Three-handed play looked poised to last a while as all three players had healthy stacks, but instead “Kroat.” Lost momentum quickly and was eliminated in short order.
“274AS” held a slight lead with 55% of the chips at the start of heads up play but “Fedor Kruse” would turn that around in his favor as he took a 55/45 lead himself after a few hands. But “274AS made a key call with a pocket pair of threes on a board with over cards when “Fedor Kruse” was bluffing with nothing. That substantial pot sent him into a nice lead; from which he would not look back finished the job after about twenty more minutes of play.
