William Picot Finds His Place

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Coming into the day, William Picot was nowhere to be found in the chip counts after being a "Did Not Report" from Day 1. However, Picot has found his place at the top of the leaderboard recently and is looking to become a name nobody soon forgets.

Picot just called a preflop raise from late position, then an opponent three-bet jammed all in for 220,000 from the blinds. The action was folded back to Picot, who called and was way ahead of his opponent with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} versus {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Picot eliminated his opponent which brought his stack near the 700,000-chip mark. With just over two levels remaining, Picot's aim now is to be at the top of the chip counts when the day concludes.
