Roger Teska doubled up through Paul Tedeschi in a sick cooler spot with both players holding premium pocket pairs preflop. Teska was able to pull out the win, leaving Tedeschi on crumbs.

With the action folded to Tedeschi in the small blind, he moved all in with {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Steve O'Dwyer called in the big with {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}, holding two live cards. The flop of {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} favored O'Dwyer with a pair of sevens. The turn was the {10-Spades} and the river brought the {3-Diamonds} to send Tedeschi home in fourth place.

The remaining three players are all guaranteed to take home at least $1,000,000 but there is still plenty to play for. Teska has moved into second place and narrowed the gap on O'Dwyer, making it anyone's game from here.

Although Steve O'Dwyer lost a sizeable pot to Charles La Boissonniere in the first hand back from the dinner break, he has since regained his composure. It also helps to hit a few rivers now and again.

In a battle of the blinds, Paul Tedeschi limped in from the small blind with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Steve O'Dwyer checked his option with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The flop fell {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Tedeschi led out for 3 million which O'Dwyer called.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and both players checked to the {6-Clubs} on the river. Tedeschi checked again and O'Dwyer reached back for an overbet of 14.5 million. Tedeschi wasted little time before calling and O'Dwyer regained some of his chips.

O'Dwyer Leads the Final Four Into Dinner Break

It wasn't long after Andras Nemeth eliminated Ben Tollerene, that he found himself with the second largest stack of the remaining five players. He built his stack up from just five big blinds and had put himself in a great position for a seven-figure payday.

However, after Steve O'Dwyer raised to 3.7 million with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, Nemeth shipped all in for 71.5 million with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. O'Dwyer made the call and the two players were in a massive flip for the chip lead. The dealer fanned the flop of {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to give O'Dwyer the best hand with a pair of aces. The {q-Clubs} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river changed nothing as Nemeth was eliminated in fifth place.

It was a somewhat cautious approach heading into the dinner break for the three shorter stacks. O'Dwyer holds well over half of the chips in play and is well on his way to another Super High Roller victory.

Ben Tollerene Heads to the Rail in 6th Place

Ben Tollerene came into the day second in chips and even held the chip lead not long ago. However, the past hour or so has been a rough time for Tollerene at the felt. He recently raised to 3.5 million in from the hijack with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and was called by Charles La Boissonniere with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Paul Tedeschi with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Roger Teska was in the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and moved all in for 29.3 million. Tollerene re-shoved for a little more which got the other two players to fold.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Tollerene remained in the lead with the only pair. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn improved Tollerene to a straight but Teska picked up a flush draw. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Teska made his flush to leave Tollerene with only 5 million behind. In the next hand, Tollerene was all in but was unable to connect with the board as he exited in sixth place.

Charles La Boissonniere has remained relatively quiet throughout the day but has been slowly chipping his way up through the field. In a recent pot, the French Canadian turned a straight against Andras Nemeth's pair with a straight and flush draw. The river bricked off but La Boissonniere still got value when Nemeth called with second pair.

Nemeth was down to just 7.7 million and moved all in from under the gun with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Ben Tollerene called on his left with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the two players were off to the races. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Nemeth was able to double up to a little over 10 big blinds.
