Niveau 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Steven Stolzenfeld open-raised to 3,200,000 from the button and received calls from both other competitors John Taylor and David Guay, in the small and big blind, respectively.

The flop came down 6♣2♣5♣ and the action checked to Stolzenfeld, who continued for a sum of 2,800,000. Taylor folded but Guay came along for a turn. The 10♠ was then checked by both players before the K♦ river fell.

Taylor checked again and Stolzenfeld thought for a bit before putting in another bet. Before the amount could well and good be determined, Guay snap folded and the pot was awarded to Stolzenfeld, who grew his chip lead.

Niveau 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

John Taylor raised his button to 2,500,000 and David Guay folded the small blind. Steven Stolzenfeld then made it 7,400,000 from the big blind and Taylor elected to let his hand go.

The very next hand, it was Guay who opened his button to 2,400,000. Again, Stolzenfeld made it 7,400,000 to go, this time from the small bind. He would win more uncontested chips as Guay also threw his cards into the muck.

One hand later, it was Stolzenfeld's turn to open-raise his button to 2,400,000. The action folded to Guay in the big blind and he opted to go for it all by jamming his stack of 26,575,000 chips in the middle.

"I like to gamble," Stolzenfeled laughed, "I'm a sick f*cking person."

Eventually, though, he folded his cards, noting that he had "rolled low."

Steven Stolzenfeld opened to 2,400,000 on the button and only David Guay came along from the big blind.

The flop fanned out 6♣6♠3♣ and Guay checked to Stolzenfeld who continued for 1,800,000. Guay put in a check-raise to 4,800,000 and Stolzenfeld made the call.

On the J♦ turn both players checked their options to the 6♥ river. Guay pondered for a moment before tossing out a bet of 5,400,000 and Stolzenfeld went in the tank.

After close to a minute, Stolzenfeld tossed in a chip for the call and the hands were shown. Guay tabled 10♠8♠ for the ten-high bluff and Stolzenfeld confidently revealed K♠5♠ for the king-high hero call.

"I can be your hero, baby," sang Stolzenfeld's rail as he collected the pot.

Niveau 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

A few hands after his previous win, Steven Stolzenfeld three-bet John Taylor's button-raise of 2,500,000 to 7,300,000.

Taylor asked how much the three-bet amounted to before jamming all in, covering Stolzenfeld. Stolzenfeld snap called and the cards went on their backs.

Steven Stolzenfeld: A♦10♦
John Taylor: A♠K♥

There was a good chance the tournament would have to be prepared for a heads up battle, but Stolzenfeld paired his ten on the turn when the board ran out 6♣4♣7♠10♣Q♣. His rail cheered while Taylor shrugged his shoulders and paid Stolzenfeld what he was due.

The tables have now turned as Stolzenfeld holds the chip lead while Taylor has the least chips of the three players left.
