Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From the hijack seat, Dieter Albrecht raised to 3,000. Bertrand "ElkY Grospellier called from the small blind and Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet to 14,400 from the big blind. Albrecht called and Grospellier folded.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and McDonald bet 16,600. Albrecht raised to 36,000 and then McDonald reraised to 72,000. Albrecht called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and McDonald bet 67,000. Albrecht raised all in and McDonald called. Both players turned up a big slick variation; McDonald held the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Albrecht the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The river was the {4-Spades} to complete the board and the two chopped up the pot.
