Big Stacks Collide

On the feature table the action was folded around to Oyvind Riisem in the small blind who raised the big blind of Maxime Villemure. Not one to give up his blinds without a fight, Villemure re-raised making it 85,000 to go.

Villemure hoped to take down the pot right there but Riisem decided to 4-bet, adding another 200,000 into the middle as a huge pot was developing.

Villemure, who has been playing very solidly all tournament, went into the tank for a long time before eventually laying down his hand to avoid a clash with his fellow big stack.
