Hand #249 - Denes Kalo

We catch up with this hand with the board showing {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and with about 750,000 already in the pot. Denes Kalo passes the first action to Maxime Villemure, who makes a bet of about 500,000. Kalo wastes no time in calling and Max mucks his cards straight away. Kalo shows a mere {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and rakes in the 1.7 million pot.

Hand #248 - Glen Chorny

The button is with Denes Kalo in Seat 1.

Maxime Villemure raises from the small blind and Glen Chorny reraises an additional 300,000 in chips. Villemure folds and Chorny collects.

Hand #247 - Denes Kalo

Glen Chorny has the button in Seat 7 and folds. Denes Kalo then completes the bet form the small blind and Maxime Villemure checks his option in the big.

The flop comes {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Kalo check-raises Villemure's smallish flop bet, prompting Max to lay down his hand.

245 Hands and Counting

To give you some perspective on how long this final table has gone on:

The final table of the 2007 WSOP Main Event lasted 205 hands.

The final table of the 2007 WSOP-Europe Main Event lasted 211 hands.

The final table of the 2007 WPT Championships lasted 182 hands.

And we're at 245 and counting, with three relatively deep-stacked opponents for this stage of the tournament.

Hand #244 - Chop Chop

Glen Chorny has the button in Seat 7 and folds. Denes Kalo completes the bet from the small blind and Maxime Villemure checks his option in the big. Denes and Max check down the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts} board until Denes makes a bet of approximately 300,000 on the river. Villemure quickly calls and both players show aces with weak kickers to chop the pot.
