Josip Simunic checked in the big blind on a 
flop, and Farid Yachou bet 32,000. Simunic raised to 83,000, and Yachou called. Simunic shoved all in on the 
turn for 201,000, and Yachou went into the tank.
"Nine with diamonds, huh?" he asked.
Eventually, he folded.
Acting out of middle position, Steven Thompson Vila raised to 28,000. In the cutoff, it was Patrick Leonard who three-bet to 79,000. Action folded to Michael Addamo in the big blind and he tanked for a bit before he shoved for 327,000. Vila folded right away, Leonard simply revealed his hand as his holding said enough.
Patrick Leonard: 
Michael Addamo: 
Addamo was in trouble but would get some help from the board. The flop came 
and Kassouf, never too tired to deliver a one-liner, said: "Never easy, never easy."
The 
on the turn was about as ugly a card as Leonard could see. He was drawing dead right there, the 
on the river was there just for good measures.
Liv Boeree, one of only a few PokerStars Team Pro's to enter, has just been eliminated.
She was just moved to a new table as she found 
. She pushed her last 170,000 to the middle and was unfortunate enough to see Grzegorz Wyraz wake up with 
in the small blind.
Boeree did not make a comeback in the hand, failing to improve on the flop, turn and river.
Martin Finger opened for a raise and then called the shove of Sergio Aido, on the button with only 88,000.
Aido: 
Finger: 
Finger didn't have the live cards he likely hoped, and the sweat was a short one since the 
flop left him dead to runners and even those hopes ended with the 
.
Two players were just eliminated at the same table. First, Bartlomiej Machon busted Artem Kobylinskiy with 
against 
. Then, Andrei Alecu busted seconds later in a hand we didn't catch.
Andrey Kotelnikov was probably the first player in the payout line. He called off for about 170,000 in the big blind with 
against the shove of small blind Adrian Mateos, who had . The board ran out 
, so the king-high played.
Down to just 10,000, just two chips and less than a big blind, Isaac Haxton called all in from under the gun plus one. Action folded to Jens Lakemeier on the button and he raised to 175,000, putting both the small blind and big blind all in on top of putting Haxton at risk.
The small blind folded right away. Big blind Stephen Chidwick asked for clarification on who would bubble if two bust-outs happened at the same table, and folded as soon as he heard it was according to stack size and the prize would not be chopped.
The players were instructed to keep their hands down awaiting play to finish on all the other tables.
"I hope you have a really bad hand Jens" Haxton said to Lakemeier.
"I might have" Lakemeier answered with a mysterious smile.
It got busier and busier, railbirds and players from other tables all stood by as Haxton and Lakemeier were to reveal their hands.
"It feels so good, having all these people here supporting me!" Haxton said sarcastically.
"Ike! Ike! Ike!" chanted one railbird.
When it was time to open the cards, Lakemeier turned out to be a huge dog in the confrontation.
Isaac Haxton: 
Jens Lakemeier: 
The flop came 
and it took some seconds for the audience to realize that Haxton still had some outs to dodge. "Ooohh!" reacted the crowd after seeing the ten, "Ahhhh!" followed seconds later upon realizing a seven would grant Lakemeier a straight.
The hit the turn, followed by an even louder "Ahhh!" from the crowd and a sincere "Oh my god!" from Matas Cimbolas.
"Pair the board please," Haxton said. The dealer did not oblige: on the river.
After bubbling the €25,500 Single-Day High Roller III the day before yesterday, Isaac Haxton was now the last one to go before the money in the €10,300 High Roller. It's not all bad for Haxton this week, though, he won the first €25,500 Single-Day High Roller this week for €559,200.

"I told you, if you are gonna raise all the time, you're gonna be short stack" needled Farid yachou his neighbor Niklas Astedt. Moment before he had rivered a queen to double through him.
The Swede and the Dutchman got it in before the flop with 
for Astedt and for Yachou. The board ran out 
and Yachou doubled his 256,000-stack.
