It ended up being Jason Lavallee and Ludovic Lacay who battled it out for the EPT Sanremo main event title yesterday. The heads up battle began after the two players agreed a deal - €644,910 to Lacay and €538,089 to Lavallee, with €100,000 and a Slyde watch left to play for. It was set to be a short match. Sure enought, it only took about 40 minutes until a winner had been crowned...
The final hand occurred just a few minutes after Lacay had taken down a 7 million pot with a full house - kings over tens. The flop came down Q
4
T and Lacay led for 175,000. Lavalee raised to 400,000, and called when Lacay 3-betted to 750,000. The turn card was the J
and Lacay fired a 1.4 million bet. Lavallee tanked for a few minutes, then moved his remaining 4,905,000 chips towards the centre of the table. Lacay called almost straight away and turned over QT for top two-pair. Lavallee showed 86 for a flush draw. The river fell T and Lacay had all the chips in play. For the win he received €744,910 and the luxurious Slyde watch!
