Just before the break, we picked up the action on the flop as the board showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

. Joey Lawrence put out a bet of 61,000, and Robert Lee Preston made the call next door. The third player in the pot, Loic Degrou, moved all in for 405,000. Lawrence then moved all in with his big stack, and Preston called all in for his last 320,000 as well!

Showdown
Lawrence: {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

Preston:

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

Degrou:

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

With a massive pot up for grabs, the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

hit the turn, vaulting Degrou into the lead and leaving Lawrence drawing dead. Preston would need the board to pair to stay alive, but the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

that filled out the river was a blank. He's been sent home, Lawrence has slipped to 760,000, while Degrou nearly triples up to right around 1.2 million.
