But the 3 ♣ on the river was a blank, and with 38,000,000 in the pot, Lichtenberger checked one more time before releasing his hand - the best hand - to an all in wager of 21,000,000 chips.
Still, he bet 8,000,000 and again received a call. When the 9 ♦ hit on the turn, it was bad news for Sepiol because he only had 29,000,000 behind and his opponent picked up a flush draw. On a flop of 4 ♠ 3 ♥ 3 ♦, Lichtenberger checked and then called a bet of 3,500,000, about one-fourth the size of the pot. Sepiol three-bet preflop with K ♥ 10 ♥ in position against 'Lucky Chewy' who had A ♦ 10 ♦. But the shorty pulled off the bluff of the tournament against the big stack early in the day. When play began Lichtenberger had a sizable chip lead and Sepiol was among the short stacks. Final Table First Half Action Ben Heath at the WPT World Championship final table
