With both Daniel "Rekrul" Schreiber and Hevad "RaiNKhAN" Khan going into the final day, chances of another Liquidpoker-success were pretty high. With only 19 players left, Hevad (with 4.92 million) and Daniel (with 3.465 mln) were the top 2 chipstacks! Unfortunately for both, they were placed on the same table with Rekrul having position on Hevad. The table gets to see a lot of action from both players, get ready for some double-ups, suckouts, bustouts and and coinflips!
Within 15 minutes of play, Rekrul loses a big pot to Sabyl Cohen. Rekrul holding [As][Ks] sees Cohen flopping a boat with [8c][8s] and he's left with 1.5 million chips. Fortunately he manages to suck out on the same player not much later, with AK against KK because of the [Ad] on the turn. Back to 2.8mln. More Liquidpoker-action for Cohen not much later, when she's all-in with JTs, Hevad Khan holds a firm lead with [Ad][Kh]. Both hit their bottom pair and Cohen is out.
Hevad continues to stay aggressive and is involved in a lot of all-in situations, first doubling up Adam Junglen (KQ vs KJ), then knocking out Brent Roberts (55 holds against A6) and Jamie Rosen (AJs vs JT). Rekrul on the other hand is rather unfortunate when he doubles up Michael Kamran, who holds A7o against Rekrul's A8o when the 7 comes on the flop. Khan gets some setback as well, when Michael Katz doubles up with JJ vs KK. When Mike Sexton calls all-in on a [3c][3h][2d] flop with [Kh][2h] he's ahead against Rekrul's [Ac][Qc], but a queen comes on the river and Sexton is out in 11th place, and we're down to our final table.
Final table starts with the following seating and chipcounts:
![[image loading]](http://www.tlpoker.be/staff/Pindarots/Oktober08/rekrul.JPG)
When Schreiber pushes all-in with [Ks][4s] against the preflop raise of Adam Junglen, he gets called with [Ah][Kc]. No help on the board and Junglen doubles up. Hevad Khan later has a similar situation, when he pushes all-in against Gary Friedlander's reraise preflop, he's way behind with KJs against pocket kings. Friedlander doubles up, Khan is down to 7 mln. Unfortunately, no first and second place for Liquidpoker this time, when Rekrul pushes all-in for 1.3 million, John Hennigan calls him with [Ah][Qh]. Rekrul holding [9c][7h] sees a pretty nice flop: [Td][8h][3c] and with the turn [6h] he makes the straight, but another heart on the river means he loses to Hennigan's flush and finishes 8th, for $88,691.
Meanwhile Khan is still in the action against Michael Kamran, who manages to suck out again, this time hitting a full house with [9h][8h]! Khan's [Ad][Kh] were no good and he's down to 5.6 million. While Khan tries his best, Kamran continues to run well against Liquidpoker-players. He later doubles up again through Khan, with AQ vs AJs and Hevad is down to 2 million! After some setbacks, Hevad manages to fight back and get his chipstack back up to regain his chiplead at the final table. Two three-way all-ins follow: Hennigan gets knocked out with A9o vs AKs vs TT and Junglen with A8 vs AK vs AK (Kamran and Khan chop the pot). While Khan knocks out Joseph Cordi with KK vs AQ, Kamran beats Jonathan Aguiar with AA vs AT and when Khan knocks out Gary Friedlander in 3rd place (JJ vs 99), we're heads-up, with Hevad boasting a small chiplead!
A few big pots go to Kamran without showdown and Hevad is down 1:2 but when both players got all-in, Hevad is ahead with his pocket jacks against ATo of Kamran. Khan hits a straight on the river, but his pair of jacks was good to regain the chiplead and end up two-to-one this time. A few big pots once again and after about 3 hours of heads-up play, we get to our final hand! When Hevad raises to 800k from the button, Kamran makes the call. With a flop of [Jd][9s][2c] Kamran checks and Hevad bets 900k. Kamran moves all-in and after some thought, Hevad makes the call with [Jc][6h], ahead of Kamran's [Kd][Th]. No help on turn and river and the crowd goes wild, because Hevad "RaiNKhAN" Khan wins the Caesars Palace Classic and $1,000,000!
Congratulations both on these awesome performances
