Fung raking in those double-up chips
Oh to run good one time. If poker players get nine lives Steven Fung definitely just used one up at this final table. He moved all in for 675,000 after Thomas Bichon opened to 100,000. Action folded around to Rep Porter, who moved all in himself, drawing groans from Fung's supporters in the gallery. Bichon quickly folded, leaving Fung and Porter heads-up with Fung at risk of elimination.
Cards, gentlemen!

Fung remained in his seat, staring glumly at the center of the table. His expression did not change on a flop of . The turn , however, was the perfect sweat card. Porter could only smile and shake his head when he saw it, as if he knew exactly what was coming next.

Uri Keidar now has over 2.5 million in chips after winning a recent pot against Thomas Bichon.
Bichon opened the pot with a raise to 100,000 from the button which was called by Keidar in the big blind. The flop came and Keidar check-called a 160,000 bet from Bichon, sending the action to the turn:
Keidar then took the lead in the hand, opening with a bet of 215,000 that sent Bichon into the tank.
"Such a bad card for me," said Bichon, taking one last look at his cards before sending them into the muck pile.
Keidar flashed the with a smile before raking in the pot.

We hate going so long in between updates, but the pace of play at this final table has been very deliberate. Not only has it been deliberate but there also hasn't been much in the way of raises, re-raises or flops. We're not saying it's boring, because it's not. What we are saying is that it may take a while before we have a winner because each of the remaining five players is acting with an abundance of caution.
