Levi Extends His Lead

With just three hands remaining, Thomas Bichon opened from UTG+2 for 1,250, only for chip leader Nicolas Levi to three-bet to 3,000 from the button. Bichon made the call.

The Frenchman and former WPT winner then check-called bets of 2,500 and 5,500 on the {2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and {4-Hearts} turn, before check-folding to a final bet of 11,500 on the {3-Diamonds} river, albeit after a lengthy pause.

As a result, Levi extends his lead and has become the first player to surpass the 150,000 mark.
