Outcome

With the blinds at 4,000-8,000 and a 1,000 ante, Lellouche raised to 18,000, Prescott reraised to 52,000 from the button, Lellouche pushed all in, Prescott called.

Analysis

With the average stack at 527,000 as this hand commenced, Lellouche might have felt lean, but he still held 25 big blinds in his stack after Prescott reraised his opening bet. It is unknown if Prescott exhibited a loose and aggressive table image up to this point. Presumably Lellouche's below-average stack or Prescott's table image inspired Lellouche to commit the remainder of his stack on king high, where other player's might have opted for a better spot. Lellouche flopped a king, appearing to win the race as the dealer spread the flop. Lellouch had to fade just two outs after the turn, but the river spiked Prescott's brutal two-outer, eliminating Lellouch in 416th for $31,647. Prescott went on to finish in 348th, earning $36,463.
