Following 14 levels of play, there are 27 players remaining in the Finale, and Philippe D’auteuil has maintained his chip lead. But with players such as Chance Kornuth, Jonathan Duhamel, Jeff Gross, Shaan Siddiqui, Victor Ramdin and Darren Elias still in the field his lead is far from safe.

We are seeing poker at the highest level on display in the MILLIONS Finale.

Three, four, and even five-bets have become a regular occurrence as we near the end of level 14 on Day 2. With the blinds at 25/50K, Timothy Reilly opened the action to 125K before Jonathan Duhamel, immediately to his left, raised the stakes to 355K. Arkadiy Tsinis, on the button, then put out a four-bet to 850K. Reilly got out of the way, and Duhamel came over the top with a raise to 1.475M. Tsinis went deep into the tank before finally making the fold after a few minutes of deliberation. And just like that Duhamel added a million in chips to his stack.

Big Blind: 40K

Jeff Gross raised to 75K from the under-the-gun position and the action was folded all the way to François Billard in the big blind. Billard raised it strong, and Gross was facing a 245K bet. He did not call it, but simply put out a big stack of 100K chips. Billard announced all-in, in case the stack did not cover him, and they went to a strong showdown:

Billard:
Gross:

Board:

The effective all-in was 1,225,000 chips. Gross hits 2.5M.
