Three-handed and Tons of Chips
The biggest pot of the tournament just went down at table 13 as Nicolas Lecoeur and Alexis Tailhardat got all the money in preflop blind versus blind in a classic coinflip. The of Lecoeur was slightly trailing the of Tailhardat, but the flop turned that around and put Lecoeur in pole position for a massive double up.
There's no certainties in poker, however, and the turn put Tailhardat right back in the driver's seat, and the kept him right there. After a recount Lecoeur was declared eliminated, and Tailhardat could rake in the massive pot of almost 220,000.
"Three-handed. Yeah, bring it on," Romain Lewis happily exclaimed after Lecoeur had hit the rail. Lewis has got both chips (170,000 as of now) and momentum, as he recorded his biggest score just a month ago in Monaco for €127,385.
