Givens' Main Event Comes to an End
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In the previous hand, Will Givens had lost nearly all his chips in an all-in clash that has left him with a mere 21,000. The following hand, Marco Slacanoc raised to 25,000 in early position, Givens called all in, and Pierre Mothes called in late position.
Slacanac bet 30,000 on the 
flop and Mothes called to build up the side pot as well. Slacanac bet 75,000 on the 
turn and Mothes spent ages in the tank. The floor was called for time, but as soon as the timer started Mothes put in a raise. Slacanac quickly open-folded 
Will Givens: 
Pierre Mothes: 
Givens was drawing dead, making the 
river a mere formality, and he finished in 76th place for �15,074.
