Level 44
: Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
[Removed:548] 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 [Removed:549] 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. [Removed:549] called and failed to improve with the 8♣ on the river.
Uvaydov needed some time to make up his mind on what to do next and then bet 40,000,000 to force a fold from the chip leader.

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♠ 
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.

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.
