Level 26 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

In the fourth all-in versus James Worth, Phil Hellmuth has come unstuck once more and this time it sent him to the rail.

After opening the button to 22,000, Worth moved all-in and Hellmuth called off the rest of his stack.

James Worth {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Phil Hellmuth {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

It was off to the races as the pair went heads up to the flop and it came down {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Hellmuth was still looking for a queen or an ace to stay in the game but he couldn't find either on the {k-Hearts} turn or {j-Hearts} river and he left in third place.

Lakhov Busts Worth to Go Through

Level 29 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Alexander Lakhov
Alexander Lakhov

Less than five minutes after coming back from the break, James Worth got his last ten big blinds in from the button, which was called by Lakhov.

Alexander Lakhov: {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}
James Worth: {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Worth was the player who needed to hit as they went to the flop and it came {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. It was a fantastic flop for Lakhov and Worth needed running cards to turn the hand, and the tournament, around.

The {j-Clubs} sealed the deal and {2-Clubs} river completed the board. Alexander Lakhov will take 654,000 through to the final table tomorrow when Day 3 resumes at noon.

Linde is the Last Player to Go Through to the Final

Level 30 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Dylan Linde
Dylan Linde

Dylan Linde had pulled into the lead in the last couple of hands and going into a new blind level, meant there were only 33 big blinds in play. It was therefore not surprising to see an all-in and a call soon after the level went up. Linde was the one who shoved and Phong Nguyen made the call.

Dylan Linde {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Phong Nguyen {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The board came {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and a pair of tens for Linde was enough to win the hand and the table. Linde will take 668,000 through to Day 3 tomorrow.
