Charles-Alexandre Sylvestre has maintained a spot amongst the chip leaders throughout the tournament, but he just ended up on the losing end of a huge preflop betting war. Pascal Lefrancois opened to 11,000 from under the gun, and Charles-Alexandre 3bet to 27,000 from the button. Pascal then 4bet to 71,000, which was followed by a 5bet all-in from Charles-Alexandre and a call from Pascal.

The board of brought no help to Charles-Alexandre, who saw 363,000 of his hard-earned chips get shipped over to Pascal. He still holds just over 200,000, good for 40+ big blinds, but Pascal has now taken over the chip lead of this High-Roller event.
