Matthias Eibinger opened the button for 105,000 and small blind Andras Nemeth called. Big blind Pavel Plesuv, the short stack at the table, called as well.

Both blinds checked on {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Eibinger bet 100,000. Nemeth called, Plesuv folded.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn was checked through and the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Nemeth checked once more and Eibinger ran his clock down to 1 before betting 375,000. Nemeth called instantly.

Eibinger showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}, the pot went to Nemeth who tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for top set.

Nemeth Doubles Through Eibinger

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the third hand of the day, Pavel Plesuv opened under the gun for 125,000. The button folded but small blind Matthias Eibinger pushed all in to put the pressure on big blind Andras Nemeth and initial raiser Plesuv.

Nemeth looked at his stack, looked at Plesuv's stack, pondered some, and then announced to call all in. Plesuv moved out of the way right away.

Matthias Eibinger: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Andras Nemeth: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Nemeth doubled his 1,370,000 stack.

The 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague's €50,000 Super High Roller has just four players remaining from a field of 40 entries. The quartet is set to resume play at 12:30 local time (two hours from now.)

Austrian pro Matthias Eibinger would be the favorite with the bookies since he's the proud owner of 55 percent of the chips in play. With blinds set to resume at 25,000 and 50,000, his stack of 5,455,000 equalizes 109 big blinds.

The remaining 45 percent of the chips is in the hands of three experts of the game. Pavel Plesuv (1,600,000), Andras Nemeth (1,445,000), and Liang Xu (1,400,000) all have a wealth of experience and a similar sized stack.
