Alekhin Absconds With LaGarde's Chips

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

With the board reading {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Stanislav Alekhin bet out 78,000 and was called by Matthew LaGarde. The {k-Clubs} came on the turn and Alekhin bet again, this time for 150,000, and was again called by LaGarde. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Alekhin fired a third bullet into the pot, this one for 370,000. LaGarde decided he had had enough and folded and Alekhin showed his {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} bluff as he raked in the pot.
