Tam Truong and Yalcin Kaya clashed in a big pot that reduced the field to the final two players and the clock has been paused while the WSOP Circuit Ring is brought out.

All three remaining contenders have now enjoyed stints as chip leader but for Yalcin Kaya his time at the top is over and he has hit the rail, with Tam Truong the man to send him there.

After Dinh Pham folded the button, Kaya completed the small blind and Truong juiced it up to 72,000 with Kaya making the call to bring the duo to a flop of {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Kayas checked it over to Truong, who fired out a continuation bet of 75,000, which was called to bring in the {4-Clubs} turn. This is where all the chips went in, with Kaya checking, Truong betting full pot for 294,000 and then calling off the rest when Kaya shoved.

Yalcin Kaya: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Tam Truong: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}

While Kaya had the best of it pre-flop with jacks and had paired his king, Truong had hit a set to leave Kaya drawing to the decks two remaining jacks. The {q-Diamonds} was not one of them and Kaya got up to shake both opponents hands, before heading for the cash desk to collect the AU$32,994 on offer for third.

Truong stacked up to 1,949,000 after the hand, but it is Dinh Pham who will be bringing the chip lead into the heads-up confrontation with a stack of 2,470,000. With the jewellery now on the table and a WSOP Circuit title on the line, let's see who has the favour of the poker gods.
