Lefrancois Applies Pressure
Level 31
: 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
The first 10 minutes of the new level on the outer table brought no massive action before Pascal Lefrancois used his big stack to apply pressure. Zhong Chen opened to 3.5 million in the cutofff and Lefrancois called on the button, as did Adam Owen in the big blind.
The flop fell 
and action checked to Lefrancois, who bet 3.5 million. Owen called and Chen then check-raised to 11 million. Lefrancois was the only caller to see the 
turn go check, check. Chen checked the 
river and Lefrancois bet 75 million to give Chen all but two options, call all in or fold.
After using one time bank, Chen opted to send his cards into the muck.
