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

The turn landed the A♥ and Uvaydov continued with a bet of 25,000,000. Roiter called and the river brought the 6♣.

Uvaydov moved all in with his full house and Roiter quickly sent his cards into the muck.

David Uvaydov opened to 11,000 with the A♥J♣ and Klemens Roiter flat-called with the A♦5♦ for both players to check the 10♥9♦7♥ flop. On the 3♦ turn, Roiter 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. Roiter won the pot after pairing up his inferior kicker.

Klemens Roiter limped the button with K♣3♠ and David Uvaydov raised to 21,000 with the K♠J♠, picking up a call by Roiter. On the 10♠9♥4♠ flop, Uvaydov had a gutshot and flush draw but checked, Roiter bet 16,000,000 and Uvaydov called.

The 4♦ on the turn went check, check, and Uvaydov then bet the K♥ river for massive 76,000,000 to receive a quick call. Uvaydov scooped the large pot and cemented a large lead in heads-up all of a sudden.

Uvaydov then limped the button with the 9♦7♣ and then called a raise to 16,000,000 by Roiter with the K♥9♥. The Q♣10♥8♥ flop provided draws to both players and Roiter bet for 12,000,000, Uvaydov called.

David Uvaydov raised to 12,500,000 on the button with K♣J♥ and Klemens Roiter 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 Roiter's way.

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 Klemens Roiter will battle for the WSOP gold bracelet.

Klemens Roiter opened the second hand in a row, this time to 10,000,000 with 9♣7♠. Ashush Gupta three-bet jammed the second time and his K♠J♠ won the pot without resistance.

David Uvaydov then limped the 9♠9♦ from the small blind and Roiter checked the 7♠4♥ from the big blind to hit second pair on the 5♣4♠2♦ flop. Both players checked to the 8♠ turn on which Uvaydov bet 10,000,000 with his overpair. Roiter called and failed to improve with the 8♣ on the river.
