Massive Double Up for Tureniec!
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
On the button, Michael Tureniec opened for 105,000. Per Linde passed his small blind, but in the big blind John Eames made it 280,000 to go. Back to Tureniec, who tanked up for some time before making it 600,000. Back to Eames, who also had a little dwell, before five-betting to 1.08 million - as EPT Live said, perhaps the first time in EPT history that a finalist has made a five-bet that wasn't all in. So when Tureniec went all in for 4.145 million, it constituted a six-bet. Eames called, and it was a race for a vast chip lead.
Eames: not kings this time, but

Board:
Eames had Tureniec covered, but only just - he's down to little more than 10 big blinds on 525,000. Tureniec is now in possession of around 60% of the chips.
