Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Fabrice Brandt
Fabrice Brandt

Steven Morris raised to 325,000 from under the gun. Patrice Brandt was in the big blind and three-bet to 1,325,000. Morris four-bet to 3,600,000 and the action was back on Brandt.

After a while Brandt leaned forward to take a closer look at Morris' stack.

"Show the bluff," said Brandt, "Show the bluff and I fold." He leaned in closer to Morris. "Show me that smile," he continued, "You're getting red!"

"Please play fancy once in a while," continued Brandt while Morris remained non-plussed.

"I'm all in--FUCK," said Brandt, as his shove for 12,745,000 was snap-called by Morris.

Patrice Brandt: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Steven Morris: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Brandt was eliminated. The pair shook hands as the dealers counted out the stacks to confirm that Brandt was the eliminated player. It was close, but Morris had Brandt out-chipped by around 400,000.

"I really thought you were going red!" said Brandt.

"I was!" replied Morris, who now sits on around 26,000,000 chips.
