Well, well, after hours and hours of 7 handed play, finally something snapped and we have an elimination.

Read on for details.

Kloeck Lock!

Max It Up!

Kloeckner found himself relatively short with $200,000, but called Lennart Holtkamp's raise from the big blind.

The flop came Ah 8s 6s and Kloeckner liked what he saw betting out $75,000.

Lennart moved in on him and Kloeckner called for his tournament life.

Holtkamp flipped A-K-T-5 for jsut top pair whilst Kloeckner showed up with T T 9 7 for a gutshot straight flush draw and wrap.

Lots of outs for Kloeckner made him the favourite, although none were prettier than the 9 on the turn, locking up the pot for Kloeckner with a mighty straight flush!

This was perhaps the most exciting moment of the final table as he doubled up to $400,000, the audience gasping at the incredible hand.

'Kamp Out (7th)

Max Pescatori limps in in early position, seeing a flop with both blinds, Greg Hurst and Lennart Holtkamp.

The flop came K 2 8 and a check from Greg Hurst was followed by a $21,000 bet by Lennart.

Max called, but Greg passed.

The turn was the A. Holtkamp checked it and Pescatori led for $75,000. Lennart now check raised to $165,000 all-in!

Max instantly called, unsuprisingly as he had a set of Kings in K K 9 9.

Lennart could only table A J 5 6 for top pair and the nut flush draw.

Max needed to fade a spade to get paid, which he did, meaning we bade goodbye to Lennart, busted in 6th place, winning $38,365 for his troubles.

Here are the chip counts as the final proceeds 6 handed, Max Pescatori propelled into the chip lead.

Play continues sedately, the rail watching patiently for the fireworks to begin, but so far, Allen Cunningham has kept himself afloat without dominating.

Kyle Kloeckner has been the primary aggressor, making the most preflop raises to take pots down.

You'll have noticed from the last update that Hegeman had become very short and here's the story of how that came to be.

Hegeman Hedged Out

Vying For The Lead

With Jonathan Depa raising up to $42,000, Kyle Hegeman re-shoved on him, for $150,000 feeling his tens were probably good versus his range, but he ran into the Queens of the shortstacked Holtkamp behind. Depa laid down whatever he had.

A Queen on the flop pretty much sealed his fate, and a cruel Ten on the river to give him a redundant set rubbed salt into the gaping wound in his stack.

Hege Funds

An exciting hand played out between the Italian Pirate Max Pescatori and Kyle Hegeman.

Shortish stacked now Hegeman banged in a raise to $42,000 off his just over $100,000 stack.

Pescatori called and the two players saw a flop of 6 7 K.

The Pirate announced a bet of $65,000 before Hegeman moved in for his last few remaining chips on top. Pescatori called...

A-K-J-5 for Pescatori gave him TPTK, but Hegeman was in the lead with K-Q-T-7 for top two pair.

An Ace on the turn was disastrous news for Hegeman and he was heading out of the competition without a Jack or Seven on the river but the dealer was feeling kind and slid out a seven to fill up Hegeman and leave the Pirate feeling like pulling his cutlass out and slicing some land lubbers into pieces.

It seems like no one is able to dominate at the moment, the stacks all concertina-ing together in size, meaning play remains cagey as we close in on the bracelet.
