We happened upon the action with around 600,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Dmitry Yurasov fired out a healthy bet of 375,000 and Thomas Muhlocker looked him up. Yurasov tabled the 
for a flush, and it was good a Muhlocker mucked.

Dmitry Yurasov opened for 80,000 under the gun only to have Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet all in for 740,000 from the cutoff. The button folded, as did both blinds, and Yurasov asked for a count before making the call.
Yurasov: 
McDonald: 
McDonald got it in good, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, McDonald had a 54.45% chance of surviving the hand while Yurasov would come from behind 45.17% of the time. Unfortunately for McDonald, this was one of those times as the flop came down 
.
Yurasov paired his ace to become a massive 91.21% favorite, and McDonald was left in need of a six, which would come a mere 8.78% of the time. The 
turn was not it, and neither was the 
river. "Good game guys," McDonald said before taking his leave in fifth place for €115,400.
Ended up coming 5th in the HR for 115€. Ran super well all tourney and I don't think I've ever been this pleased with a non-win in my careerFollow @MikeMcDonald89

Seth:
Busquet: 
"Suited," Seth said of his cards. No sooner did the words leave his mouth then the dealer fanned out the 
flop. Seth picked up two clubs, and he actually made his flush when the appeared on the turn. Seth was primed to double right back in contention, but then the

Olivier Busquet opened for 60,000 from the hijack and Vanessa Selbst looked him up from the button. The blinds both folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Busquet wasted little time in betting 75,000, Selbst called, and the appeared on the turn. Busquet bet again, this time 100,000, and Selbst responded by moving all in for 265,000. Busquet snap-called and Selbst discovered the bad news.
Selbst: 
Busquet:
Selbst had flopped top pair, but she needed more help if she was going to crack Busquet's pocket rockets. The river didn't do it and Selbst, who began her incredible year with a win in the PCA High Roller, was eliminated in seventh place for €64,500.
"Good game," she said before making her way to the payout desk.
