Fabian Craib Eliminated in 4th Place ($56,790)

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

An just like that, we have another player out. No sooner had we returned from the break, did we witness another elimination to see us left with just three players.

The hand started with Anthony Hachem opening to 250,000 from the button, before being met with an all-in from Fabian Craib for a total of 2,320,000 in chips. Hachem got the count and made the call, as both players tabled their cards.

Craib: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Hachem: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Although he had to sweat a few outs on the flop to lose the hand, Hachem propelled himself to overwhelming chip-leader, after the board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Craib came into this final table as the chip-leader, and played well, as he earned himself $56,790 for his efforts.

Yogo the Ace

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

Anthony Hachem opened to 250,000 from the button, and was called by Iori Yogo on the big blind. The flop came {J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Yogo checked. Hachem slid out a bet of 280,000 in chips and was instantly called, as the {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn. No betting from either player saw the {Q-Hearts} complete the board. Yogo once again checked, as Hachem thought for a moment, before throwing in a bet of 350,000. Yogo snap-called and watched as Hachem tabled his {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Yogo then rolled over {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} for the better full-house, as he climbs back over five million in chips.

Michel Bouskila Eliminated in 3rd Place ($74,700)

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 10,000 ante

Anthony Hachem folded from the button, before Michel Bouskila moved all-in for 2,500,000 in chips. Iori Yogo made the call as both players tabled their cards.

Yogo: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Bouskila: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The flop came {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} with Yogo still in front. The {4-Clubs} came on the turn, leaving Bouskila to hit a seven to win the hand. The {8-Spades} completed the board, and after a quick count of chips, it was determined that Yogo had Bouskila covered by only 45,000 in chips.

Yogo Gets Some

Level 28 : 80,000/160,000, 10,000 ante

The start of heads-up play has started cautiously, with both players not wanting to be to aggressive early on. Iori Yogo has slowly chopped away at Hachem's stack, closing the gap between the two.

In the most recent hand, Hachem opened to 350,000 and was called as both players saw the flop come {3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. From there, both players checked it down, as the board ran out the {7-Clubs} and {10-Spades}.

"A five," said Hachem, tabling his {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Yogo casually tabled {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a pair of fives also, but had the ace-kicker to win the hand.

"A four," announced Hachem, tabling his {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for flopped-trips. Yogo mucked his hand, dropping down to 5,750,000 in chips.
