Christopher Franco started the Event 63 final table with over 3,000,000 chips but has lost one-third of his stack in the opening level of the final table. Franco doubled up Weiyi Mo earlier and then recently lost a pot to Kristy Arnett.
Arnett opened to 115,000 under the gun and Franco defended his big blind. Franco check-called for 125,000 on the K♦Q♥J♠ flop and then the two players checked down the J♣ turn and K♠ river. Franco showed Q♦3♦ but that was no good against Arnett’s A♦A♣.
Arnett has chipped up to 1,800,000 since the final table started and Franco’s 2,200,000 leads but the whole table is about to get collectively shorter as the blinds go up.
