Button Power
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Since then, the two remaining heads-up-o-nauts have been taking it in turn to go all in from the button - but so far we have yet to see a call.
At this rate, they're in danger of delaying the start of Round 5, scheduled for 25 minutes from now...
Marginal Fold
Huck Seed took five minutes to fold to a 130,000 push from Howard Lederer on the button. He kept looking back at his hand struggling to make his mind up. Eventually he let it go telling Lederer he folded king-eight suited. Lederer said he was dominated and pushed light of his normal shoving range. Seed said he should've probably called.
Grapeless Seed
So it comes down to our last remaining Round 4 match-up - Huck Seed vs. Howard Lederer.
Right now the smart money is on Seed - he's leading on 335,000 to Lederer's 145,000.
These most recent hits came when Lederer checked the river of a 
board, 100,000 in the pot, before folding to a 100,500 from Seed. Next, Lederer opened for 26,000 on the button before folding to a push from Seed.
This has to be over fairly soon, though - Seed is down to just three grapes in the enormous fruit bag he brought down with him...
McLean Dies Hard (£22,847)
Neil Channing progresses, beating McLean Karr after a hard-fought match in which both players seemed to be relaxed and playing confidently, but in which the stack advantage was usually (and not by much) on the Channing side. The final hand saw Karr limp on the button, big blind Channing make it 15k more, and Karr calling.
The flop of 
saw the rest of the chips go in, as Channing's bet of 23k was raised to 57,500 and it was a short shove-call process after that to get Karr all in for his tournament life drawing with 
against Channing's . The turn and river came blank 
to knock out Karr and progress the reluctant entrant into this event still further.
JC Rises Again; Martin Kabrhel Eliminated (£22,847)
Jim Collopy and Martin Kabrhel were pulling no punches preflop in the last ten minutes, taking turns to re-raise each other preflop or simply move in over the button's raise. These large bets were uncalled the first few times both parties made them, but then Kabrhel asked for a countdown on Collopy - 191k the answer - and called. He held (on the button) 
against Collopy's 
. From the way neither player reacted you'd hardly have known that Collopy spiked the on the turn to double through and leave Kabrhel short once again.
"You're running really hot," Kabrhel did allow himself to say. "It's a good skill to be good at showdown."
"I could've pretended I thought I had Aces," said Collopy.
That pretty much spelled the end of Kabhrel, who got it in with his own dominated Ace - 
vs. 
but failed to outdraw Collopy who progresses to the next round in just half an hour's time.

Wilf Won't (£22,847)
...Won't progress to the next round, that is.
It looked as though the last of Saar Wilf's chips went in on the river of the 
board but never came out again. He cried, "Oh no!" as Andrew Feldman revelaed 
for top pair, and that was that for Wilf.
We'll be seeing Feldman in around an hour for Round 5.
Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Big Shove
Every match seems to have quietened down and headed back towards being even in chips this level, with few showdowns and few pots over 30-40k. A couple of exceptions have been sudden threebet shoves preflop for pretty huge stacks, though. Huck Seed pushed forward two stacks of white 25,000 chips (new to this tournament) over the top of Howard Lederer's 21,000 raise, and it took several minutes and at least two re-checks of his cards for him to fold.
Next to them Jim Collopy moved in in the big blind over a raise to 17k. The countdown revealed that this was 247k, so original raiser Martin Kabrhel was covered, and would be calling all-in. He finally decided against it.
