The final table is quickly turning into the Ryan Otto show, with the New Zealander sending Mladen Vukovic to the rail in a hand that ate into five minutes of the break.

It was Vukovic the man driving the action on what would prove to be his last hand of the tournament, making it 18,000 to go from the cutoff, and Ryan Otto three-betting to 60,000 from the button. Vukovic called to take the action heads-up to a flop of {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, check-calling Otto's 30,000 continuation bet.

The {10-Diamonds} turn saw the betting pattern repeat, with Vukovic checking once more before calling Otto's 90,000 second barrel to bring in the {4-Spades} river.

This is where chips went in, with Vukovic checking and Otto moving all-in, much to Vukovic's displeasure. Vukovic re-checked his cards.

"I think it's time, Kempson," he said the Corey Kempson, who was watching on from the rail, before slapping down the call.

"Straight," said Otto, rolling over {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

"Well played," said Vukovic, flashing {a-Spades}{10-Spades} before shaking Otto's hand and heading for the cash desk to pick up AU$77,539 for his fifth-place finish. Otto stacked up to 1.3 million after the hand before heading off on break.
