Blinds being 5K/10K/a1K, it was pretty hard for Lucas Greenwood to hold his own, having a stack that oscillated between 100K and 200K. He found ways to stay afloat, but eventually Lefrançois caught him, calling his 140K open shove from the small blind into his big blind.

The board helped both, but kept Lefrançois ahead:

When handshakes and congratulations were exchanged, Lefrançois and Mark Radoja counted their respective stacks, favoring Lefrançois by only 8K with 1.23M in play. They decided to chop the remaining prize pool in half, keeping the obligatory 8K on the ice for the eventual winner. They also asked the tournament director to double the blinds, which was granted.
Lucas Greenwood goes out in 3rd place of the High Roller Event, taking home $56,000.00 for his achievement.
Congratulations!
