Smiljkovic Loses Some to Quads, Still Leads
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
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": 
Daniel "SmilleThHero" Smiljkovic: 
"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.
