Rinse and Repeat; Karlsson Doubles Twice!

Level 40 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Will "hellzito" Arruda limped in from the small blind and Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois checked his option from the big blind.

Arruda min-bet the {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop and called a raise to 2.2 million, the Brazilian then check-called a bet of 4.41 million on the {3-Clubs} turn. The {k-Hearts} river was checked and Arruda tabled {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a full house to jump to nearly 32 million in chips.

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson then open-shoved the button and Will "hellzito" Arruda looked him up from the small blind.

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Will "hellzito" Arruda: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

On a board of {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Karlsson turned a king.

Lefrancois adjusted his strategy and open-shoved once again in quick succession from the button. This time it was for more than 22.1 million effective as Karlsson called in the small blind, Arruda forfeited his big blind.

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

One trey was not enough on the {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board and Karlsson doubled to nearly close the gap to Lefrancois.

Arruda Short Once More

Level 40 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

In a limped pot, Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois checked the {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and called a min-bet by Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson to then check-call another 2.66 million on the {j-Diamonds} turn. They checked the {6-Clubs} on the river and Lefrancois tabled {7-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a full house.

Two Hands later, Will "hellzito" Arruda limped the small blind and called a raise to 2.24 million by Lefrancois. The Brazilian check-called bets of 1.195 million on the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and 3.6 million on the {6-Diamonds} turn. He then checked the {5-Hearts} river and used a big portion of his time bank to fold when Lefrancois emptied the clip with a jam.

Level 40 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Down to around 10 big blinds, Will "hellzito Arruda jammed the button and was called by Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois in the small blind. Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson jammed for more than 40 million in the big blind and Lefrancois folded.

Will "hellzito" Arruda: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The dominated ace found no help or chop on a board of {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} to end Arruda's run in third place for $230,229.63. Heads-up will commence with near even stacks for Lefrancois and Karlsson.

Lefrancois Chips Up; Suffers One Setback

Level 40 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson raised to 2 million on the button and Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois called in the big blind. They checked the {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Lefrancois bet the {6-Clubs} turn for 1.26 million to pick up a call.

Lefrancois also bet the {10-Diamonds} river for 2.016 million and Karlsson came along to muck when being shown {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Lefrancois won the next four pots in a row while Karlsson claimed one hand preflop.

The Swede then raised to 2 million and this time Lefrancois three-bet to 6.8 million, which Karlsson called after some consideration. On a {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Lefrancois checked and gave up the pot when facing a bet of 4.83 million.

Three-Bet Pot to Lefrancois

Level 40 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

A series of smaller pots changed nothing whatsoever and Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois then raised to 2 million on the button. Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson three-bet to 6.8 million and Lefrancois called.

The {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and {j-Hearts} turn were checked and Karlsson check-folded the {9-Clubs} on the river when Lefrancois made it 8.28 million to go.

Two hands later, the very same open-raise and three-bet action led to a checked down {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and {8-Diamonds} turn. The {k-Hearts} river was checked and Karlsson's {a-Hearts}{6-Spades} rivered a chop versus the dominating {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} of Lefrancois.

Karlsson Takes the Lead

Level 41 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson raised to 2.5 million and called a three-bet to 8.5 million by Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois. They checked the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and Lefrancois check-called a bet of 8.625 million on the {6-Diamonds} turn.

The {6-Hearts} on the river was checked and Lefrancois tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} but Karlsson had {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the superior two pair. It was the first time in what feels like an eternity that Lefrancois conceded the chip lead.

Back and Forth In Heads-Up

Level 41 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

An adjustment in the raise and three-bet sizings saw Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois with an open to 2.15 million and Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson three-bet to 6.7 million, which Lefrancois called.

The {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop was checked and Karlsson's delayed continuation bet on the {a-Clubs} turn for 4,777,500 was called by Lefrancois. Karlsson then jammed the {10-Clubs} on the river for more than 23.6 million and Lefrancois invested a few precious time bank seconds before conceding the pot.

On the next button, Lefrancois raised to 2.5 million and Karlsson called. The {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop brought no betting action and Karlsson check-called 2.1 million on the {a-Diamonds} turn. The {8-Hearts} river killed the action and Karlsson dragged in the pot with {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} to get within two big blinds of Lefrancois.

Some of the profit of Karlsson vanished the next hand when Lefrancois check-called the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, they checked the {j-Hearts} turn and Lefrancois' bet of 6.216 million on the {2-Clubs} river was called. Lefrancois tabled {k-Spades}{5-Spades} to pull back ahead.
