[user46392]

Anton Wigg raised to 205,000 on the button but Morten Klein in the small blind made it 540,000. Wigg announced all in to cover, Klein called in no time at all, and they were on their backs.

Klein: ahead with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

Wigg: rather chancing it with but admittedly very live with {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

Flop:

{6-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Klein remained ahead.

Turn: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

No change there. Only a nine or a ten could spoil the party for Klein.

River: {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

Ouch. As Mr. Klein said in his exit interview, "That was a bad beat." Nevertheless he was an absolute gentleman about it as he hit the rail.

As we go heads up, Francesco de Vivo has a slight lead with 6.4 million. Anton Wigg has 6.1 million. That's about 80 big blinds apiece. Hope you're sitting comfortably - this could take some time...
