Break

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The first level of the final table has come to a close and the players are on a break.

Flopped Boat for Klebanov

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Kevin Iacofano raised to 110,000 and found a caller in Andre Klebanov from the big blind. Needless to say, Klebanov has been quite active so far today. The flop came down {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Klebanov check-called a bet of 130,000 from Iacofano before seeing the {A-Spades} land on the turn. Here, both players checked and the {5-Spades} landed on the river. Klebanov bet 325,000 and Iacofano made the call.

At showdown, Klebanov revealed the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a flopped full house. Iacofano mucked and Klebanov raked the chips.

Questions

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From the button, Andre Klebanov raised to 100,000. Steve O'Dwyer called from the small blind to take the flop of {K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. O'Dwyer checked and Klebanov bet 125,000. O'Dwyer made the call.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and O'Dwyer checked for a second time. Klebanov fired 175,000 and, again, O'Dwyer made the call.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river. After O'Dwyer checked, Klebanov reached to his stack right away. But then, he opted to check behind. He then tabled the {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for queen high. O'Dwyer showed the {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of fours and won the pot.

"You didn't want to try and win that one with a bet?" asked O'Dwyer.

"Would you have called?" came back Klebanov.

"You would have had to bet to find out the answer to that question," responded O'Dwyer.

Miroslav Benes Eliminated in 8th Place (£64,000)

Miroslav Benes - 8th Place
Miroslav Benes - 8th Place

Miroslav Benes raised all in preflop for the second hand in a row. This time he was all in for 560,000. Benny Spindler made the call while everyone else got out of the way. Benes held the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and was up against the two overcards for Spindler with the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and put Spindler in front with a pair of kings. The turn {K-Clubs} gave Spindler trips and left Benes needing a nine on the river to double up in this contest.

The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts} and that was it. Spindler had won the hand with a full house, kings over deuces, and eliminated Benes in eighth place.

O'Dwyer Jams Over Klebanov

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

On the very next hand after Miroslav Benes shoved in, action folded to Andre Klebanov in the cutoff seat. He raised to 105,000. Next to act, Steve O'Dwyer raised all in for around 1.15 million in chips. Everyone folded, including Klebanov, and O'Dwyer won the pot.
