Final Three Knotted Up

Event 16: $1,000 + $90 6-Hand Max No Limit Hold'em

The final three players have been moving chips around the table for over an hour without making significant headway.

At one point, Steven Levy took a pot from Dan Spirer. On the river, the board read K Q 9 J 4. Dan bet 400k, Steven moved in and Dan called the extra 147k. Steven held KT for the King-high straight. Dan held Q4 for two pair. Steven doubled up to about 2.3 million while Dan was left with ~780k.

Dan got some of it back a few hands later. On a flop of K K 4, he checked, Steven bet 150k, and Dan called. Turn was a Ten and the third heart - both checked. River was another Ten and Dan bet 200k. Steven called and Dan showed K4 for the full house. Steven mucked.

All three are still very close in chips, with the average being ~1.5 million.

Blinds have just gone up to 25k/50k with 4k antes.
