The moment where play is approaching the money is possibly the perfect time to double back into serious contention in an EPT and Mike McDonald has done exactly that. He told us about the hand while watching the unfolding action in the next deal.

"I raised to 4500 from the hijack position, and the big blind re-raised to 17,000. I shipped for 41,000 with queens and he called with threes. Queens held."

A satisfied smile replaces the trademark icy stare for a fleeting moment before McDonald is back to watching the action around him like a hawk.

Janne "Savjz" Mikkonen Eliminated by Adam Owen

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Janne Mikkonen
Janne Mikkonen

Adam Owen raised to 6,500 from middle position. The player in the cutoff called, as did professional Hearthstone player Janne "Savjz" Mikkonen on the button. The blinds both folded.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Owen bet 9,000. The cutoff folded, but Mikkonen called. The turn was the {k-Clubs} and Owen thought before announcing all in. Mikkonen called instantly and tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush.

Owen winced, and turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for two-pair, but with a flush draw that would eliminate his opponent if it hit.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and the table let out a murmur as Mikkonen got to his feet.

"Fish!" said tablemate Danny Tang, and Owen smiled in return.

"When he called instantly, I was thinking 'Please don't have a house!'" said Owen has he raked in his chips. He is now at around 200,000 in chips

Miguel Turning The Tide

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ognyan Dimov and Ramon Miguel Munoz have been locked in some really aggressive battles over the course of the day. Just moments ago, the two tangled again. This time, the Spaniard was finally able to put a dent in Ognyan's stack.

Miguel raised to 7,800 from middle position and Dimov three-bet the button to 25,000. Miguel called and both players checked the {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. Miguel check-called a 26,000 bet from Dimov on the {3-Diamonds} turn and a 60,000 bet on the {9-Spades} river.

Dimov showed {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for seven-high, leaving Miguel to scoop up the pot with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

From early position, Romain Morin was all in and at risk holding the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Paul van Oort looked him up with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The flop of {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} gave van Oort the lead, and the {J-Spades} turn and {5-Clubs} river sent him to the rail.
