Four-Bet

Kevin MacPhee raised to 350,00, and Ilari Tahkokallio reraised to 890,000. Not about to let Tahkokallio steal his move, MacPhee four-bet to 2.04 million. That was sufficient aggression to push Tahkokallio out of the pot, and even more chips get shipped in Kevin's directions.

Big Pot Goes to Tahkokallio

Ilari Tahkokallio had the button and raised to 380,000. Kevin MacPhee called in the big blind. The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and MacPhee checked. Tahkokallio fired 425,000 and then MacPhee jacked up the price of poker to 1.175 million. Tahkokallio made the call, bringing the pot to over three million.

The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and MacPhee checked. Tahkokallio studied for a minute and then fired 1.5 million. MacPhee mucked and Tahkokallio pulled in the pot.

Floppin' Around

Kevin MacPhee raised to 350,000, and Ilari Tahkokallio called. {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} on the flop, and Kevin bet out 380,000. That was enough to take the pot.

These two are seeing a lot of flops. Both are skilled players not afraid to play post-flop, and they're pretty deep for a heads up match. MacPhee has 128 big blinds and Tahkokallio still has room to maneuver with 51.

Tahkokallio raised it up preflop and MacPhee made the call. They saw the traditional flop.

Flop: {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts}

MacPhee check-called a bet from Tahkokallio, and they proceeded.

Turn: {4-Clubs}

This time both players checked, and they got to see a river for free.

River: {A-Diamonds}

Now MacPhee bet out. Tahkokallio decided that he was beaten, and made the fold.

With that, MacPhee is up to over 20 million.

MacPhee Doesn't Have to Show

From the button, Kevin MacPhee raised to 260,000 and Ilari Tahkokallio called. The flop cam down {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Tahkokallio checked. MacPhee fired 320,000 and Tahkokallio called.

The turn went check, check after the {5-Clubs} fell. The {10-Spades} completed the board on the river and Tahkokallio fired 410,000. After some pause, MacPhee called. Tahkokallio mucked his hand without showing and MacPhee raked in the pot without having to show his hand.

Kabrhel doesn't have to stretch around a big stack anymore.

It seems as though Martin Kabrhel has shipped the chip lead to Andreas Bauer in the High Roller - Bauer flopped a flush and got it in against Kabrhel who'd flopped two pair. No full house on the turn or river, and Kabrhel is down to 80,000. Bauer meanwhile doubles up to 380,000.

Seat 1: Martin Kabrhel - 80,000
Seat 2: Jeff Sarwer - 83,200
Seat 4: Dominykas Karmazinas - 125,000
Seat 5: Bijan Zahmat - 65,000
Seat 6: [Removed:39] - 100,000
