We've hit the end of Level 19, and the players have been sent off for their 75-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 9:00 PM here locally... 3:00 PM on the East Coast... Midnight in Dubai... 5 AM Tokyo time.

We'll see you then.

McDonald Doubles For Dinner

We just walked by Mike McDonald to see him hovering around 350,000 still, but we were just in time for the fireworks.

Petr Jaros opened the pot with a raise to 18,000, and McDonald three-bet to 46,000 from the big blind. Jaros made the call, and off they went. The dealer spread out {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and McDonald continued out with another 56,000. Jaros called again, and the {8-Diamonds} landed on fourth street. McDonald grabbed betting chips again and made it 88,000 to go, but this time Jaros raised all in with his big stack. McDonald had 212,000 chips left behind, and he pondered for only a few seconds before making the call.

Showdown
Jaros: {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts}
McDonald: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

McDonald's rockets were well ahead, but he needed to fade the nine hearts in the deck to notch the big double.

River: {9-Spades}

With a mix of relief and joy, McDonald raked in the big pot to move all the way up to about 810,000.

Renkers Busts Serock

Joe Serock
Joe Serock

It's been pretty much the Patrick Renkers show for the past 10 minutes and he was right back at it in this one as he sent off Joe Serock.

Action folded to Renkers in the small blind and he raised all in. Serock, who had less than 10 big blinds in his stack, called all in with pocket sixes. Renkers held the {Q-Hearts}{4-}.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to give Renkers a pair and a flush draw. The turn blanked, but the river was a fourth heart and Renkers made a flush. Serock was eliminated while Renkers gathered event more biscuits.

Welcome to the Millionaries Club, Mr. Renkers

Patrick Renkers hadn't even finished stacking his chips from the last hand against Dany Richa, when Dennis Bejedal raised under the gun to 16,000 and play moved to him. Renkers paused, gathered himself and then three-bet to 38,000. Play folded over to Torsten Otte in the big blind and he had just doubled through Joe Serock a couple hands prior. Otte took his time and then slid out a four-bet to 83,000 with some very shaky hands.

Bejedal quickly ducked out of the way, but Renkers went into the tank. Otte had approximately 340,000 behinds and Renkers had 566,000 back. After a minute or two of thought, Renkers looked at the dealer and declared that he was all in. Otte snapped to put his tournament life on the line.

Renkers: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Otte: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and kept Renkers' aces in front. The {Q-Diamonds} was a safe card on the turn before the {A-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Renkers made a seat of aces and busted Otte on the hand en route to climbing over one million in chips.

Flush Over Flush In Favor of Renkers

Patrick Renkers from The Netherlands called a raise from the cutoff seat after Dennis Bejedal opened to 16,000. Dany Richa also called out of the big blind and the flop came down {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. All three players checked through and the turn paired the board with the {J-Diamonds}. After Richa and Bejedal checked, Renkers fired 24,000. Richa called, but Bejedal folded.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Richa checked. Renkers kept his foot on the gas and fired 38,000. Richa studied and then check-raised to 100,000 flat with 62,000 behind. Renkers tanked and then announced a call.

Richa tabled the {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but Renkers had him notched with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and won the pot.

Otte Finds a Double Through Serock

When we arrived at the table, Torsten Otte had raised to 19,000 and Joe Serock reraised to 50,000. Otte reraised all in for 205,000 and Serock made the call.

Otte: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Serock: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The flop, turn and river ran out {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The ace on the flop gave Otte what he needed to win the hand and Serock sent over the chips.

Adios, Adeniya

Martins Adeniya (on Day 2) - out
Martins Adeniya (on Day 2) - out

Martins Adeniya has just been eliminated in a two-hand tumble.

On the first, Adeniya was the preflop raiser, and Haykel Cherif Vidal shoved on him for 99,000. Adeniya called with the {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, and Vidal seemed content to be flipping as he rolled over {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. He'd be even more content with the board: {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. Jacks up give Vidal the double-up, and Adeniya was left with just 20,000.

He got that remainder all into the next pot with {7-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, and Sergey Baburin's {A-Spades} {3-Clubs} held fast on the {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} board.

That's the end of the day for Adeniya, relegated to the rail with about 50 players left.

Moorman Movin' On Up

In early position, Konstantin Tolokno opened to 18,000, and Chris Moorman three-bet to 40,000 straight. Tolokno made the call, and off they went.

The dealer spread out {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, and Moorman continued out with another 39,000. Tolokno check-raised all in for right around 225,000, though, and the Brit made the call with a chance at another knockout. It was a cooler.

Showdown
Tolokno: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Moorman: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Tolokno was dead to the case ten, and the turn {2-Spades} and river {A-Spades} failed to provide the tournament-saving miracle.

Jaros Pips a Million

Under the gun, Petr Jaros opened to 18,000, and he called a three-bet of 42,000 from Ty Mullins. Heads up, they took a {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} flop, and Jaros knocked the table. Mullins bet 60,000 of his 190,000-chip stack, and Jaros quickly check-raised all in.

Mullins was gutted, and he gazed down longingly at the small remainder of chips in front of him. He was hating life, but he went ahead and dropped the last of his stack into the pot, holding his {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} out in front of him like a smelly pair of shoes.

Jaros rolled over the crushing {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and his ace held up on the {3-Spades} turn and {J-Hearts} river.
