After Ka Kwan Lau opened to 25,000 from the cut-off, Martin Wiklund three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Back on Lau he reached for chips and hands shaking put 115,000 over the betting line. About 20 seconds later Wiklund announced all-in - it was roughly 485,000 total - Lau re-checked his cards and then made the call.

Lau: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Wiklund: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

It was a classic race and it went the way of the over cards as the board ran {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

If one man stands out in this field it’s Czech player Vit Blachut. Bearing a striking resemblance to Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, he had conjured up a stack of more than 800,000 coming into Day 4. But it’s not what he looks like but how he plays which is interesting, as the PokerStars Blog reports.

Marcello Miniucchi Eliminated

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Marcello Miniucchi open shoved from the button for his last remaining chips and received a quick call from Artem Metalidi in the big blind. With {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} Miniucchi was live against Metalidi's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, but it wouldn't do him any good.

The {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop meant a sticky situation getting even stickier and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn aleady sealed the deal. The {Q-Clubs} was there just to rub it in, the Italian had to leave the table to pick up his cheque.

Brulet Walks Trips Into a Flush

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With the turn already out there, the board read {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. It wasn't the first time Brulet and Chen clashed but it would be the last time for this tournament. Brulet, seated in the small blind, bet out 56,000. Chen made the call.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Brulet bet out 106,000 with approximately 220,000 behind. After Chen had informed how much his Belgian opponent had behind, he double checked his cards. He thought some more and then announced all in.

Brulet made the call but couldn't beat Chen's rivered flush with his {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Brulet showed his {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for flopped trips and exited the tournament.
