The players just recently returned from dinner break but it didn't long for the chips to start flying. Ben Tollerene opened to 700,000 in the cutoff and was called by Leon Tsoukernik on the button and Chance Kornuth in the big blind.
The flop came and the action checked around to the on the turn. Kornuth and Tollerene checked again and Tsoukernik bet 2,000,000 this time. Kornuth called and Tollerene check-raised to 7,000,000. Tsoukernik made a quick call and Kornuth got out of the way.
The river was the and Tollerene announced a bet of 14,000,000. Tsoukernik leaned back in his chair and thought for over a minute, using up a time extension before sliding in a call. Tollerene turned over for a Broadway while Tsoukernik showed for two pair. Tsoukernik, who was the chipleader, fell down the leaderboard while Tollerene scooped a massive pot.

Leon Tsoukernik will not be one player to shy away from the action with all of the biggest names in poker, and he is proving he can battle with the best of them today. It also helps when he gets cards. Tsoukernik raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun and Sam Chartier shipped all in for 6,800,000 on his left. Chance Kornuth flat-called in middle position and the action folded back to Tsoukernik who re-shoved all in for 12,150,000. Kornuth quickly called and all of the hands were face up.
Leon Tsoukernik:
Chance Kornuth:
Sam Chartier:
Tsoukernik was in a great position to double up his stack and take out Chartier. The board ran out and Tsoukernik held on for the win. He's been riding the waves of tournament poker for the entire day but that is expected when you are playing a lot of pots.

Just a few hands after losing a big pot to Leon Tsoukernik, Chance Kornuth was unable to turn things around as he was ousted from the MILLIONS World event along with Matt Berkey. There were just 17 players remaining, only one away from combining to the final two tables.
Isaac Haxton raised it up from the cutoff and Ben Tollerene called on the button. The two players saw a flop of and both checked to the on the turn. That is when all of the chips got in the middle but Haxton was disappointed to see the cards. Tollerene turned over for a straight while Haxton held pocket kings. The on the river changed nothing and the field was narrowed down to just two tables.
Isaac Haxton was the last partypoker pro remaining but he will have to settle for a 17th place finish. Meanwhile, Tollerene has amassed a stack of over 72,000,000, three times the average stack in the tournament.

The flop came and O'Dwyer checked to Chabra who continued for another 2,800,000. O'Dwyer check-raised all in and Chabra called off his stack of 12,200,000.
O'Dwyer turned over for a straight draw and was up against the of Chabra. The turn brought the to give O'Dwyer some more outs and the on the river completed his straight. Chabra exited the feature table in 16th place, good enough for $120,000.

Tsoukernik was ousted in 14th place and it was not long after that Michael Addamo was eliminated in 13th place. Addamo was the short stack on the outer table and was unable to spin up his stack. Charles La Boissonniere and Rainer Kempe have been the big movers on that table over the past level.
