Lellouche Lighting it Up

Antony Lellouche opened to 6,200, and Carter Phillips bumped it up to 17,500. When it came back to Lellouche, he four-bet to 59,700, leaving himself 51,000 in the well. Phillips eyed up that stack before shoving out a covering stack of yellow chips. Lellouche called for his tournament life.

The board would come safe for the French pro as it ran {9-Spades}

. After starting the day with less than 70,000, Lellouche has now worked his count to about 225,000 courtesy of that big double up.

"If I had known you only started the hand with that much," lamented Phillips, "I would have just shoved instead of three-betting." Either way, his stack has taken a big hit back under 250,000.
