First to act, Mike McDonald raised to 220,000. Jake Cody moved all for 1.84 million. And then Craig Bergeron reshoved for almost 3.8 million. Back to McDonald, snap-fold. No, wait. Not so fast. McDonald thought for at least a minute while they rail had a heart attack, but he eventually mucked his hand. Time for high stakes coin flipping.
Bergeron:
Cody: - at risk
Board:
Cody's fans let out a sigh of relief, and their hooded boy is still in the game. He's back to 4 million, more than enough to do some damage. Bergeron is down to just under 2 million.

Under the gun, Jake Cody opened to 260,000. Small blind Craig Bergeron moved his stack in, committing all 1.925 million of his remaining chips to the pot. When the big blind folded, Cody instantly called with a chance at the knockout. Let's flip a coin, shall we?
Cody:
Bergeron:
The flop was a relative miss for Bergeron, but he did pick up four more outs as it came . The that spiked fourth street was most certainly one of his out cards, improving him to a pair of aces and needing to fade just two outs to stay alive. When the completed the board, Bergeron secured his double up, essentially trading stacks with Cody.

Martin Kabrhel
We interrupt this broadcast for a breaking news update.
Antony Lellouche and Martin Kabrhel were heads up for a few hours over on the far side of the room, playing for a first prize of €250,000 and the High Roller trophy. Lellouche began heads-up play with a commanding chip lead, but Khabrel hung in there long enough to turn the tides, eventually drawing the two stacks even. Soon thereafter, he was the one who began to take control of the match, and it wasn't long before he finished off the French pro. The final hand saw Lellouche get it in with , and Kabrhel's held up to give him all of the chips in play.
Martin Kabrhel has been running hot in side events on the EPT, and now he has won the High Roller event here in Deauville!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

It was just the blinds left in the pot when Jake Cody raised to 275,000. Teodor Caraba debated for a moment before flatting.
Flop: - Cody bet out 290k, and Caraba called.
Turn: - check/check
River: - check/check
Cody showed queen-high, and Caraba scooped the 1.2 million chip pot with pocket 8s. With that hand, Caraba retook the chip lead. He's up to 7.97 million, just ahead of Mike McDonald's 7.45.

Craig Bergeron limped into the pot from the button for the first time we can remember. In the big blind, Jake Cody made the call, and the two men watched the flop come down . And that's where things went ballistic. After a check from Cody, Bergeron bet 120,000. That drew a raise to 330,000, and "HU4ROLLZ" clicked it right back to 660,000. Not to be outdone, Cody clicked it back again with a four-bet to 990,000 total. Bergeron didn't waste much time announcing an all in, and and Cody called with a quickness.
Showdown
Bergeron:
Cody:
Bergeron had walked into trouble with just the lowly second pair, and he would need some help to avoid a crippling blow. The turn gave him three outs to the chop almost by default, but the on the end was a very dry card indeed.
Cody's two pair holds up, and he's worked his stack all the way back to about 7 million now.
Bergeron couldn't get out of his own way, and now he's been knocked all the way back to 425,000.
[user140525]
Craig Bergeron was left with 425,000 after doubling Jake Cody, and he slid those chips over the line the very next hand. Mike McDonald looked him up, and Cody and Caraba got out of the way.
McDonald -
Bergeron -
Flop: - gives Bergeron top pair and McDonald a gutshot
Turn: - entirely uninteresting turn card, Bergeron must avoid a king or queen
River:
Bergeron safely doubles to just over 1 million. McDonald is now third in chips after Caraba and Cody, but all three are between 6.5 and 8 million.
