Final Table Recap
Volodymyr Palamir was the final table short stack, but hung around valiantly as the battle to survive intensified. It took half an hour before Simon Brandstrom fell at the hands of chip leader Timothy Kelly.
Kelly wasn't done there, sending Michael Sklenicka to the rail having flopped two pair, and also Palamir. The Ukrainian held pocket kings and rivered a set, but Kelly had made a flush to notch up his third elimination in a row.
The chip lead was now so large for Kelly, that he held almost five times that of second-place Jerry Odeen. Thomas Hueber was now the short stack, and was eliminated when shoving ace-seven into the pocket jacks of Felix Stephensen.
The five players battled it out for over an hour, with no one managing to make inroads in Kelly's chip lead. Philipp Hofbauer was sent to the rail by Kelly, before Joakim Andersson ran queens into the sevens of Kelly. However, a seven on the flop saw him take the lead and eliminate yet another player.
The following hand, Stephensen was eliminated by Kelly, bringing the tournament to heads-up with Kelly holding 225 million to Odeen's 34 million.
