Strassmann is Right

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We picked up the action on the turn when the board read {6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Steve O'Dwyer moved all in from the cutoff for 555,000 effectively and Johannes Strassmann went into the tank for a long time.

Eventually the German made the call and showed {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

"Good call," O'Dwyer said as he flipped up {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The river brought the {Q-Clubs} and O'Dwyer lost a large portion of his stack.

Negreanu Wins Race to Extend His Time in the Tournament

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A short-stacked Daniel Negreanu, the last Team PokerStars Pro standing in the tournament, opened for 35,000 from middle position and then called off for 252,000 when Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet all in from the big blind.

Negreanu: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
McDonald: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

"I'll get it ready," McDonald said unconfidently. Sure enough, McDonald shipped it over after the board ran out {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Spades} and Negreanu made two pair.

It's The McDonald Show

Level 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Mike McDonald
Mike McDonald

Ole Schemion raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and he was three-bet to 95,000 by Mike McDonald from the button. Both blinds folded and the action was back on Schemion who four-bet to 190,000.

McDonald tanked for a bit before five-betting to 290,000 and Schemion tossed in the call.

The flop brought {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Schemion check-folded to McDonald's shove.

On the very next hand McDonald raised from the cutoff to 35,000 and Timothy Adams three-bet to 85,000. Again both blinds folded and this time it was McDonald who four-bet making it 180,000. Adams tanked for a bit and five-bet to 290,000 but folded when McDonald moved all in.

McDonald is in control at the secondary feature table with just 15 players remaining.
