William Liang opened to 52,000 from early position and Thijs Menco (pictured above) flat-called in middle position before Alescha Lechner three-bet all in for 255,000. Liang folded and Menco tanked. Lechner eventually called the clock and as the seconds ticked down Menco called.

“Good call,” said Lechner showing Heart AHeart 9. Menco turned over Spade 8Heart 8 and was ahead, for now.

The flop came Heart JSpade ADiamond Q giving Lechner the lead. The turn Heart 10 and river Diamond 6 didn’t help Menco and he handed over some chips to Lechner who now sits on over 500,000. Menco now has around 400,000 in front of him.
