Martin Tsvetanov opened to 2,000,000 first to act and Ryan Plant three-bet to 9,000,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Tsvetanov, who shoved. Plant committed his remaining stack into the middle and hands were revealed.

Ryan Plant: 3♦3♣ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: J♥J♦

Plant was in rough shape, and the board ran out 10♦5♥J♣8♥2♥ — leaving Tsvetanov with a set of jacks to eliminate Plant in fourth place.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Martin Tsvetanov limp-called from the small blind in respect of a 6,000,000 raise from Gerald Karlic.

The K♠J♠5♣ flop was checked to the 8♥ turn, where Tsvetanov check-called a bet of 4,500,000 from Karlic.

The 5♠ river completed the board, and Tsvetanov only check-called versus a bet of 7,500,000 from Karlic, who looked surprised when Tsvetanov tabled A♠10♠ for the nut flush, with Karlic holding J♣6♦ for two pair, jacks and fives.

Player	Chips	Progress
Martin Tsvetanov	75,000,000 20,000,000	20,000,000
Gerald Karlic	48,000,000 20,000,000	20,000,000

Level 42 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Ricardo Caridade raised from the small blind and Martin Tsvetanov shoved from the big blind. Caridade quickly called all in for approximately 30,000,000 total and a showdown was held.

Ricardo Caridade: Q♣Q♦ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: A♠10♣

Caridade was in good shape to double up again with his queens, but the A♦3♣5♠9♠5♦ runout paired Tsvetanov's ace — eliminating Caridade in third place.

Martin Tsvetanov	89,000,000 37,000,000	37,000,000

Level 43 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Gerald Karlic limp-called from the small blind versus a raise to 8,000,000 from Martin Tsvetanov.

On the Q♦6♠2♣ flop, Tsvetanov led out with a bet of 5,000,000, which failed to shake off Karlic.

Tsvetanov slowed down on the 3♣ turn, check-calling a bet of 5,500,000 from Karlic. Tsvetanov then check-called a bet of 20,000,000 from Karlic on the 10♥ river, who left himself only 2,000,000 behind.

Karlic tabled 9♦6♣ for a pair of sixes, but Tsvetanov got there on the river with A♠10♣.

Karlic was forced all in blind in the next hand, and Tsvetanov made the call.

Gerald Karlic: 7♠4♥ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: J♣9♣

Although Karlic turned a pair, he was rivered on the Q♣6♠5♥4♥9♥ runout, and finished second for $396,086*, while sending Tsvetanov the title.
