A Deal Has Been Reached

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The final four players have agreed to an ICM chop to flatten the payouts based on their current stacks. The winner will then receive an additional 10% of the prize pool ($23,500) and the MSPT Main Event trophy.

The result ensures each player a new career-best tournament cash.

Hesam Fadaifar jammed for 1,290,000 from the button and was called by Sebastin Kolman in the big blind. Kolman had his at-risk opponent dominated.

Hesam Fadaifar: {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Sebastin Kolman: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board came {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, ending Fadaifar's day, but his $45,224 win is by far his largest career tournament score, and a huge score considering he earned his seat through a satellite on Club GG.

Lanes Getting Short

Level 30 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

After calling a button raise from Derek Molnar in the big blind, Rich Lanes led out on a flop of {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for 500,000.

Molnar raised enough to put Lanes all-in for approximately 1,500,000 more.

Lanes opted to fold and preserve his remaining 10 big blinds.

Just a couple of hands after losing the majority of his stack to Rich Lanes, when his pocket jacks were coolered by Lane's pocket kings, Derek Molnar limped his small blind then called off for a bit over 1,400,000 after Sebastin Kolman moved all in.

Derek Molnar: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Sebastin Kolman: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

The board came {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, with Kolman's flopped pair of aces taking the pot and bringing heads-up play between Kolman and Lanes.
