After 5 hours of play, Daniel Lefebvre has soared through the ranks to take down Event #9: $780 6-Max. Lefebvre defeated Kim Graham in heads-up play and is no stranger to PPT trophies. He is a high roller aficionado having won 4 of the events in the past 2 years. Currently he joined the fray in the high roller and coverage will move over to that event.
He started the day chip leader with around 500,000. He retained the chip lead at the first break but the gap was narrowing between him and the field. By the next break he had 730,000 and was far ahead of the next closest with 490,000. Lefebvre continued to play aggressive putting other players stacks to the test. Lefebvre eliminated Ron Lauzon in 5th place to regain the chip lead.
He eliminated Duval in third after a turned flush and gained a major lead compared to the remaining stacks with 1,280,000. Continued pressure dwindled Graham’s stack to just over 300,000. Finally, Lefebvre got it all in against Graham with an over pair to Graham’s top pair. It held to give Lefebvre another trophy to add to his title. Stay tuned as the series continues and ramps towards the Main Event.
