Timothy Finne Eliminated in 3rd Place ($110,324)

Timothy Finne - 3rd Place
Timothy Finne - 3rd Place

From the button, Danny Hannawa made it two bets to go. Timothy Finne moved all in from the small blind for 79,000. Gavin Smith got out of the way and Hannawa made the call.

Hannawa: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Finne: {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

The flop brought the {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} pairing Hannawa's ace. Finne would need running straight cards to stay alive.

The turn brought the {j-Spades} sealing Finne's fate. The river was the meaningless {8-Hearts} and with Finne's exit, we find ourselves heads up.

No Showdown This Time

Limit

Gavin Smith limped from the button and Danny Hannawa checked his option.

The flop came down {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked.

They also checked the {6-Spades} turn.

When the {4-Diamonds} fell on the river, Hannawa checked to Smith who fired out a bet. It went uncontested and Smith dragged the pot.

Break Time

Our final two players managed to burn through about a half-dozen more hands of limit, with neither taking an especially huge pot from the other along the way. They've reached the end of the level, and are now taking a 20-minute break to get back into a no-limit frame of mind.

We'll get you a fresh count in just a sec.

Hannawa's Pair is Good

No-Limit

Small Ball

No-Limit

Much as both players have done for nearly every hand of heads-up during the no-limit round, Danny Hannawa limped in from the button. Smith checked.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Smith bet 55,000, and Hannawa called.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs}. Smith checked, and Hannawa quickly bet 125,000. Smith just paused for a moment and then folded.
