A short-stacked Talal Shakerchi moved all in for his last 33,000 from middle position and David Peters, who was seated to his direct left, made the call. When action reached Mike "Timex" McDonald in the small blind, he announced an all-in three-bet to 231,000. Peters made the call and discovered the bad news.
McDonald: 
Peters: 
Shakerchi: 
McDonald woke up with the granddaddy of all hands at just the right time, and he reaped the rewards as the board ran out a safe 
. McDonald more than doubled on the hand, Peters took a huge hit, and Shakerchi found himself on the rail.

Team Online's Isaac Haxton opened for 18,000 from early position only to have Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 90,000 from the small blind. Haxton responded by four-betting all in for 516,000, and Gruissem thought for a few moments before calling off for 506,000 total.
Haxton: 
Gruissem: 
Like we've seen so many times today, it was a race situation. Gruissem needed to improve to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the 
flop left him emptyhanded. The 
turn did the same, and the river actually improved Haxton to a straight to give him the pot.
Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table.

After winning four titles in Malta last month, including a €25,000 Special High Roller, the remarkable Dzmitry Urbanovich is having a crack at the biggest buy in of them all. And, to the surprise of nobody, he’s doing rather well already. The PokerStars Blog reports.
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Koon shoved for 108,000 from early position. Action then folded to Dzmitry Urbanovich and the Polish superstar thought about it for a bit, with his cards a little bit obscured.
"Who has cards right now?" Koon asked the table, trying to decipher whose action it was.
"This guy," Schemion laughed, pointing to Urbanovich just as he tossed in a chip to call.
Everyone else folded, and Koon and Urbanovich opened their cards.
Urbanovich: 
Koon: 
The board ran out 
, and Koon, despite a little scare at the turn, doubled to well over 200,000.
