Eric Levesque Silenced in 4th Place ($45,221)

In what was the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, Canadian Sol Bergren has just knocked out fellow Canuck Eric Levesque to move back into the chip lead.

Bergren opened the pot with a raise to 120,000 and the action moved to Levesque.

"I feel more than good," Levesque said, after raising to a whopping 700,000; this just one hand after he moved in over the top of another 120,000 preflop raise from Bergren).

Bergren double-checked his cards before making his decision.

"All in," he announced. A call was made and the players would soon find out they'd be racing for fourth place:

Bergren: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Levesque: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

"Put a snowman up there," Bergren said.

Though no eight appeared, the {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board was kind to Bergren, whose pocket eights held up to earn him the pot.

Bergren stacked up 2.285 million in chips after the hand.
