Grafton Doubles Up "hello_totti"
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
The action folded to Sam "SamSquid" Grafton in the small blind and he chose to put big blind "hello_totti" all-in for 159,340 chips. The latter made a quick call and the pair showed their cards.
"hello_totti": A♦K♦
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: K♣6♣
Grafton made it exciting when he flopped a flush draw on Q♣5♣7♦, but no further help arrived on the 5♥9♦ runout, doubling up his opponent. He is still sitting well above the two-million mark, however.

: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
A raise to 40,000 was made by "komarac_zg" from middle position, and David "dpeters17" Peters defended his big blind. Peters then check-called a 26,000 continuation-bet by "komarac_zg" on the 4♣6♣3♣ flop, and did so too for the 48,600 bet that followed on the 6♥ turn.
The 10♥ river then was checked by both players and Peters showed A♣10♣ for the flopped flush. His opponent could not beat that and left themself short while Peters chipped up to more than 25 big blinds.

MacDonald Tries to Be a Hero
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
"Klyukvenniy" opened the action with a raise to 40,000 in the cutoff and Tom "7tHEcROw7" MacDonald defended the big blind.
The flop of 4♦6♥9♣ subsequentially saw MacDonald check to his opponent, who made a continuation-bet of 34,100. MacDonald then fired a raise to 115,00, which "Klyukvenniy" called.
The A♥ was turned and MacDonald now slowed down with a check. "Klyukvenniy" responded with a small bet of 60,000 chips and MacDonald made the call.
The K♥ river completed the board and MacDonald checked once more. This time, "Klyukvenniy" went all-in for 336,420 chips. MacDonald went deep into his time bank, but eventually made the call.
"Klyukvenniy" showed A♠6♠ for two pair and MacDonald was not even close to beating that with his Q♣9♦ for a pair of nines. "Klyukvenniy" doubled up to over a million while MacDonald, who sat near the top of the leaderboard at the start of the day, was left with just 500,000 chips

Proudfoot Eliminates MacDonald, Nears Three Million
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot made the minimum raise to 40,000 from early position and the action folded to Tom "7tHEcROw7" MacDonald in the big blind, who defended. The flop then fell 10♦10♥6♣ and Proudfoot made a continuation-bet of 24,200 after a check from MacDonald.
The latter then responded with a raise to 80,000 chips and Proudflop called. On the K♣ turn, MacDonald fired another 130,000 into the pot and once again Proudfoot called.
MacDonald then shipped all in for 338,536 on the 7♣ river and Proudfoot responded with a snap call. MacDonald showed A♣10♣ for the ace-high flush, but Proudfoot had the best of it with his K♠10♠ for a turned full house.
MacDonald entered Day 2 as second in chips, but had to leave before the money is in sight. Meanwhile, Proudfoot plays almost three million chips and has a comfortable spot on the leaderboard.

Adams On the Short End of Big Flip
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
"Eleres88" open-raised to 40,000 chips from under the gun before Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams made it 123,000 to go from the hijack. The rest of the table folded, but "Eleres88" four-bet jammed, covering Adams' stack of roughly 850,000 chips. Adams wasted no time in calling and the pair showed down.
Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: A♦K♠
"Eleres88": Q♥Q♦
Adams paired his ace on the A♣J♠10♥ flop, but the detrimental K♣ turn gave "Eleres88" a straight. No chop or full house arrived for Adams on the 10♦ river and he was sent home while his opponent gathered a big stack.

"DingeBrinker" Doubles Up
Level 20
: Blinds 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
"DingeBrinker" raised to 50,000 from middle position and "normannolly" three-bet all-in from the small blind, barely covering "DingeBrinker"s stack of 667,800. "DingeBrinker" made a swift call and the cards went on their virtual backs.
"DingeBrinker": A♠K♠
"normannolly: A♥Q♠
Neither player improved on the 9♥4♦10♦3♦8♥ runout, meaning that "DingeBrinker"s ace-king-high would secure them the pot, leaving their opponent with just over two big blinds.

Schemion Wheeled Out of the Main Event
Level 20
: Blinds 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
"Eleres88" made a raise to 50,000 from under the gun and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion three-bet all-in for 249,162 from middle position. The action folded back to "Eleres88", who made the call.
Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: 10♠10♣
"Eleres88": A♥10♦
All seemed well for Schemion on the 3♥4♠2♣7♠ board, but the 5♥ river made "Eleres88" the lowest possible straight, beating out the pair of Schemion, eliminating the German in brutal fashion.
