We're down to just four players after Kirill Gerasimov was elimanted in fifth place after a crucial hand that didn't go his way. The Russian will take home $192,870 though, by way of conosolation.

Horani or Houdini?

Adam Horani raised to $80,000 and Gersaimov made it $225,000, Horani made the call, putting 1/3 of his stack in the centre. The flop came K K 6, the Russian didn't like it, but set Horani in for the remains of his stack, the latter calling with K 3 T 9.

Tony G was in the crowd sweating Gerasimov and when he saw Hourani's cards, he muttered,"So sick."

Russian get out!

Kirill was drawing to just two outs with his A 5 A 2, understandably he failed to hit and was left with just shrapnel left.

Soon after, he was all-in with A-T-8-7 against Phil Galfond's A-J-8-5, but the board came J-9-6-6-6, meaning that Galfond's trip sixes with A-J high was the best hand and took the sorry remants of Gersaimov's stack. We're down to four and Gerasimov will take home $192,870. That's a lot of rubles (4,557,838 to be exact)!

An explosion of exits have occured during the last hour or so. From the eight remaining players, we've suddenly dropped down to just five players remaining thanks to the exploits of Phil Galfond and Johnny Chan.

Hellmuth Riddled With Bullets

Phil Hellmuth, now short-stacked once more, gets it all-in with A-K-T-4 against David Beyanmine's A-A-K-4 which had him totally crushed. The board came out 8-6-2-T-2 and the Poker Brat will have to wait for another event for that 12th bracelet. He takes home $100,292 as a consolation though.

Negreanu Next!

Like Hellmuth, Negreanu was equally short, and made a move with K K J 5, but he ran into Galfond's A A 2 2, Galfond flopped the nut flush when it came 9 7 5, Negreanu saw outs on the turn when he hit a set with the K, but the paired board didn't come as the ultimate blank, the 2 came on the river. Negreanu picks up $123,437 for 7th place minus the $85,000 he spent on rebuys...

John Juanda. 

John Gone

John Juanda and Johnny Chan see a 9 8 2 flop, Chan bet the pot for $48,000, Juanda re-raised the pot and Chan moved in with Juanda calling.

Juanda: K T 9 7

Chan: T 9 8 2

Chan was ahead but Juanda had a huge draw with any king, jack, six or spade to put him the lead. The turn was a 7c losing Juanda the jacks and sixes to a chop, but now any seven would be good as well. The river was the 2s making Juanda's flush but giving Chan a full house. John Juanda was out, but takes $154,296 for his win.
