Anton Makievskyi raised to 700,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Eoghan O'Dea in the small blind. O'Dea checked his cards, then announced a reraise to 2.1 million. Phil Collins quickly tossed his cards away from the big blind. After about a half-minute of thought Makievskyi let his hand go as well, and the pot went O'Dea's way.
O'Dea pushes up around 36 million there, while Makievskyi has about 23 million.
First into the pot from the cutoff seat, Anton Makievskyi raised to 700,000, and Martin Staszko reraised to 1.675 right next door in position. When it folded back around to Makievskyi, he took his time pondering before sliding out another raise, making it an even 4 million to go. Staszko shoved right back over the top for about 16 million that he had behind. Makievskyi didn't waste any time folding, and Staszko is nipping at his heels now, less than 2 million chips behind -- 22 million to 23.8 million.
Samuel Holden min-raised to 600,000 on the button, Matt Giannetti defended his big, and the dealer fanned . Giannetti quickly checked, Holden continued for 800,000, and Giannetti called.

Anton Makievskyi raised to 700,000 on two consecutive hands (button and hijack), and earned the blinds and antes both times. On the next hand, Phil Collins opened for 725,000 from under the gun, and that worked the same trick, adding a few chips to his stack.
Then it was Bryan Devonshire's turn to raise -- 700,000 from the cutoff -- but instead of folds all around, his raise was met with an all-in reraise by Khoa Nguyen from the button for 3.86 million. It folded back around and Devonshire called.

The turn was the , Lamb checked again, and Holden fired 1.6 million. Lamb called.
The completed the board, and Lamb quickly checked a third time. Under a menacing stare from Lamb, Holden slid 3.2 million into the middle. Lamb scratched his head, examined the massive pot, then began to stare at Holden once again.
Lamb opted to fold however, and Holden raked in the pot.
Under the gun, Martin Staszko raised to 675,000, and Eoghan O'Dea wanted to play for more. From the button, he three-bet to 1.6 million straight, and the table folded back around to the original raiser. Staszko was undeterred, and he four-bet all the way up to 4.175 million. That shook O'Dea off his hand, folding his cards into the muck to send a little chunk over to Staszko.
John Hewitt opened to 650,000 from the hijack seat, Pius Heinz called out of the small blind, and so too did Matt Giannetti in the big. The flop fell , Heinz and Giannetti checked, and Hewitt continued for 1.2 million. Both Heinz and Giannetti released, and Hewitt shipped the pot.
