Knaves for De Wolfe

Hand #43: Dan Fleyshman called Ronald Lee's 65k preflop raise.

Flop: {J-Spades} {8-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. Both players checked.
Turn: {8-Spades}. Check to Fleyshman who bet 50k; Lee called.
RIver: {7-Hearts}. A fast double check led to showdown - both players held pocket pairs but Lee's {10-} {10-Clubs} pipped Fleyshman's {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} to take the pot.

Hand #44: Nicolas Levi opened for 72k, to pick up some blinds and antes.

Hand #45: Four flat callers in this one (big blind Fleyshman checking his option).

Flop: {10-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Everyone checked.
Turn: {3-Clubs}. Ron Lee bet 69k, de Wolfe now called, while Fleyshman and Bord got out of the way.
River: {5-Spades}. Lee now bet out 115k and de Wolfe instacalled with {J-Hearts} {J-}. This was in front of Lee (who also had two pair, we think Tens although the hand was mucked quickly on the feature table), so de Wolfe wins a fairly big pot.

Second Break

The players have in a way reduced their number by one per level (if you count the ten minutes at the beginning as a level). The fireworks will no doubt continue after the present 20-minute break.

Everyone's Timebank Still Full - Lots of Hands Per Hour on This Final

Hand #39: Fabrizio Baldasseri made it 65k preflop and Dan Fleyshman made the call in the small blind.

Flop: {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Clubs} Two quick checks.
Turn: A non-spade non-paint. Fleyshman checked, and out came 80k from Baldasseri - Fleyshman called.
River: {A-Hearts} Check once again, and a check behind - Fleyshman showed down {A-Clubs} {10-} for the full house - no enticement for Baldasseri with the river check - and scooped the pot to the rail fans saying, "Nice one Dan!"

Hand #40: Pass to Fleyshman on the button, who bet 65k. Roland de Wolfe called in the small blind.

Flop: {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} Check-check.
Turn: {6-Clubs} De Wolfe won that one right here with a swift bet out of 65k.

Squeeze from Bord

Hand #36: Fabrizio Baldassari raised to 67,000 from the button and Daniel Steinberg, who's been one of the quieter players at this final table so far, made the call from the small blind. James Bord, however, opted to reraise from the big blind, meticulously counting out 164,000 more on top.

Baldassari glared down at his stack for a moment before counting out his white 25,000 chips. A quick look up at the skies, a blow of the cheeks, and then the inevitable fold. Steinberg followed suit, and Bord picked up the pot having squeezed his opponents like a pair of fresh oranges.

Hand #37: In contrast to the prelfop action of the previous hand, Lee received the first walk of the day on the next.

Hand #38: Lee raised the small blind to 70,000 total and neighbour Dan Fleyshman called in the big blind. Both players checked the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop, but Lee took it down with a bet on the rag turn.

Fleyshman Takes Down a Sizable Pot

Hand #32: Nicolas Levi raised to 60,000 from under the gun. It was enough to take the blinds.

Hand #33: Ronald Lee raised to 51,000 in the cut-off and Dan Fleyshman made the call on the button.

Flop: {J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Lee bet 65,000, Fleyshman called.

Turn: {10-Diamonds}

Lee checked, leading to a bet of 95,000 from Fleyshman. Lee called.

River: {10-Clubs}

Lee quickly checked, and Fleyshman fired again, this time to the tune of 350,000, "a sizable raise," as Jack Effel called it.

Lee dipped into the tank, but eventually slid his cards into the muck.

Not de Wolfe's Moment

Roland de Wolfe: still going for it
Roland de Wolfe: still going for it

Hand 30: Roland de Wolfe made it 60k utg+1. Quick passing brought the action round to button Danny Steinberg, who made the call. Both blinds folded.

Flop: {8-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. De Wolfe checked, and Steinberg bet 65k. Head resting on his hand, de Wolfe folded after a pretty brief think about it.

Hand 31: De Wolfe raised the next hand to 58k, now under the gun, and Fabrizio Baldassari quickly made it 162k total. Pass back to de Wolfe who let go of another raised pot.
