Carey Continues Heater, Takes from Hawkins

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Maurice Hawkins opened to 230,000 from the button, Justin Carey defended his big blind and the dealer fanned out {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on the flop.

Action checked to Hawkins, he bet 200,000 and Carey check-raised to 615,000. Hawkins called and the {a-Diamonds} peeled off as a turn card. Carey moved all in for more than enough to cover Hawkins who hit the fold button after a moment of thought.

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dan Chalifour
Dan Chalifour

Dan Chalifour led the tournament for most of the latter part and came into the final day with the lead. He was atop the leaderboard for most of today until a hand where he opened from under the gun and Ostapchenko moved all in for 2,665,000 from the big blind. Chalifour called and the two tabled their hands with Chalifour ahead.

Dan Chalifour: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Andrew Ostapchenko: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came down {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, smashing Ostapchenko with a set but Chalifour still had plenty of outs to take down the pot. The turn came down with one of them when the dealer turned over a {9-Hearts}, giving Chalifour a straight and the lead. The lead shifted once more on the river as the {9-Diamonds} landed, filling up Ostapchenko who took down the pot for a massive double, leaving Chalifour short.

Chalifour double the very next hand with {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} against Ostapchenko's {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, bringing him back up to the 800,000 mark. The hand to follow had Ostapchenko call another all in from Chalifour and the players tabled their hands, revealing a classic flip.

Dan Chalifour: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Andrew Ostapchenko: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Ostapchenko's sailboats took down the pot, eliminating the start of the day chipleader from the tournament in fifth place for a respectable $35,947.
