Lucky Lacay

Ludovic Lacay - chip leader
Ludovic Lacay - chip leader
I think the phrase the kids are using these days is "MBN," and it would certainly apply to Ludovic Lacay, whose combination of skill and good fortune have seen him take the chip lead with a mammoth 530,000.

Most of those chips derived from his recent encounter with Pavel Blatny, where Lacay limped from the button with {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} before calling a raise from Blatny in the small blind.

The {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop was a beauty for the Frenchman, who duly raised his opponent's leading bet. Blatny smooth-called.

On the {J-Clubs} turn, all the monies went in, Blatny probably confident about his {A-?}{J-?} before being shown Lacay's goodies. No assistance on the river, and the Czech was gone, leaving Lacay to start reconstructing the biggest stack of the tournament thus far.
