Niveau 26 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Just a few hands after losing a big pot to Leon Tsoukernik, Chance Kornuth was unable to turn things around as he was ousted from the MILLIONS World event along with Matt Berkey. There were just 17 players remaining, only one away from combining to the final two tables.

Isaac Haxton raised it up from the cutoff and Ben Tollerene called on the button. The two players saw a flop of and both checked to the on the turn. That is when all of the chips got in the middle but Haxton was disappointed to see the cards. Tollerene turned over for a straight while Haxton held pocket kings. The on the river changed nothing and the field was narrowed down to just two tables.

Isaac Haxton was the last partypoker pro remaining but he will have to settle for a 17th place finish. Meanwhile, Tollerene has amassed a stack of over 72,000,000, three times the average stack in the tournament.

Another Big Pot for Tsoukernik

ajlamers

Niveau 25 : 175,000/350,000, 300,000 ante

Leon Tsoukernik will not be one player to shy away from the action with all of the biggest names in poker, and he is proving he can battle with the best of them today. It also helps when he gets cards. Tsoukernik raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun and Sam Chartier shipped all in for 6,800,000 on his left. Chance Kornuth flat-called in middle position and the action folded back to Tsoukernik who re-shoved all in for 12,150,000. Kornuth quickly called and all of the hands were face up.

Sam Chartier:

Tsoukernik was in a great position to double up his stack and take out Chartier. The board ran out and Tsoukernik held on for the win. He's been riding the waves of tournament poker for the entire day but that is expected when you are playing a lot of pots.

Eliminations are Fast and Furious

Niveau 24 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The beneficiaries of all of the bustouts appear to be Steve O'Dwyer who has retaken the chip lead, Ben Tollerene who just recently moved to the feature table, and Ajay Chabra who is stamping his place near the top of the leaderboard for the first time.
