The board came and MacDonnell doubled to just under a million in chips.
The feature table players haven't played too many big pots postflop, but there has been a bit of action preflop thanks to some early aggression from Andrei Boghean.
Luis Rodriguez limped the small blind and Boghean raised from the big blind to 145,000. Rodriguez countered with a reraise to 365,000 and Boghean folded.
Boghean then three-bet an 85,000 open from Jack Salter under the gun. Boghead made it 240,000 from the button and Salter called.
Boghean took down the pot on the with a 140,000 bet after Salter checked.
There are 12 players remaining in the WSOP Europe Main Event including defending champion Kevin MacPhee. MacPhee will have some work to do entering the day as the second shortest stack (1,060,000) when play resumes at noon Thursday.
Maria Ho leads the way with 3,850,000 and is seeking her first WSOP gold bracelet and major title. She spent the middle portion of the tournament griding a medium to short stack and found her footing after she made a controversial fold against Niall Farrell.
Ho had pocket tens in the big blind and the action before her was pretty intense. Rainer Kempe opened from the hijack and Kristen Bicknell called from the button. Farrell three-bet and Ho called from the big. Kempe and Bicknell both called as well. The flop was jack high all hearts and Ho flopped a set. She folded after Farrell went all in for about 1,000,000. Ho's fold seemed to catapult her through to the end of the night as she continued to climb and almost bag a chip lead of almost half a million.
Farrell was the one who closed the gap at the end of the night earning a double elimination. He got all in against two players, each of them held an ace. Farrell had the bigger ace and when each player failed to improve, Farrell won the hand.
Below is the seating chart for play today. The current plan is to play until six players today and return tomorrow to complete the tournament. Each of the remaining players is guaranteed €58,455 and the winner will take home €1,115,207 and the WSOP Europe Main Event title along with the WSOP gold bracelet.
