Zach Hyman raised to 10,000 in middle position, Sam Greenwood three-bet to 30,000 in the hijack and Byron Kaverman four-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff. Hyman folded, Greenwood five-bet to effectively 190,000ish and Kaverman called all in.

Greenwood: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Kaverman: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, no help to Kaverman, securing the pot and the chip lead for Greenwood.

More Prop Bets for McDonald

Mike McDonald does push-ups to win a bet

The tournament area of the $100,000 Super High Roller just got a little bit crazier as a new prop bet has been issued to Mike "Timex" McDonald. As we reported on earlier in the day, McDonald completed 300 air squats during one level and was handsomely rewarded for his efforts with a payday of $10,000. Now, it seems the challenge level for McDonald has been drastically increased.

McDonald has recently begun a quest to complete 350 push-ups before the 60-minute level concludes. From what we can gather, McDonald was challenged by Bill Perkins who will reward a successful McDonald with another $10,000 and $10,000 to a charity of his choice. In order to ensure that McDonald's push-ups were of quality, a plastic food container was placed on the ground and it has been ruled that his chest must touch the container during each push-up.

Immediately following a set of push-ups, McDonald hopped back up to the table to look at a hand he was dealt. After folding the cards, McDonald instinctively grabbed a stack of chips and began riffling them.

"Are you sure you should be shuffling chips?" asked Jason Mercier from another table. "You're wasting energy."

McDonald immediately stopped and placed the stack back with the rest of his chips, eliciting a large belly laugh from Mercier. As of this post, McDonald's push up count sits just over 100.

McDonald Takes The Lead

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Mike Watson raised to 9,000 in the hijack, Mike McDonald three-bet to 27,000 in the cutoff and Watson called to see a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}.

Watson check-called 25,000 from McDonald to see the {8-Spades} turn, which both players checked. The {2-Spades} river completed the board and Watson bet 62,000. McDonald tanked for a bit before he called.

Watson tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, falling to McDonald {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a flush.
