The action had been very slow for a couple of orbits. Very little playing back, and very little post flop action.

Davidi Kitai, for one, must've been getting a little board. Hence.....

He opened to 48,000 in the cut-off and Hans Winzeler three-bet to 133,000 from the next seat. Kitai checked his cards one more time and put in a pot-sized four-bet to 535,000.

Winzeler wasted little time in throwing his cards into the muck, only to be shown by the cheeky Belgian.

Davidi Kitai	1,550,000	347,000
Hans Winzeler	1,050,000	-314,000

Daniel Hindin raised to 48,000 in the cutoff, Naoya Kiraha three-bet to 180,000 and it was enough to win the pot.

Hans Winzeler raised to 48,000 in first position, Kihara called in the cutoff as did both blinds. The flop was and Winzeler won the pot with a 105,000 c-bet.

Then Davidi Kitai won the next four hands in succession after uncontested 48,000 raises.

Hans Winzeler	1,364,000	196,000
Daniel Hindin	1,252,000	-48,000
Davidi Kitai	1,203,000	120,000

What a turnaround for Daniel Hindin! He just doubled through Naoya Kihara and over took him at the top of the counts.

The hand started with a Hans Winzeler button limp, a Hindin complete, and a check from Kihara in the big blind.

The flop fell and Kihara was the first to bet, for 70,000. Winzeler folded and Hindin raised the pot (282,000). Kihara found out that Hindin had 635,000 total and set him in for that amount. Call.

Hindin: for nut-flush and straight outs.
Kihara: for an over-pair and second nut-flush draw.

The turn came to make Hindin's flush. He still had to avoid full house outs and managed that as the river fell .

The chips are really evening up making this anyone's game now.

Daniel Hindin	1,300,000	577,000
Naoya Kihara	1,200,000	-723,000

Chris De Maci raised to 44,000 in the hijack seat, Tommy Le three-bet to 162,000 and De Maci mucked his cards.

Then Davidi Kitai raised to 44,000 in the cutoff, Hans Winzeler called on the button and this brought Naoya Kihara into the hand from the big blind.

Flop:

Kihara checked, Kitai made a small 38,000 bet and Winzeler sniffed it out. He made a 108,000 raise and both players folded.

Naoya Kihara	1,923,000	-44,000
Hans Winzeler	1,168,000	126,000
Davidi Kitai	1,083,000	-82,000
Chris De Maci	876,000	-4,000
Tommy Le	566,000	46,000

Chrid De Maci opened the pot to 42,000 from under the gun and was called by Tommy Le and Davidi Kitai from the next two seats.

All three checked the flop before De Maci led for 78,000 on the turn. Both opponents called again. All three thwn went back to their checking ways on the river.

De Maci opened and took the pot as Le and Kitai folded.

Davidi Kitai	1,165,000	-126,000
Chris De Maci	880,000	268,000
Tommy Le	520,000	-118,000

Naoya Kihara raised to 70,000 from first position and Davidi Kitai peeled from the button. The flop was and Kitai called a 155,000 Kihara c-bet. The turn card was the and this time Kihara decided a little bit of pot control was in order; he checked, Kitai bet 165,000 and Kihara called. The river card was checked through and it was time for a showdown.

Kihara
Kitai

Both players had straights, but Kihara's was slightly higher and he took down the pot.

Naoya Kihara	1,967,000	390,000
Davidi Kitai	1,291,000	-390,000

There are 19 minutes left of this level. The players have been introduced and play is back underway.

We're at the official final table of six after the elimination of Scott Bohlman. Hans Winzeler came second in this event last year and he confirmed a return to the final table this year after it was he who busted Bohlman.

Bohlman raised to 70,000 from second position and Winzeler was the only caller to the flop.

Winzeler check-bet-pot after Bohlman bet pot himself. That was enough to set Bohlman all in. Call.

Bohlman:
Winzeler: for the flopped straight, and redraw to a flush.

Bohlman was in bad shape and he didn't improve through the turn and river.

Hans Winzeler	1,042,000	0
Scott Bohlman	0	-208,000

The action has reached snails pace at the moment. We have seen three flops in the past fifteen to twenty minutes and here they are.

Davidi KItai raised to 44,000 in early position and both blinds called. The flop was and the action checked through to Kitai who bet 56,000. Kihara folded in the small blind but Chris De Maci check-raised all-in for 348,000 and Kitai folded.

