The players are on a 10-minute break. Lynn Gilmartin catches Lucille out in the rain for a very quick chat.
The 2012 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final
Sergio Castelluccio raised to 240,000, in first position, holding and Mohsin Charania three-bet, on the button, holding . Lucille Cailly was in the small blind holding and her pink painted fingernails tapped the top of her stack as she pondered whether or not she wanted a threesome. After asking Castelluccio for a count she said, "raise," and made the cold four-bet to 1,210,000.
Cold four-bets, on this final table, are about as rare as Rocking Horse doo-doo and it got the respect that it deserved as both players folded. That was the last action of this level.

Turn:

River:
Another low card, and Charania fired a third barrel of 1,380,000. Castelluccio hated it and his body posture crumpled into an awful pose. His hand instinctively went to his head as he wondered, "how the hell did I get into this situation?" His eyes blinked feverishly and he turned to see if he could get any inkle of a tell from Charania who was just staring straight ahead; his hood covering the Castelluccio side of his face.
He exhaled a huge puff of air, shook his head slightly and made the crying call. Charania looked up at the clock and then dragged in his chip leading chips.
Mohsin Charania raised to 250,000 in first position holding and everyone folded.
