Hand 64

Marcel Luske raises to 25,000 with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Frazer in the big blind has a long think about making a move with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} but gives up his big blind.

Hand 65

Luske open-pushed with {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. With blinds at 5,000/10,000 and a stack of 207,000, the huge overbet takes the pot.

Hand 66: A Double-Up for the Champion

Juha Helppi just calls in the small blind with {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Marcel Luske in the big blind announces all in with {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Helppi (97,000) calls.

"The way I've been running you'll probably flop a straight."

Board: {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Helppi doubles up through Luske.

Hand 67: Scharf Out

Scharf moved all in with {10-Clubs}{5-Spades} for 34,000 but ran into {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} from Helppi who made the call.

Flop: {Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Turn: {Q-Hearts}
River: {9-Spades}

No help for Eddy Scharf and he finishes in 5th place. Just one league point from this game means he'll need a good result tomorrow to lock up a top four place.

The World is Wrong!

In the booth, Roland de Wolfe and Phil Hellmuth are discussing Scharf's open-push with a 10-5 offsuit.

Roland: "I'm not a math player, but the math is pretty clear on this - you have to try to pick up pots uncontested."

Phil: "Actually, I've won millions disagreeing with you, playing the opposite way to how the world thinks you should play."

Hand 73: Ian Frazer Eliminated

Frazer raised to 30,000 from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Helppi called.

Flop: {9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Frazer had just 44,000 left and moved all in, with Helppi quickly calling.

Turn: {2-Clubs}
River: {A-Hearts}

No help for Frazer and the two points he earns are not enough to climb out of the relegation zone.
