Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Grzegorz Derkowski potted the button to 350,000 and Renji Mao called from the big blind.

Upon seeing the dealer fan out the 2♠J♦5♠ flop, Mao jammed for 740,000. Derkowski snap-called with just a few big blinds more than Mao.

Renji Mao: 6♥6♣4♣3♥ All in
Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♣Q♦10♠8♥

Derkowski held the overpair against the wrap of Mao. A 9♠ hit the turn before the A♦ fell on the river to give Mao a straight.

Mao doubled to 2,330,000, while Derkowski was left with just 225,000.

"Let's make it a three-way all-in," Dario Alioto on the button said after everybody limped to see a flop of A♣5♦10♥. Alioto bet 150,000 and he was only called by Renji Mao in the small blind.

Mao led out for 400,000 on the 5♠ turn and was called, then on the Q♣ river, he raised the bid to 1,500,000.

Alioto snap-called with 10♦6♠5♣3♣ for a full house. Mao could only show Q♦J♠10♣8♠ for two pair and lost half of his stack.

Dario Alioto completed from the small blind before Renji Mao made it 300,000 from the big blind. Alioto limp-raised the pot, and Mao called for his stack of 1,120,000.

Renji Mao: Q♣J♣10♥6♣ All in
Dario Alioto: A♦Q♦8♠5♦

The dealer spread out the flop of 2♦2♥Q♥, giving both players a pair of queens to go with the pair of deuces on board, but Alioto was out in front with the ace-kicker. A 3♥ turn meant Mao was one card away from hitting the rail. The dealer put out the 10♦ to complete the board, and Mao had rivered a better two pair to survive.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a limped pot, Dario Alioto in the small blind and Renji Mao in the big blind checked a flop of 5♦4♣6♥. Alioto bet 100,000 on the 8♠ turn and was called, then asked for 100,000 again on the K♥ river.

Mao seemed very tempted to call, but wisely folded.

"Discipline," Alioto said.

In the next hand, Alioto on the button bet 125,000 on a flop of Q♣10♣Q♦ but Grzegorz Derkowski in the big blind check-raised to 410,000. Alioto went into the tank and eventually made the call.

Both players checked the K♣ turn, and the 10♠ river didn't bring more action.

"Straight," Derkowski said while flipping over J♦9♦7♠6♠. Alioto revealed A♣Q♥7♣2♦ for a flush and scooped the pot.

Grzegorz Derkowski completed from the small blind and Dario Alioto checked his option from the big blind.

Derkowski led out for the minimum of 100,000 on the A♣7♣6♣ flop, and Alioto called.

The 2♠ turn and 4♠ river checked through and Derkowski showed just A♠Q♠ for a pair of aces with a queen-kicker. Alioto tabled the winner with 8♦7♦4♣3♠ for two pair.

Renji Mao made it 200,000 on the button and Grzegorz Derkowski three-bet the small blind to 680,000. Mao continued with a call.

Derkowski committed his stack of 1,225,000 on the 2♥10♥6♦ flop and Mao called to try and get the tournament heads-up.

Grzegorz Derkowski: A♥K♥Q♦8♣ All in
Renji Mao: J♦10♠9♥8♦

Mao had top pair against the flush draw and overcards of Derkowski, with two cards to come. Derkowski improved to a higher pair on the K♠ turn, then hit the nuts when the 4♥ river completed his flush.

After winning the pot, Derkowski held the chip lead for the first time at the final table
