The way was waiting in the door, and when the board ran out , Mrakes scored the double knock-out.
"With your luck and my skill we could probably win this tournament," tablemate Ethem Tosun joked, but Mrakes seems to be doing just fine on his own.
He just became the first player to break the 4 million mark.
Two British players, Kuljinder "Kully" Sidhu and Rehman Kassam, were just eliminated during the same hand by Sandro Pitzanti.
Sidhu jammed for 1 million from the button with queen-eight offsuit. Pitzanti jammed over the top from the small blind with pocket jacks and Kassam called with pocket nines.
The board ran all blanks giving Pitzanti a huge pot and eliminating Kassam and Sidhu in 65th and 64th place respectfully for €3,200.
Meanwhile, Pitzanti's stack grew to almost 3 million in chips.
A short stacked Martin Wrulich moved all-in for his last 305,000 chips from early position, and Tomas Fara in the small blind made the call. The big blind folded and Wrulich got the bad news even before he got to table his .
Fara's was way ahead, and nothing changed as the board ran out and Fara scooped the pot.
It's been a long day of poker at the King's Casino Rozvadov, and it's not just taking its toll on the players, but on the dealers as well. A somewhat peculiar situation just happened on Natalia Breviglieri's table, when she raised to 105,000 from middle position and was facing a shove from MilanoTomasso for 860,000 out of the small blind.
While the partypoker Sponsored Pro was contemplating what to do, the dealer had thought the hand to be over, and had removed the cut card and put the mucked cards and the deck in one big pile. A floor manager was instantly called, and after conferring with the dealer, it was ruled that the hand could continue since the cards hadn't been shuffled together, and thus, the mucked cards could never make it onto the flop, turn or river because of them being in the bottom of the pile.
With that distraction out of the way, Breviglieri got back to the dilemma at hand and ended up making the call with . It was a coin flip against MilanoTomasso's , but it wasn't to be for the Brit this time as the board ran out and she handed over the chips.
Lukas Jebavy made it 140,000 to go from first position, and 7ander on the button moved all-in for around a cool million. The blinds got out of the way, and Jebavy made the call.
Jebavy's were way out in front of 7andar's , and when the board ran out , 7andar was out in 49th place. With that elimination, another table was collapsed as the remaining 48 players are now gathered on six full tables.
Former poker dealer Matúš Schnierer was sweating hard. He looked at one of his cards he later said was an ace and jammed in for less than four big blinds or 230,000. He thought his day was done after he got one caller, but then he got two more to bring four hands into the hand.
The hand took a few minutes to play out. During this time, partypoker Tournament Director Christian Scalzi reminded Schnierer on two occasions not to leave the table because the dealer could accidentally muck his cards. He warned Schnierer after the second time he wouldn't be getting a third reminder. Schnierer calmed his nerves and sat back in his seat.
His three opponents subsequently checked down all three streets on a board before all four players turned over their cards. Two of Schnierer's opponents held ace-ten while the third one held king-queen. Schnierer turned over for top pair which was good enough to collect a pot just north of 1 million chips.
