Smiljkovic Takes Chip Lead and is First Over 3 Million

Level 7 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

Before the break, Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic opened to 41,000 in the cutoff and Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind. Smiljkovic called and the two players saw a flop of {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

Dimov led for 120,000 and Smiljkovic raised to 300,875 which was called. The turn {2-Hearts} saw Dimov check-shove following a 267,400 bet and put in his 697,964 chips. Smiljkovic called and hands were tabled.

Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Dimov needed an ace or a deuce to stay alive but the {j-Clubs} peeled off on the river to eliminate him and give Smiljkovic the chip lead.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
"Chester20o": {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop was {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and the turn was the {2-Hearts}. "Chester20o" just needed to fade a river four or six to double up and stay alive, but it was the {6-Diamonds} to complete the board and eliminate him.

Spragg Knocked Out of Contention

Level 8 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg opened to 50,000 in middle position and Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver raised to 462,500 on the button, essentially putting himself all in. Action folded back to Spragg who put all his chips in and Oliver called for his last 5,958.

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The two were racing and Spragg stayed ahead on the {4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop as well as the {j-Spades} turn. The {10-Clubs} river however gave Oliver Broadway and left Spragg short.

On the next hand, Spragg got his remaining 52,019 stack in the middle with {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} of "Rus)Timur". The board ran out {q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {j-Hearts}, eliminating Spragg in back-to-back hands against ace-queen where Broadway was made on the river.
