Jake Cody raised his small blind and Teodor Caraba flatted in the big. They saw a flop and Cody bet out - and Caraba swiftly passed.
---
The next hand Cody raised again, this time from the button. Caraba seems to have attempted to reraise from the small blind but not put enough chips in; however it happened, it was deemed a call and they saw a flop.
The flop came down and Caraba bet out 500,000. Cody raised to 1.5 million. A hush descended. After a long, long pause, Caraba called. Onwards.
Both players checked the turn and then checked the river too. Caraba turned over aces, and Cody mucked.
A very tidy pot for Caraba puts him convincingly in the lead as we head to the break.

Craig Bergeron - 4th place money
Craig Bergeron, extremely shovey of late, decided to mix things up a bit and open-raise to one million - around eight big blinds. Jake Cody reraised all in to cover, Bergeron called all in for his last 585,000, and they were on their bags.
Bergeron:

Board:
It was all over by the turn for Mr. Bergeron, and to a round of heartfelt applause from the rail, he took his leave.

Shortest of the stacks Craig Bergeron moved all in under the gun and big blind Teodor Caraba looked like he was tempted - but thought better of it in the end, and Bergeron just got the blinds and antes.
A hand or two later and he did it again, but once more, got just the blinds for his trouble.

Mike McDonald raised to 290,000 in the small blind, and Jake Cody came right along from the big. On the flop of , McDonald followed up his raise with another 300,000 chips. Cody made the quick call, and fourth street brought the .
McDonald wasn't backing down, and he immediately started counting out another bet. He made it 700,000 to go, and Cody one again made the call, though a bit more slowly this time.
The river was the , and Timex kept the heat on. He pulled together several towers of redbirds and slid out a total of 1.5 million chips. This time it was too much for Cody, and he eventually released his cards into the muck.

Craig Bergeron was left with 425,000 after doubling Jake Cody, and he slid those chips over the line the very next hand. Mike McDonald looked him up, and Cody and Caraba got out of the way.

Bergeron -
Flop: - gives Bergeron top pair and McDonald a gutshot
Turn: - entirely uninteresting turn card, Bergeron must avoid a king or queen
River:
Bergeron safely doubles to just over 1 million. McDonald is now third in chips after Caraba and Cody, but all three are between 6.5 and 8 million.

Craig Bergeron limped into the pot from the button for the first time we can remember. In the big blind, Jake Cody made the call, and the two men watched the flop come down . And that's where things went ballistic. After a check from Cody, Bergeron bet 120,000. That drew a raise to 330,000, and "HU4ROLLZ" clicked it right back to 660,000. Not to be outdone, Cody clicked it back again with a four-bet to 990,000 total. Bergeron didn't waste much time announcing an all in, and and Cody called with a quickness.
Showdown
Bergeron:
Cody:
Bergeron had walked into trouble with just the lowly second pair, and he would need some help to avoid a crippling blow. The turn gave him three outs to the chop almost by default, but the on the end was a very dry card indeed.
Cody's two pair holds up, and he's worked his stack all the way back to about 7 million now.
Bergeron couldn't get out of his own way, and now he's been knocked all the way back to 425,000.

It was just the blinds left in the pot when Jake Cody raised to 275,000. Teodor Caraba debated for a moment before flatting.
Flop: - Cody bet out 290k, and Caraba called.
Turn: - check/check
River: - check/check
Cody showed queen-high, and Caraba scooped the 1.2 million chip pot with pocket 8s. With that hand, Caraba retook the chip lead. He's up to 7.97 million, just ahead of Mike McDonald's 7.45.

Martin Kabrhel
We interrupt this broadcast for a breaking news update.
Antony Lellouche and Martin Kabrhel were heads up for a few hours over on the far side of the room, playing for a first prize of €250,000 and the High Roller trophy. Lellouche began heads-up play with a commanding chip lead, but Khabrel hung in there long enough to turn the tides, eventually drawing the two stacks even. Soon thereafter, he was the one who began to take control of the match, and it wasn't long before he finished off the French pro. The final hand saw Lellouche get it in with , and Kabrhel's held up to give him all of the chips in play.
Martin Kabrhel has been running hot in side events on the EPT, and now he has won the High Roller event here in Deauville!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
