All In! Call! Chop!

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Levinskas limped in from the button and Zaichenko checked his option. As easy going as things started, so heated would things turn on the flop.

Zaichenko lead for 300,000 on {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Levinskas raised to 700,000. Zaichenko made it 1.6 million and Levinskas took his time to count out his raise to 2.5 million. Zaichenko pushed all in immediately and Levinskas made the call just as fast.

Levinskas: {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Zaichenko: {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} on the turn was a blank but the {Q-Hearts} on the river gave both players the same full house and so they split the pot.

The {a-Hearts} completed the board and Zaichenko checked. Levinskas looked down at his chips before double fist pumping a bet of one million in chips into the middle. Zaichenko tossed in the call only to muck his hand when Levinskas rolled over his {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for trip aces.

Zaichenko Doubles

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Laurynas Levinskas limped into the pot before Andrey Zaichenko raised it up to 600,000. The bet was called and both players watched the flop come down {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Zaichenko threw out a continuation bet totalling 600,000 which was quickly called before the {6-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Levinskas watched Zaichenko slide out one million in chips before he announced all in. Zaichenko snap called for his tournament life and the cards were tabled.

Zaichenko: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Levinskas: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}

Zaichenko had turned trip sixes and was in great shape to double through Levinskas who had an up and down straight draw.

Francois Billard Eliminated in 3rd Place (€405,260)

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Francois Billard
Francois Billard

Andrey Zaichenko folded huis button and so action was on Francois Billard in the small blind. The French Canadian pushed all in for 2,265,000 and Laurynas Levinskas in the big blind snap called. "How come you always have a hand when you push from the small blind" laughed a relaxed Levinskas, "I only push value" said Billard with a smile after they both turned their hands over.

Francois Billard: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Laurynas Levinskas: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop was safe for Billard with {2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn however, was not. Levinskas was now ahead but Billard had plenty of outs with straight and flush draw cards to hit.

The {10-Clubs} on the river paired him up but it wasn't enough. Billard leaves for Canada with €405,260. Play is now heads up.

Levinskas Gets Lucky

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Francois Billard limped in from the small blind and Laurynas Levinskas checked.

The flop came down {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and both players checked. The {7-Spades} on the turn saw Billard bet out 260,0000 only to have Levinskas come over the top with a raise to 620,000. Billard called before the dealer produced the {j-Clubs} on the river.

Billard checked and watched Levinskas bet out 700,000 in chips. He called only to muck disappointedly when Levinskas rolled over his {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a rivered pair of jacks.

Zaichenko Changes It Up

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

The action started with Andrey Zaichenko raising to 320,000 from the small blind and getting called by Francois Billard on the big blind.

The flop came down {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Zaichenko threw out another 400,000. The bet was called and the dealer then produced the {a-Hearts} on the turn. Billard called another bet of 400,000 from Zaichenko as the {7-Hearts} completed the board.

Zaichenko didn’t slow down, sliding out 800,000. The bet was to large for Billard who mucked instantly.

“Oops!” said Zaichenko, tabling his {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a bluff.

“Well played. Nice hand,” replied Billard.
