Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Justin Pechie

Justin Pechie called from the small blind and Maxime Parys checked.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Pechie bet 650,000. Parys raised to 2,000,000 and Pechie called.

With 5,500,000 in the middle, the turn came the {5-Diamonds} and Pechie checked it over to Parys after about 30 seconds. Parys bet 3,000,000 and Pechie shoved for his remaining 12,400,000. Parys puffed out his cheeks upon the all-in and eventually called, leaving just 1,625,000 behind.

Justin Pechie: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}
Maxime Parys: {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Pechie had the nut straight against Parys' flopped two pair.

With 30,300,000 in the pot and Parys drawing to just four outs, the all-important river came the {k-Diamonds} to give Pechie a massive chip lead.

Parys, meanwhile, was left with just a little over three blinds.

Parys Stays Alive With a Double Up

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Maxime Parys
Maxime Parys

Justin Pechie raised to 1,000,000 on the button and Maxime Parys jammed the rest of his chips in to try for the double up after a monster loss to Pechie just a few hands earlier.

Justin Pechie: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Maxime Parys: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop ran out {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} giving both top pair but the {q-Diamonds} turn and {8-Diamonds} river did not help Pechie for a second pair or a chop and Parys got his double up.

Second-placed Samuel Bifarella moved all in for 9,050,000 and chip leader Justin Pechie went into the tank for nearly four minutes.

Maxime Parys anxiously awaited Pechie's decision, one that could have given him a ladder of over $61,000 if Pechie won.

Eventually, Pechie tossed his cards into the muck.
