Loosli Wins a Race to Entend His Tournament Life
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Action folded to Sylvain Loosli on the button and he put in a min-raise to 6,000. Vadim Belov, who was in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 19,500, and that inspired the big blind to fold. Loosli then moved all in for 49,200 and Belov wasted little time in making the call.

It was a race, but Loosli came up empty on the flop. A jack would make him a straight, but of course Belov killed two of them. Nonetheless, the on the turn was even better as Loosli took the lead with a pair of aces. Belov picked up a straight draw of his own, but he missed it as the blanked on the river. Ship the double to the Frenchman.
