Donev's Boat Floats

. Donev check-called a bet from Lederer. The turn was the 
. Donev check-called again. The river brought the 
. Donev checked a third time but on this occasion, Lederer checked behind. Donev showed
for a full house and Lederer mucked.
Flushed Away
Howard Lederer check-called bets of 8,000, 16,000, and 16,000 from Ivo Donev on a
board, before being shown 
and mucking.Donev is now hovering around the 300,000 mark.
Duvall Survives With a Chop
Jeff Duvall limped in from the cutoff, Howard Lederer raised from the button, Ivo Donev called and Duvall called. The flop was
. The action was checked to Lederer, who bet. Donev called, Duvall raised, Lederer reraised, Donev flat-called, Duvall raised all in for 1,000 more than the call, and both Lederer and Donev obliged. Betting continued on the side between Donev and Lederer. The turn was the
. Donev check-called Lederer's bet. Same story on the 
river. The hands:
Donev:

Jeff Duvall Eliminated in 4th Place (£22,000)
After a dogged performance that would have made Rocky look like a quitter, Jeff Duvall has finally bellowed out a few swan-related lyrics and exited in the fourth spot.
After a bet and two calls on a
flop (I didn't catch who the aggressor was), all three players checked the turn before Duvall led for 16,000 on the 
river. Lederer made it 32,000, Sherkhan Farnood stepped out of the way, and Duvall called all in.As The Professor revealed
for an A-2-4-6-7 low and a rivered nut flush, Duvall simply nodded his head and said, "That's good."With Duvall de-saddled, three remain.
