After 4 straight draws, Vassily Ivanchuck (cartoon pictured!) won his last round game against Ivan Cheparinov to take the M-Tel Masters tournament by 1.5 points. Topalov tried his best to beat Radjabov, but the game ended in a perpetual check. Aronian-Xiangzhi also ended in a draw by three-fold repetition.
