I can see into your soul...
I can see into your soul...
With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} on the turn, Alex Kravchenko checked, and chip leader Ola Brandborn fired out 4,500 like it was nothing at all. Kravchenko tanked for a minute, then called. The river was the {Q-Spades}. Kravchenko checked again and it was Brandborn's turn to tank. He gave Kravchenko the ol' stare-down as he thought for several minutes before finally checking behind.

Kravchenko flipped up {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flush and Brandborn mucked. The Russian's stack was up to 23,000 after the hand while Brandborn had a still-massive 80,000.

Gus Hansen Eliminated

A Danish player may take down this tournament, but it won't be Gus Hansen. The Great Dane just hit the rail and was immediately swarmed by TV cameras. He's still giving interviews in the hallway as we write this.
