It started when Montgomery raised to 230,000 from the small blind. Richardson then bet 550,000 from the big blind and Montgomery made it 1,200,000 total. Richardson took some time, but he eventually folded.

Lucky River for Carlson

From under the gun, Mick Carlson opened the pot with a 175,000-chip raise. In the small bind, Adam Richardson made the call.

The flop came out {7-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn card was a {8-Spades} and Richardson fired a 225,000-chip bet. Carlson called.

The river brought a {5-Clubs} to the felt and Carlson a 415,000-chip bet from Richardson.

Richardson tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Carlson took the pot with his {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Carlson is now up to 2,750,000 chips, Richardson slipped to 3,150,000.

Daniel Fuhs Eliminated in 4th Place ($152,655)

Daniel Fuhs - 4th Place
Daniel Fuhs - 4th Place

Daniel Fuhs was extremely short stacked when he went all in for 525,000. Scott Montgomery called from the big blind and we were off to see how Fuhs' tournament life would turn out.

Fuhs: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Montgomery: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The flop was no help to Fuhs when it came {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The turn was a meaningless {3-Hearts} and the river was the {3-Spades}. Fuhs failed to pair either one of his overcards and was eliminated in fourth place.

We're now down to three-handed action and will be back in a moment with detailed chip counts.

Chop Chop

Scott Montgomery opened the pot with a 160,000-chip raise, and was called by Mick Carlson in the small blind.

The flop ran out {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Carlson check-called a 225,000-chip bet from Montgomery.

The turn card was a {4-Spades} and both players checked. The river brought a {q-Clubs} to the felt and the players checked again.

They both had {k-}{10-}... chop chop!
