He earned a quick fold from Tahkokallio, but Inizan put him to the test, quickly four-betting to 1.7 million. Just as fast MacPhee upped the pressure even more, sliding out 6 million chips. Insta-muck from the pwned Inizan. The huge preflop pot put MacPhee back up to 12.7 million and dropped Inizan to 7 million.

The river completed the board with the {7-Diamonds} and Tahkokallio fired 600,000. MacPhee got out chips to call, but then folded his hand and Tahkokallio won the pot.

MacPhee has lost a few pots in a row now and slipped back to about 12 million chips. He's still leading, but fresh of his double up, Marc Inizan is getting closer and closer the more that MacPhee loses.
