"AnyExtras" shoved a covering stack, and "holy h3ll" called it off.

"holy h3ll": Q♠Q♣
"AnyExtras": A♠Q♥

"Deiv4za" check-called for 383k on the 7♠Q♥K♦ flop and again for 1.5m on the 4♣ turn. Both players checked the 5♦ turn and the flopped set of sevens for "Deiv4za" took it down.

Mike "SirWatts" Watson: 10♣10♦

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

They are down to 21 remaining now and Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas has a massive stack of more than 17 million now. He got a chunk of those by sending Vlad "dariepoker" Darie to the rail. Bujtas raised the button preflop, and Darie called from the small blind, and check-called for 360k on the 9♣4♦5♥ flop.

Darie check-shoved the K♦ turn after a bet of 720k and got called.

Vlad "dariepoker" Darie: J♦10♦
Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas: A♦9♦

They were both drawing to diamonds, but Bujtas was best there. However, Darie was also looking for a non-diamond Broadway gutshot. The K♥ bricked it all and the pair of nines for Bujtas sent Darie to the rail. "Red4erT" and Arsenii "josef_shvejk" Karmatckii also busted to bring it to 21.

Level 28 : Blinds 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson is having a decent run of things lately. He won his second EPT title at the beginning of May, and today, he's deep in two tournaments here on PokerStars with more than $1.3 million in winning prizes at stake between them.

He has a top-ten stack here in the High Main, but he's also second in chips three-ways in the $25k Super High Roller with $1.03m in total prizes and $362k up top. The PokerStars Stream is now showing that game, and updates here will pause for the delay when that game finishes.

At the first break of the day just 31 players remain after the elimination of Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer right before the break. O'Dwyer raised to 150k from the cutoff, then four-bet shoved after "WelcomelNnferNO" three-bet the button to 380k.

The call was made and O'Dwyer was dominated with king-queen into ace-king. No miracle came and he hit the rail in 32nd place just before the break.
