Smiljkovic Cannot Bluff Eibinger

Level 22 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic opened the action with a raise to 140,000 in the cutoff and chip leader Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger three-bet to 717,500 in the big blind. That prompted a call from Smiljkovic and the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop brought a bet of 574,000 by Eibinger, which Smiljkovic called.

There was no betting action on the {3-Diamonds} turn and heading to the {8-Hearts} river with 2,670,500 in the middle, Eibinger checked and Smiljkovic bet half the pot to send his opponent deep into the think tank.

Eibinger nearly depleted his available time bank and then called with the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, which was good as Smiljkovic had bluffed the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Watson on a Heater

Level 22 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante
Watson doubles through Eibinger
Watson doubles through Eibinger

Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger pulled further ahead at the top of the leaderboard and up next it was Mike "SirWatts" Watson that min-raised to 140,000. Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski called in the big blind and check-raised the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop from 70,000 to 210,000, which Watson called.

Badziakouski bet the {4-Spades} turn for 189,000 to earn a call and both checked the {5-Diamonds} on the river. The Belorussian tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Watson chopped with the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Badziakouski won the next hand preflop before Watson dragged in a pot. And the Canadian made it two in a row when he also raked in the chips with {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} on a board of {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The comeback of the Canadian then added another chapter when his button min-raise triggered the three-bet jam of Eibinger in the big blind and Watson snap-called.

Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Eibinger's open-ended straight draw on the {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop was promising but the {5-Clubs} turn and {8-Spades} river let Watson double once more to get right back into it.

Watson Scores Another Double

Level 22 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

In the first hand after the break, Mike "SirWatts" Watson three-bet jammed in the cutoff and was quickly called by the initial raiser Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic in the hijack.

Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

One diamond on the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was a start and Watson found more equity on the {8-Diamonds} turn with a flush and straight draw. However, it was the {k-Hearts} on the river instead that kept the Canadian in contention.

Russia's "hello_totti" made it 145,600 to go in the last hand before a scheduled break and met resistance as Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph in the small blind three-bet to 560,000. The four-bet shove by "hello_totti" for nearly 2.5 million followed and Rudolph called.

"hello_totti": {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

They were off to the races and "hello_totti" prevailed on a board of {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Bert Stevens
Bert Stevens

From under the gun, "hello_totti" raised to 140,000 and Bert "girafganger7" Stevens three-bet jammed the button for 1,127,802 total. Chip leader Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger three-bet jammed his stack of more than 8.1 million and "hello_totti" folded the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} face-up.

Bert "girafganger7" Stevens: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

The coldest of decks provided no help to Stevens on a board of {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and that spelled his exit in 7th place for $51,445.

Three Double Ups for Watson

Level 22 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

The comeback of Mike "SirWatts" Watson started with a near triple up when {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} held against the {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} of Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger in the big blind as the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} board brought no upset.

Watson then doubled with {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} against the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades} of Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic on a {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} board before he forfeited a small portion of his stack.

However, Watson scored a third double up when {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} held in a battle of the blinds against Bert "girafganger7" Stevens, who had the {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in the big blind. The {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board gave Watson top set.

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams Eliminated in 8th Place ($39,498)

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

One hand after his double up, Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams was involved in the action again and saw an open raise to 120,000 by Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph and the cold call of Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic in the cutoff. Adams moved in for more than 1.94 million from the small blind and Rudolph folded. Smiljkovic gave it some consideration and made the call.

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Adams hit nothing much on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop but the {10-Spades} turn was a huge sweat with a gutshot and flush draw. However, the {8-Diamonds} river bricked and Adams went from hero to zero in two hands, taking home $39,498.

In a battle of the blinds, the two short stacks from Canada clashed and it was Mike "SirWatts" Watson with the slightly superior stack when facing off against Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams.

Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Watson took the lead on the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop but Adams picked up a lot of equity on the {3-Clubs} turn. The {j-Spades} fell on the river and Watson was left with just over one big blind.

Stevens Jams Into Watson

Level 21 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

It all kicked off with a button min-raise to 120,000 by Mike "SirWatts" Watson and Bert "girafganger7" Stevens defended his big blind. The {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop was checked and Stevens bet the {6-Hearts} turn for 108,900, which Watson as the shorter stack of the duo called with 650,671 behind.

Stevens wasted little time to jam the {a-Clubs} river and Watson folded as quickly.

Shortly after, Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic four-bet to 900,000 against Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph, who three-bet the button to 390,000 and sent his cards into the muck.
