A Three-Bet and Fold

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The first three-bet of the heads-up duel saw Peter Jorgne open to 650,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Razvan Belea with the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} made it 2,325,000 to go and Jorgne surrendered.

Heads-up action continues to be very cagey and timid as the chip constellation barely changed since both players sat back down.

Jorgne Further Cuts Into Belea's Lead

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The next button raise to 525,000 by Peter Jorgne came with the {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, after which Razvan Belea defended the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop was all Jorgne and Belea checked, the Swede checked it back for the {3-Spades} to appear on the turn.

Fabrice Bigot Eliminated in 3rd Place (�535,850)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Fabrice Bigot
Fabrice Bigot

"How much is the minimum I can keep behind," Fabrice Bigot inquired before raising the button to 1,425,000 with 75,000 more at his disposal. Peter Jorgne in the small blind folded the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Belea asked for an exact amount on the bet, mulled it over before placing in some small chips without announcing anything.

Both players tabled their cards regardless to create the next all-in showdown.

Fabrice Bigot: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Razvan Belea: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

The {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop changed nothing but Belea picked up a lot of outs with the {8-Diamonds} turn. Belea got there with the {9-Clubs} river as he improved to a straight, knocking out Bigot in third place for a payday of �535,850.

The tournament has now reached the heads-up stage, and the action will recommence after a short break.
