Hand #50:

Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 6. Stanislav Alekhin opens with a raise to 42,000 from under the gun and the action folds around to Toni Hiltunen who re-raises, making it a total of 100,000 to go. Alekhin, always methodical, thinks for a bit before putting Toni to a decision for all of his chips. Hiltunen makes the call and a showdown ensues:

Hiltunen: {J-Diamonds}

Alekhin:

By the turn, the board had run out queen-high -- {3-Clubs}

-- and Hiltunen was drawing dead. The river, though irrelevant, was the {K-Hearts}

.

Alekhin improved to 2,187,000 in chips after the hand. Hiltunen will take home £108,600 in prize money for his efforts.

Hand #55:

Daniel Negreanu has the button in Seat 2. Ivan Demidov opens with a raise from under the gun to 39,000. Scott Fischman makes the call, as does Stanislav Alekhin, sending the action three-way to the flop: {J-Hearts}

.

First to act, Demidov checks to Fischman who leads out with a 45,000 bet. Alekhin then opts to raise, sliding a stack worth 135,000 into the middle. Demidov folds, and Fischman responds by moving all in. Stanislav quickly calls and turns over the {K-Hearts}

for the nut Broadway straight; Fischman tabled the {A-Clubs}

for top pair and a gutshot straight draw.

The turn and river brought running fours -- both black -- and Alekhin's straight held up, eliminating Scott Fischman from the tournament in sixth place.

'The Russian' now has over 2.5 million in chips.
