Hand #11: Michael Marder raised to 110,000 on the cutoff and Timur Margolin three-bet to 350,000, which Marder folded to.

Hand #12: Andre Haneberg opened from under the gun to 125,000. He got one call from Chris Ferguson and they ended up playing a hand that was bet across all three streets. Most notably, Haneberg check-called Ferguson's 300,000 turn and 500,000 river bets but mucked when he saw Ferguson's {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

Hands #1-4: Bojang Straightens Out Laplante

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #1: Chris Ferguson raised to 110,00 from the button and Timur Margolin called from the big blind. They went heads up to the {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and Margolin check-called a bet of 100,000 from Ferguson.

Both checked the {8-Spades} and the {q-Diamonds} river. Margolin showed {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} and his ace high was enough to take the pot.

Hand #2: Ryan Laplante raised to 120,000 from early position and Michael Marder reraised to 325,000 from the button. Laplante folded and Marder took the pot.

Hand #3: Margolin raised to 110,000 from the button and took the blinds.

Hand #4: Bojang raised to 115,000 from early position and Laplante called from the big blind. They saw a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and both players checked. The turn was the {k-Spades} and again both players checked.

The river was the {3-Spades} and Laplante checked for a third time. Bojang bet 160,000, sending Laplante into the tank for nearly two minutes. He eventually called and Bojang tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a turned straight to take the pot.

It folded round to Seth Davies in middle position and with 465,000 left, he moved all in. When the action reached Ismael Bojang, he isolated all in over the top for around 2,700,000. As as if that wasn't enough action, Chris Ferguson looked at his holding in the small blind, and after a brief pause, he made the call too.

Chris Ferguson: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Ismael Bojang: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Seth Davies {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The runout came {2-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the pocket kings held for Ferguson. The hand sends him soaring into the lead, with nine players remaining. We have now reached the official final table.

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Dylan Linde
Dylan Linde

Andre Haneberg opened early to 105,000 and only Dylan Linde in the big blind called.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Linde check-called Haneberg's 90,000 continuation.

The turn was a {3-Hearts} and once again Linde check-called a bet of 130,000. The river came {4-Diamonds} and Linde checked once more, as did Haneberg.

Linde showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and it was good to take the pot. He had been in joint first position prior to the hand but this pot pushes him further into the lead.
