Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

[Removed:548] raised to 12,500,000 in the small blind with 10♥5♥ and Ashish Gupta three-bet jammed in the big blind for 68,500,000 with K♠8♣ to put himself at risk.

[Removed:549] quickly tossed his cards into the muck.

Ashish Gupta limped in from the small blind and David Uvaydov raised it up to 12,000,000. After brief consideration, Gupta pushed all-in for 86,000,000 and Uvaydov instantly called.

Ashish Gupta: Q♥J♠ All in
David Uvaydov: A♥Q♠

The Aussie needed to come from behind again to avoid elimination like he had done very early into the final table already. However, this time there was no escaping on the K♦Q♣6♣5♦6♥ and that spelled the end for Gupta.

Having come into the final last in chips, the Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed game specialist laddered up all the way to third place for a payday of $604,277 - his far best cash in a live poker tournament. The tournament is now in heads-up and a short break follows before Uvaydov and [Removed:548] will battle for the WSOP gold bracelet.

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

David Uvaydov raised to 12,500,000 on the button with K♣J♥ and [Removed:548] three-bet jammed in the big blind for 206,000,000 with A♦Q♥ to put himself at risk.

Uvaydov took some time to think through his decision knowing that he could potentially end the tournament.

"That's a big shove. That is a big shove," said Uvaydov, ultimately tossing his cards into the muck.

"You have like 40 bigs right? Might have folded the best hand," continued Uvaydov as the pot was pushed [Removed:549]'s way.

David Uvaydov opened to 11,000 with the A♥J♣ and [Removed:548] flat-called with the A♦5♦ for both players to check the 10♥9♦7♥ flop. On the 3♦ turn, [Removed:549] picked up the nut flush draw but checked and so did Uvaydov.

That led them to the 5♣ on the river, which was checked once more. [Removed:549] won the pot after pairing up his inferior kicker.

David Uvaydov limped in with the K♣Q♠ and [Removed:548] checked his option with the 8♥7♣. The 7♠6♣4♣ flop gave [Removed:549] top pair and a gutshot but he checked, Uvaydov checked back. Following the Q♥ turn, the lead changed and [Removed:549] now bet 5,000,000.

Uvaydov went into a brief tank and raised it up to 30,000,000 for [Removed:549] to fold.

David Uvaydov limped the button with Q♦3♥ and [Removed:548] checked in the big blind with 6♥5♠.

The flop came A♦4♥7♠ and both players checked to the 8♦ turn. [Removed:549] led out with an overbet of 25,000,000 with his straight and Uvaydov quickly folded.

The next hand, the duo saw a flop of 6♥10♣5♥ in a limped pot. Uvaydov checked with 6♠5♦ and [Removed:549] bet 5,000,000 with 9♥8♦. Uvaydov bumped it up to 17,000,000 and [Removed:549] called.

The turn landed the A♥ and Uvaydov continued with a bet of 25,000,000. [Removed:549] called and the river brought the 6♣.

Uvaydov moved all in with his full house and [Removed:549] quickly sent his cards into the muck.

Having fallen further behind, [Removed:548] was then in the big blind with the 8♦3♣ and David Uvaydov limped the button with the 6♦5♠ as they headed to the 8♥3♦2♠ flop. [Removed:549] check-called for 5,000,000 and the 3♠ turn was checked by both. Uvaydov was then relieved not to bluff the 10♣ river when he was shown the full house.

"Why no bluff?" [Removed:549] asked.

Uvaydov replied, "that is a good question."

[Removed:548] limped in holding the 10♥8♠ and David Uvaydov then raised to 16,000,000 with the 9♥3♦. Both players checked the Q♥8♣4♥ flop and Uvaydov took the lead on the 9♠ turn. The action went check, check, once more and that led them to the 4♣ on the river.

Uvaydov then pushed all-in and [Removed:549] folded, seeing his stack plummet into the danger zone.

From the next button, Uvaydov jammed the K♠4♦ and [Removed:549] folded the 9♠2♠ in the big blind.

[Removed:548] moved all in on the button for 56,500,000 and David Uvaydov quickly called in the big blind looking to end it.

[Removed:548]: A♠2♠ All in
David Uvaydov: K♥9♣

Uvaydov's rail could be heard cheering for a king, which appeared on the A♦K♦3♦ flop, but [Removed:549] was still in the lead with his pair of aces.

The turn landed the 8♦, giving outs to a chop and the river brought the 5♥, earning [Removed:549] the double up.
