"Ma" shoved under the gun for 6,600,000 and Mehmet Deniz snap-called from the big blind.
"Ma": Q♦J♠ 
Mehmet Deniz: A♥A♣
"Ma" was in trouble, but found some hope on the 9♣4♦10♥ flop as he picked up an open-ended straight draw. There was some 'instant service' on the turn as the 8♦ gave "Ma" an unbeatable straight. A meaningless K♥ filled out the board, and Deniz became the new short stack.

Richard Broda raised the button and Mehmet Deniz defended his big blind.
Deniz called a bet of 1,100,000 on the 7♣A♠4♣ flop from Broda to see the 9♣ fall on the turn, which checked through.
A 4♠ paired the board on the river and Deniz led out for 4,500,000. Broda mulled it over for a while and eventually made the call.
Deniz then showed six-high with 6♣3♥, and Broda flipped Q♠J♣ for queen-high to take the pot.
What a hero.

Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
"Ma" limped in from the small blind and Richard Broda checked his option in the big blind to see a flop of 9♠5♣7♦. "Ma" bet 600,000, Broda raised to 2,200,000 and "Ma" called.
Both checked the 10♦ turn and when the 3♣ hit the river, "Ma" shoved. Broda had 5,400,000 behind and was in the tank for some time while he thought out loud.
"This could be it. My final hand, maybe," Broda said to "Ma". "I feel like I have to call," he added.
"What do you have?" asked "Ma".
"A nine, it's obvious, isn't it?" replied Broda.
"Sometimes you call and win, sometimes you call and lose," explained "Ma".
Eventually, Broda did call. "Ma" then tapped the table and showed a bluff with 8♣4♥, and Broda flipped 9♥6♥ for a pair of nines to scoop the pot.

Nicolas Chouity has taken down a few small pots and extended his chip lead, and now has almost half the chips in play.
In the latest hand, "Ma" made it 1,200,000 from under the gun and Mehmet Deniz called from the big blind.
The flop came 2♣4♦A♦ and Deniz check-called a bet of 700,000 before he tapped the table again when the 6♦ hit the turn. "Ma" bet 2,000,000, and was met with a raise of 6,500,000 from Deniz. "Ma" snap-folded.

Level 36
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Richard Broda made it 1,000,000 to go from under the gun and "Ma" called in the big blind.
They went to a flop of 9♦4♥6♥ where "Ma" led out for 700,000, which Broda called to the 7♥ turn. "Ma" fired again, this time for 3,300,000, and Broda went nowhere.
When the 10♠ hit the river, "Ma" took a peek at the stack of Broda, who had around 10,000,000 behind, then bet 6,000,000. Broda took a little time and eventually folded,
"Ma" then slammed down Q♦5♣ for a bluff as he raked in the pot.
