Aymon Hata open-shoved for his last 112,300 over on the feature table and the action folded all the way to Ben Heath in the big blind. Heath called and the cards were turned over.

Ben Heath:
The board came and Hata doubled to stay in, but remains among the short stacks with three tables remaining.
10 minutes ago Paul Byrne and Oliver Waters got into a blind on blind fight that saw Waters river a jack for the double. An orbit later the two were at it again, getting it all in preflop for 141,000 effective.
Yet again Waters was dominated as his had run into the of Byrne, but this time the dealer had no tricks up her sleeve as the board ran out and Byrne scored the double.
Laszlo Bujtas could very well be the first to surpass one million chips. As a matter of fact, he is only a mere 40,000 chips away after his recent success over Keith Johnson.
Preflop Bujtas made it 23,000 to go and got calls from both Paul Byrne on the button and Johnson in the big blind. Bujtas continued for 38,000 on the flop and after Johnson made the call the two of them saw the on the turn.
Johnson checked his option, and Bujtas fired 113,000. Johnson seized up his own stack contemplating what to do, but eventually decided against putting any of his remaining 375,000 into the middle.
With a successful three-bet, Laszlo Bujtas crossed the seven-digit chip barrier and Jason Wheeler followed suit on the other outer table by taking down two hands in a row.
Joao Simao opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Wheeler three-bet to 68,500 in the hijack. Simao folded and the pot was shipped to the American.
One hand later, Wheeler raised to 23,000 and Claas Segebrecht in the cutoff as well as Niall Farrell in the big blind called. The flop came and the action checked to Wheeler, who claimed the pot uncontested with a bet worth 27,000.
Stuart Fox had been nurturing a short stack for quite some time, looking for just the right spots to put his stack over the betting line. He actually found it two hands in a row, but while he took down the blinds and antes the first time, he weren't that lucky the second time around.
Fox moved all-in for something in the neighbourhood of 130,000, and Stefan Schillhabel made the call from the button.
Stuart Fox:
Stefan Schillhabel:
The board ran out and just like that Fox was out. 22 players are still in contention in this partypoker Millions High Roller.
Aymon Hata lost almost all of his chips with pocket eights against the of Max Silver over on the feature table when the board ran out .
Hata was then in the big blind when Jan-Eric Schwippert raised and moved all in for the last 22,400, which was less than the initial raise of Schwippert.
Aymon Hata:
Jan-Eric Schwippert:
The board came and Hata doubled. The Brit then shoved once and got through with it, but remains the shortest stack in the field.
In one of the last hands of the level, Daniel Merrilees opened from the cutoff and Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 87,000 in the small blind, which Merrilees called. On the flop, Schillhabel continued for 55,000 and Merrilees called before the turn and river were checked.
Schillhabel showed for aces and tens, which was good enough to claim the pot.
The tournament has reached its third break of the day. 22 players are still in the hunt for the trophy and the top prize of £320,000 in this partypoker Millions High Roller at the Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham.
There are 22 players remaining and the feature table changed, which now includes partypoker pro Joao Simao. Claas Segebrecht was all in but didn't get a caller while over on the second table, Jan-Eric Schwippert defended the big blind against a raise to 27,000 by Vojtech Ruzicka on the button.
The flop fell and Schwippert checked, Ruzicka continued for 21,000 and that did the trick.
Soon after, Aymon Hata moved all in out of the big blind over an open raise by Tom Hall and the latter quicky called.