Next we saw Kitai raise to 43,000 in first position and Tommy Le defended the big blind. The flop was and Kitai won the hand with a 58,000 c-bet.

Last we saw Daniel Hindin raise to 70,000 in early position and Davidi Kitai defend his big blind. The flop was and a 150,000 Hindin bet scared off Kitai.

Naoya Kihara may have slipped into second place behind Davidi Kitai but that hasn't altered his relentless style of play.

He raised to 70,000 from early position and was only called by Daniel Hindin in the big blind.

The flop fell and Hindin check-called a 140,000 bet. The turn appeared as and Hindin checked to hear his Japanese opponent announce, "Pot."

He folded and said, "Nice hand."

Naoya Kihara	1,600,000	335,000
Daniel Hindin	720,000	-193,000

Scott Bohlman made a rare foray into the pot when he raised to 40,000 in the hijack seat and Davidi Kitai defended his big blind. The flop was and Kitai came out leading with a bet of 38,000; Bohlman called. The turn card was the and Kitai was in no mood to slow down. He bet 85,000 and Bohlman couldn't stand the heat.

Davidi Kitai raised to 43,000 in early position and Naoya Kihara three-bet from the small blind to the tune of 152,000. Back to the Belgian World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet holder and he four-bet to 472,000. The action swung back to Kihara and he went deep into the tank. We doubt that Kihara would have seen the four-bet bluff made by Kitai earlier as they were seated on different tables, but nevertheless, he was in deep thought mode.

Kitai just remained calm with his fingers gently rubbing his chin. Kihara was focused and his girlfriend thought it would be a great opportunity for a photo…snap…Kihara mucked his hand.

Davidi Kitai	1,695,000	278,000
Naoya Kihara	1,265,000	-278,000

The players are on a twenty-minute break

Scott Bohlman has just found another double up, this time through Hans Winzeler. Winzeler raised to 30,000 on the button and Bohlman moved all-in from the big blind. Winzeler called and we had a showdown.

Bohlman
Winzeler

Board:

So aces-full for Bohlman who moved up to 296,000. Winzeler now has 730,000.

Hans Winzeler	730,000	200,000
Scott Bohlman	296,000	104,000

The final seven players are being redrawn on to one table after the elimination of Jason Dewitt.

He opened to 32,000 from under the gun and called when Hans Winzeler three-bet to 104,000 from the big blind.

The flop fell and Winzeler led for the pot (216k) and called when Dewitt shoved for 323,000.

Winzeler:
Dewitt:

The board ran out and after a count down, the dealer worked out that Winzeler had Dewitt covered.

The players are being moved to the secondary feature table now. We'll have the table redraw for you very soon.

Hans Winzeler	750,000	130,000
Jason DeWitt	0	-580,000

Davidi Kitai knows how to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and he is using that experience to his advantage. He really has had an excellent few levels that has resulted in him catching the chip leader with 1,310,000 chips. Here is he getting a little fancy on us.

Kitai raised to 34,000 in the cutoff, Chris De Maci three-bet to 86,000 on the button, Kitai four-bet to 312,000 and De Maci mucked his hand. Kitai then flung into the air for everyone to see. Now there's a statement!

Davidi Kitai	1,310,000	340,000
Chris De Maci	730,000	-229,000

Scott Bohlman has been card dead all afternoon when he was in desperate in need of a double up. Eventually, with his stack as low as 96,000, he picked up a hand in the small blind and decided to go with it. Naoya Kihara was seated in the big blind and obliged to give Bohlman the chance to double up or finish in 8th place.

Bohlman
Kihara

Board:

"Have I won?" Asked a very calm looking Bohlman.

He had won, with a pair of tens, and doubled up to 192,000.

Naoya Kihara	1,310,000	10,000
Scott Bohlman	192,000	-31,000

He managed to double up once, the next time didn't work out too well for him.

He (big blind) and Davidi Kitai (small blind) got all the chips in when the action was folded to them. Cheong had less than 150,000 chips at that point.

Kitai: .
Cheong: .

The board ran .

Running diamonds did it for Cheong, and he busted.

Davidi Kitai	970,000	150,000
Joseph Cheong	0	-197,000
