The 100th hand of the final just happened and was uneventful as Dan Smith got a walk. With that said, it is already more than the 80 or so hands that happened at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final Super High Roller.
Level: 20
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 10,000
The two players have reached a deal. Dan Smith will take home €862,925, JC Alvarado will get €788,634, and the duo will play for €100,000 and the Shamballa Jewels bracelet.
Play has been halted by the two remaining players as they discuss the possibility of a deal.
Short-stacked Mike Watson raised to 160,000 from the button and inspired Dan Smith to fold the small blind. JC Alvarado hesitated for a moment in the big before moving all in, and Watson called off.
Showdown
Watson: 
Alvarado: 
Watson got it in good with ace high, but the 
spelled disaster as Alvarado paired his king. The 
turn left Watson in need of an ace on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the harmless rolled off.
