The board ran to eliminate the Brit and leave us heads up for the title.
Andy 'BKiCe' Seth -- 3,590,000
Michael Greco -- 1,250,000
Seth --
McCaffrey --
McCaffery was in great shape until the board ran to give Seth a flush and destroy the hopes of his opponent and his vocal railers.
Glenn McCaffrey managed to get 870,000 of his chips in preflop with just 150,000 behind. It looked as though he raised his button and Andy Seth reraised from the big blind, and this is the point at which the McCaffrey 870,000 made its way into the middle. Seth quickly called and flipped over -- he clearly thought that McCaffrey was all in.
Nevertheless McCaffrey was not all in, and a flop was dealt. Seth promptly bet out 200,000. "Well," said McCaffrey, "I'm behind..." A fold! Extraordinary.
On the next hand, McCaffrey shipped it in under the gun and both Greco and Vilandos called. They checked down the board, but neither of them could beat McCaffrey's for a flush. Triple up for the short stack! The rail goes wild and no wonder -- this is all terribly exciting.
A long tank from McCaffery followed, but he let it go and showed the . Vilandos made him feel better about it by opening for two-pair.
Both players checked the flop and Vilandos check-called 200,000 from Seth on the turn. Vilandos checked again on the river and this time Seth bet 375,000. Vilandos called -- and Seth instantly folded his hand, leaving the pot for Vilandos.
The turn saw Seth take the lead with a bet that Greco called. The river saw Seth bet 245,000 before Greco moved all in for 945,000. A very long tank occurred and Greco spent the whole time out of his chair pacing or staring down his opponent. Seth then let it go.
This prompted Jesper Hougaard to start up his "ooba ooba ooba" song. Just the one verse this time though from the Dane to make sure he isn't ejected again!
