Fairhurst Extends Lead

Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chipleader Robert Fairhurst raised to 40,000 from early position and Bartlomiej Klebieko three-bet to 125,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Fairhurst who four-bet jammed.
Klebieko did not waste any time putting his 280,000 chips in the middle, creating a heads up showdown.
Bartlomiej Klebieko: Q?Q?
Robert Fairhurst: A?Q?
The 6?5?8? flop gave Fairhurst a flush draw, and it came in on the 9? turn. The K? river did not bring a straight flush on the board, and Klebieko was sent to an unlucky exit just before the money.
