Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
  • Elisabeth Hille opened to 400,000 from middle position, Michael Esposito called on the button, and the blinds released. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and Hille led for 475,000. Esposito released.
  • Marc Ladouceur opened to 400,000 on the button, and Andras Koroknai defended his big blind. The flop was {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and both players checked. The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Koroknai checked again. Ladouceur fired 475,000, and Koroknai called. The {5-Diamonds} completed the board, and Koroknai checked again. Ladouceur checked behind, tabling {9-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes, and won the pot.
  • Greg Merson opened to 400,000 from middle position, and the action folded to Marc Ladouceur, who called in the cutoff seat. The button and blinds released, and the flop fell {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Merson checked, Ladouceur fired 675,000, and Merson called. The turn brought the {j-Hearts}, both players checked, and the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Merson checked a third time, and Ladouceur fired over a million. Merson quickly folded, and Ladouceur picked up the pot.
