Stevens’ Dominance at the Table

Stevens had the largest stack when the final table’s action began and Erik Bakker followed him closely. The former widened his lead after a few minutes.

Bakker became the chip leader briefly before he tried to turn bottom pair into a bluff while facing Giraf’s top two pair. However, Stevens regained the lead and maintained it for over two hours.

He held over 60 percent of the table’s chips when five-handed action kicked off. Ezequiel Kleinman’s run ended in the third position with $1,524,214 leaving Stevens with a 4:1 chip lead over Yagen Li.

Each of the two finalists had secured at least $2 million and was competing for an extra $750,000. Luck wasn’t on Li’s side as he lost many chips to Stevens after a short while.

Surprisingly, he recovered part of his stack fast. Stevens used 6♣6♦ to make a 10,500,000 raise and Li used A♣Q♦ to place a 30,000,000 three-bet. The former put the latter in a tricky position by making him to make a 117,000,000 all-in move.

Li made a quick snap-call and almost got a 2:1 stack lead. However, the K♠3♦K♦4♠5♥ board didn’t help him and he finished second with $2,059,058.
