Down to just 35,000 Talal Shakerchi, who was on the button, said: "I don't know if I should bother looking." He did look and then moved all-in. "I don't know what I should do," said Paul Phua who then folded the small blind. "Wow," said Mikita Badziakouski, "Can't believe you didn't call!"

The Belarussian already had 40,000 in as he was the big blind, so he took 5,000 back and it was time for the showdown. Shakerchi showed {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} while Badziakouski held {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. "He has the best hand, I folded seven-four," exclaimed Phua.

The {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} flop was therefore pretty amusing to the table, there were, even more, laughs when the {4-Hearts} hit the turn. The {2-Clubs} river made Badziakouski two pairs and the winning hand to eliminate Shakerchi and just like that we're heads-up with Paul Phua having a four to one chip lead.
