Guichard's Call With Ace High is Good

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Guichard raised to 200,000 on the button and Bruno Jais called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Both checked to see the {2-Diamonds} turn where Jais bet 250,000. Guichard called with the {8-Spades} following on the river. Jais bet 320,000 and after a few moments, Guichard called.

Jais was heistant to show his {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}, while Guichard was happy to show {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for ace high to win the pot.

Picking On The Shorty

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Yorane Kerignard is currently the short stack at the table and the Frenchman has played very few hands.

When it folded to chip leader Paul Guichard in the small blind with Kerignard in the big, it was no surprise to see him push all in.

Putting Kerignard to a decision for all his chips makes sense because he knows he can only call on the off chance he happened to have picked up a a premium hand. And, even if he had, Guichard could definitely afford to double him up.

In the end, Kerignard folded.

Level: 31

Blinds: 60,000/120,000

Ante: 10,000

Kerignard Doubles

Holding less than seven big blinds, Yorane Kerignard shoved the small blind with {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Bruno Jais made the easy call on {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades} took away Kerignard's king outs and he seemed out of hope after the {2-Hearts} turn.

Needing a six to stay alive, the river came the {6-Diamonds} and Kerignard moved back up to 12 big blinds.

Vuong Than Trong and Vadzim Kurzevich

Vuong Than Trong raised to 240,000 on the button and Vadzim Kursecich popped it to 675,000 in the small blind. Paul Guichard gave up his big blind, Than Trong called, and a {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop came down.

Kursevich bet 450,000, but was unable to shake Than Trong who called to see the {K-Hearts} hit the turn. Kursevich doubled his previous bet with 900,000 this time around. Than Trong thought for about a minute before giving it up.

Kursevich shoved {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for air as he collected the chips.

Kursevich Continues Climbing

Vadzim Kursevich made it 250k pre-flop, getting one caller in Olivier Rogez.
