"StarChaser420" Over Four Million Now

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

"StarChaser420" raised to 100,000, and "chrissyrivers" called to see the flop come {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}. "chrissyrivers" checked, and after "StarChaser420" bet 50,000, "chrissyrivers" moved all in for 450,000. It was a bad time to make a move, as "StarChaser420" quickly called with {q-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair.

"chrissyrivers" had just {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and while they picked up a seven on the turn, they got no further assistance on the river.

With that, just two tables remain!

Case Queen Saves "TJ112298"

Blinds: 30,000/60,000

"TJ112298" moved all in from early position for their final 613,000 and change, and chip leader "StarChaser420" called them with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. They were dominated by the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} of "TJ112298", but that quickly changed after the flop came down {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. However, just as quickly, the {q-Hearts} came on the river, quickly giving "TJ112298" a set of queens. Only another ace on the river would change the hand now, but a king came instead, and "TJ112298" secured the double.
