The Arzoomanian one way traffic has been halted and Daniel Stacey is almost level thanks in part to the following hand.
Stacey opened to 100,000 and Arzoomanian called. Arzoomanian check-called a 100,000 bet on the flop and then checked the turn. Stacey bet 200,000 and was check-raised to 500,000, a bet that he called.
Both players checked the arrival of the river and Arzoomanian showed , a hand that was good until the river because Stacey held .
Paren Arzoomanian opened to 80,000 and called the 240,000 three-bet from Daniel Stacey. The latter checked the but then check-raised when Arzoomanian bet 200,000. Arzoomanian folded and we're still heads-up.
Paren Arzoomanian has been the dominant force since the deal was struck and has now opened a lead similar to that pre-deal.
Two recent hands stand out, the first saw Stacey raise to 80,000 and then call when Arzoomanian made it 210,000 to go. A flop was bet by Arzoomanian to the tune of 175,000 and Stacey called. Arzoomanian then bet 250,000 on the turn and Stacey gave his hand up.
Shortly after, Arzoomanian raised to 80,000 and called the 240,000 three-bet from Stacey. Stacey led for 190,000 on the and was called. Stacey then checked the turn and folded to a 250,000 bet from Arzoomanian.
The clock was paused for just a minute, as the two players reached a deal rather quickly. Paren Arzoomanian suggested to both take £19,000, and play for the remainder (£5,170). Daniel Stacey was quick to agree. Without counting the chips or looking at deal models, the two agreed to the deal and just like that, play continued.
Paren Arzoomanian limped in from the button and Daniel Stacey in the big blind checked his option. The flop came and Stacey check called a bet of 40,000.

Stacey needed to fade a king to double up, and did just that with the on the river.
Michael Fletcher has bust in third place, a finish worth £10,170.
A raise to 80,000 by Fletcher was three-bet by Paren Arzoomanian, four-bet all-in by Fletcher and called by the runaway chip leader. Fletcher showed and Arzoomanian .
"I've been good at these so far," said Fletcher referring to being in a coinflip situation. It seems he spoke too soon because Arzoomanian flopped middle set and went on to improve to four-of-a-kind sixes when the five community cards fell .

Daniel Stacey opened the button to 80,000 and small blind Reynolds moved in for about 650,000. Fletcher folded from the big blind and Stacey made the call.
