Daniel Harwood is in a great mood. The money pressure is off and he is in the mood to play some poker with his big stack and go for the trophy. He’s raising a lot of pots, getting some cheeky value from thin holdings and showing the occasional bluff.
Harwood even suggested switching from hour to 40-minute levels, which they are entitled to do if all agree, but Eric Cech for one wasn’t interested.
Daniel Harwood had a quick five-minute break to make up his mind and came back to shake hands with both opponents. Play will continue as £8,000 are left aside to be played for, as well as the coveted golden winner trophy. Below are the amounts that the final three players have locked up.
Daniel Harwood: £95,000
Rehman Kassam: £81,320
Eric Cech: £70,000
Play will continue momentarily.
It seems it was Yuriy Boyko who wasn't interested in the deal presented last time so, with him out of the tournament, they are looking at ICM again and the clock is on pause.
Daniel Harwood opened for 340,000 from first position and got one call from Yuriy Boyko in the big blind.
The flop was 
and Bokyo checked it over to Harwood who continued for 600,000. Boyko responded with a check-raise to 1,300,000 and seemed taken aback when Harwood instantly went all in.
Boyko took a moment but called for his tournament life.
Harwood: 
Boyko: 
“No hearts,” said Harwod.
The turn was the 
and the river the 
.
Harwood rapped the table in jubilation and dabbed before giving Boyko a, “Good game.”

In the first hand back from the break, Eric Cech raised to 350,000 from the dead button and Yuriy Boyko called in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Boyko bet 285,000, Cech called. Both then checked the turn and 
river. Boyko showed 
and Cech mucked 
.
The next hand, Rehman Kassam opened to 330,000 and Boyko three-bet from the small blind. Daniel Harwood four-bet almost instantly to hefty 4,260,000 and that forced folds from both opponents.

The action folded to Eric Cech and he raised to 260,000 from the small blind. Short stack Clement Tripodi moved all in from the small blind and Cech asked for a count. The shove of the Frenchman was for 1,665,000 and Cech called just before the end of the level.
Clement Tripodi: 
Eric Cech: 
The flop fell 
and Yuriy Boyko said "we got a sweat" to the rail. Neither the 
turn nor the 
river helped to improve Tripodi and he has been eliminated in 5th place for £31,510.
