Everything Gets There vs. Hardcastle
Anton Suarez, now he has a stack going, is getting busy preflop. He did so with [9d2d] in the hijack, raising to 3,500,000, called by big blind Jack Hardcastle.
Hardcastle hit top pair on the [7s3d5d] flop and led out for 3,500,000. Call.
Turn: [5s]. Hardcastle led again, this time for 8,500,000. After a virtuoso display of speed chip riffling, Suarez called again.
River: [4d], bringing in the straight and flush and stopping Hardcastle in his tracks. He checked and Suarez bet 16,000,000, uncalled.

Rudolph First to Top 100 Million Chips

Alex Lindop (10th for $60,000) and Jamie O’Connor (9th for $80,000) Bust in Same Hand
A monster three-way all in has busted two players in the same hand on the live stream, forming the final table with a bang.
Button Jamie O’Connor picked up [acts] and after a wee think, bet 10,000,000 (just over half his remaining chiops). Small blind Christian Rudolph (42 million chips) and big blind Alex Lindop (16.8 million chips) both had huge hands, too, and put their stacks in the middle:
Rudolph: [ahkd]
Lindop: [Adqd]
Rudolph was in great shape against two weaker aces, and the board avoided danger with a [4c7h9h] flop. His opponents were drawing dead after the [Ks] turn.

Anton Suarez Ascends to Chip Lead after Huge Cooler
Five-handed, it folded to Anton Suarez on the button, who raised to 3,500,000 with [ahkh]. Over to big blind Jamie O’Connor, who looked down at [asqc] and moved all-in, for 44,200,000. Suarez called, and the bad news was face-up for O’Connor to see as the board ran out [ks5d4h6d9d].

Rudolph Teaches Table (and Geilich) a Lesson
Ludovic Geilich raised in the cutoff to 2,400,000 with [jcth], and Christian Rudolph defended his big blind with [7s4h]. They both caught a piece of the [jd7s8d] flop. Rudolph check-called Geilich’s 1,200,000 bet on the flop, which brought him another seven, albeit the [7d]. Now Rudolph led for 2,800,000. Geilich called.
The river: [qs]. Out led Rudolph for 6,200,000 and Geilich opted for the dramatic option of turning his hand into a bluff with a raise to 12,500,000, leaving himself just 3,900,000.
Rudolph ran down the clock while going through his detailed thought process out loud, eventually talking his way into a correct call, winning him a huge pot.
“How much do we owe you for the lesson?” a tablemate asked.
“I normally don’t teach…”
