kaselias makes the call, and Kenneth Damm announces a mini-raise to 160,000. Kaselias calls.

The board comes {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}, with the two live players checking it down the whole way. Sukkar needs to turn over the winning hand to stay alive.

Showdown:
Kaselias: {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades}
Damm: {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Sukkar: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Managing to re-draw to his two-outer on the river, Ray Sukkar triples up to stay alive!

2007 PokerNews Cup Champion Dory Zayneh has just been spotted on the rail as he wanders into the final table area to catch a glimpse of the action.

Dory was looking set for back-to-back final table berths after being amongst the chip leaders on Day 1 of this event, however things went awry for Dory during the second day of play to leave him exiting short of the money stage of the tournament.

We'll have a new champion here this evening, but who will it be?

David Lee has the button in Seat 4.

Ray Sukkar raises from the under-the-gun position to 275,000. Kenneth Damm moves all in for 1,095,000 from the big blind and Sukkar instantly calls.

Showdown:
Damm: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Sukkar: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The flop comes down {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} and Damm dodges the first three cards. The turn is the {2-Hearts} and gives Sukkar some added outs with a heart flush draw. The river fails to produce a heart, ace, or king when the {Q-Clubs} comes off.

Damm doubles to 3,870,000 chips, leaving Sukkar with only 150,000 chips.
