We're now heads-up at the final table of Event 36, the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em tournament and Jesper Hougaard is running like god. Here's how the last two eliminations played out as we prepare for the mano a mano culmination to this thrilling event.

Wong Gone!

Aaron Kanter raises to $130,000 and Danny Wong moves all-in over the top for his last $380,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Hougaard moves all-in to isolate and Kanter gets out of the way. Wong is well ahead with K K against Hougaard's A 5, but the flop is a killer for Danny boy, coming Q T 6 to give Hougaard the nut flush.

The turn is the 8 and the river the J and Wong is eliminated in fourth place. He'll take $217,110 for his finish, although he'll doubtless wonder what might have been as he's counting his stacks.

DeKantered!

A few hands later, Kanter gets his last $800,000 in the middle preflop against Hougaard, Q Q against K J. The flop comes A 4 3 and the turn the 7. Kanter looks primed for the double-up, but the river is the dagger K and Hougaard spikes the best hand, busting Kanter to the delirious cheers of his countrymen.

Kanter is out in third and earns $258,862 for his efforts.

Heads-Up!

We're now heads-up between Hougaard and Cody Slaubaugh, with Hougaard holding a $6.6 million to $850,000 chip advantage. Game on!

It's more and more looking like the Jesper Hougaard show at the final table of the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em tournament. With four players remaining, Hougaard has jumped to a substantial chip lead and looks to be in complete control of the proceedings.

Wong Takes A Hit

Danny Wong and Hougaard are in the blinds and see a flop come A 7 4. Wong bets out $50,000 and Hougaard makes the call. The turn is the 9 and Wong again fires, making it $131,000 to go. Hougaard again flats and the river is the 2. Wong bets a third time, making it $205,000 to go. Hougaard tanks for a few minutes before re-raising to $570,000 and Wong gives the matter some thought before laying it down.

Kanter Doubles!

Jesper Hougaard puts Aaron Kanter all-in from the small blind and the 2005 WSOP final-tablist makes the call, showing K T to Hougaard's K 5. The board comes K 8 3 T 4 and Kanter makes two pair to double through Hougaard, who maintains a big lead on the rest of the field.
