Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Sascha Wilhelm raised to 500,000 and Javier Francort called in this duel of the two chip leaders. On the 7♥7♦6♦ flop, Francort checked before calling a bet of 350,000 and then checked the K♣ on the turn. Wilhelm bet another 650,000 for Francort to call and that led them to the 3♦ on the river.

"I call. Do you have quads?" Francort inquired instantly and Wilhelm nodded, turning over his 8♣8♠7♣7♠.

Francort smacked his K♠K♦Q♥3♣ in disgust on the felt while his Dutch friends on the rail gathered to see what happened. The Omaha specialist was eliminated in 7th place for €18,350 and Wilhelm jumped into a commanding lead.
