Face Off

Two of the largest stacks in the room are sat facing each other. Mathew Frankland amassed his stack by eliminating fellow countryman James Mitchell earlier and he was in the chip lead. We say "was" because we believe he has now slipped into second place and our new chip leader is Fabrice Soulier and this is how he took it.

Soulier raised to 3,400 from middle position and Vytautas Milvydas called before Frankland squeezed from the button to 11,300. Soulier called the three-bet and then Milvydas pushed all-in for 47,800 in total. The action was on Frankland and he called before Soulier announced all-in as well. This was a huge shove and one that Frankland didn't even give one second of thought to before folding.

Soulier: {a-Hearts} {k-Hearts}
Milvydas: {a-Clubs} {q-Clubs}
