Everyone Loves a Cop Pot

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard put his tournament life on the line with an effective shove from the big blind after Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic raised the button to 80,000. Smiljkovic clicked it back, and Leonard got the rest in.

They were both playing king-queen however, and the board ran out to a chip.

Smiljkovic Loses Some to Quads, Still Leads

Smiljkovic Loses Some to Quads, Still Leads
Smiljkovic Loses Some to Quads, Still Leads

Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic was up over 6 million for a bit, but he's been chopped back down to size a bit by "U_Key_U" from Japan. Smiljkovic shoved the small blind over a middle-open to 80,000 from "U_Key_U", and they called off their stack.

"U_Key_U": {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

"U_Key_U" was ahead from the start with the over pair, but flopping a set and rivering quads never hurts the equity. Smiljkovic doesn't have 6 million anymore, but still leads the 39 remaining players by 1 million chips at least.

Smiljkovic First Over 5 million with Arends' Stack

Level 23 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

It was blind-on-blind and Jans "Graftekkel" Arends limped, then called when Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic raised the big blind to 122,500. Arends check-called the {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop for 207,375.

He check-called again for 518,438 on the {3-Hearts} turn, and check-called for his stack when Smiljkovic bombed the {4-Hearts} river with an over=-pot 2,246,564, enough to cover his opponent,

Jans "Graftekkel" Arends: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Smiljkovic had the over pair all along, and held over the flopped top pair for Arends.
