Attention! The Fifth and Final Flight of the GGSF Super MILLION$ ME-H: $10,300, $10M GTD Is About To Begin
Weekly online poker series with solid guarantees are a dime a dozen these days. But in the past year, none of the recurring series have made as much of an impact as GGPoker's Super MILLION$ Series. With 44 events already done and dusted, this $10K has become the weekly must-play event for every high roller out there.
For the GG Spring Festival, GGPoker has raised the stakes and slapped a whopping $10,000,000 guarantee on their flagship event. To reach this lofty target, five starting days will be played with four of them already checked off the list during the past seven days.
This final flight will give players 100,000 chips to work with and features blind levels of 10 minutes. 22 of those levels will be played until chips are very briefly bagged. Late registration is open until level 17, so those looking to still get a shot at the eight-figure prize pool need to be there in time to partake in the event.
Later tonight, at 8 p.m. GMT, survivors from all starting flights will resume their quest to win the biggest slice of the $10M and become an online millionaire in the process. Players are allowed to play as many Day 1's as they desire, but only the largest stack for Day 2 will be carried forward. The winner will be crowned on Tuesday after a day off in between Day 2 and the final table.

Level 4: 500/1,000/125

and Davies continued for 4,550, which got called.
On the 
turn, Davies took his time before virtually cutting out 12,960. De Hollanda once again made the call to see the 
river appear. Davies checked to De Hollanda, who bet 25,590.
The Canadian pro wasn't done with the hand just yet, as he check-raised all in for 113,054. De Hollande waved the white flag in response.

Godin First One Out
Level 4: 500/1,000/125

on a 
board but got it in against Diego "TheProjector" Ventura's 
.
Down to a little over 30 big blinds, Godin then four-bet shoved preflop holding 
. Andrii Derzhypilskyi looked her up with 
and held up to eliminate the Canadian in the fourth level of the day.
