After Mikhail Tulchinskiy reraises pre flop and he drinks from a bottle of water. Either the man was just thirsty or this was a tell OR this was a decoy tell. Either way, Matthew Woodward bites, going ALL IN and the cards go on their backs.

Woodward: pocket 3’s
Tulchinskiy: Qx10x
Board: Jh2s8s4d2h

Pocket 3 is enough to win the hand as Woodward sends Tulchinskiy home in 3rd place.

Now it’s the heads up match up I wanted from the start of the day: De Korver and Woodward.

Big blind takes 107. Big Blind’s name is Matthew Woodward.

After forcing Tulchinskiy down past the river, Woodward takes a huge pot - AND THE CHIP LEAD! Wow, has this game changed!

Mikkelsen 13,430,000
Tulchinskiy 7,115,000
Woodward 5,195,000
De Korver 2,220,000

After raising and throwing in chips and while Matthew Woodward is deciding whether or not to call, Dag Mikkelsen reaches into his bet chips and changes out chips. Matt reads the call right and raise all in. Dag folds.

Dag is SO ahead that he is starting to play a little nutty?

Pieter De Korver goes all in against Woodward and Mikkelsen, wins the hand and triples through.

Matthew Woodward and Dag Mikkelsen bet us to the flop of 4s5c7c and Woodward checks and Dag bets 325k and Woodward raises All In. Dag really considers. He seems to argue with himself. It’s clear he has something. But Matthew is like a block of stone and unreadable. After a long time, Dag folds.
