Earlier today Ivan Soshnikov was still in the Eureka Main Event as the bubble approached. However, he was also playing the Super High Roller which meant he had to hope for a different sort of run good as he went from stack to stack before leaving his chips to blind off in the Eureka event. Read all about it here.
Mike McDonald raised to 9,000 from the button and both Joseph Cheong and Martin Kabrhel in the blinds tossed in the extra chips. On the three-way flop of 
, the action was checked to McDonald and he bet 15,000. Only Kabrhel called and the 
on the turn was checked through.
The 
on the river saw a check of "Timex" and Kabrhel bet 80,000 to promot a fold from McDonald.

Paul Newey raised to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel in the cutoff-seat as well as Leonig Markin in the big blind. On the 
flop, Newey moved all in for 58,500 and was called by both Thorel and Markin. The 
on the turn was checked to the Frenchman and he moved all in for more than 300,000 chips, having had the Russian covered. Markin eventually mucked his cards and the following showdown took place:
Newey: 
Thorel: 
The Brit got it in ahead but was then behind on the turn, thus only an ace would save him from purchasing a second bullet. Sure enough the 
showed up on the river and Newey tripled up.

Canadian pro Mike Leah became a WSOP bracelet winner in 2014, he finished second in the Hard Rock Poker Open for over a million dollars and as of right now drawing live for the Player of the Year honours. We caught up with him on the last break of the day in the Super High Roller.
The action started with Isaac Haxton raising to 11,500 from the hijack. Ivan Soshnikov then bumped it up to 28,000 from the cut off as the action folded back around to Haxton. He went into the tank for several minutes before four-betting to 73,000. This forced Soshnikov into his own tank chamber where he stayed for several minutes before announcing all in for around 450,000 in chips. Haxton made the quick call with less chips and the cards were tabled.
Haxton: 
Soshnikov:
Soshnikov was behind but would improve as the board ran out 
to give him the better pair and the winning hand.
Just as the hand completed, a tournament director from the Eureka Main Event came over to the table and informed Soshnikov that he had just been eliminated from the other event in 144th place and that he could collect his prize money whenever he was ready.
