Busquet Extends Lead With Massive Bluff

Olivier Busquet has just shown why many have placed him as a firm favourite to walk away with the title here at EPT Campione.

We joined the action on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop with Balazs Botond in the small blind and Busquet in the big blind. Botand lead into Busquet with a 110,000 bet only to see Busquet make it 330,000 to play. Botond sat studying the board for almost 90 seconds before he put in a raise of his own, this one to 660,000. Amazingly that was not the end of the betting because Busquet responded by making it 1,200,000 to play!

The reason we said "amazingly" is because Botond reluctantly folded and was shown {A-Spades}{9-Spades} from Busquet, who now has more than 5,000,000 chips.

Nagel Gets the Four-Bet Shove Through

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Olivier Busquet raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Koen De Visscher made it 175,000 on the button before Mario Nagel then moved all in from the small blind for about 1.6 million. Busquet and De Visscher both quickly folded.

Soulier Bluffs and Gets There

A very rare five-way pot with only Koen De Visscher not getting involved. The {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop was checked to button Balazs Botond who bet 240,000 and it was folded back to Fabrice Soulier who check-raised to 600,000 and the Hungarian quickly called to see the {10-Clubs} turn.

Both players then checked this card to see the {Q-Diamonds} river where Soulier bet 700,000 and Botond instantly called. The Frenchman turned over {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} for a bluff that had got there to take the pot.

Nagel Shoves Again

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mario Nagel has just got his stack into the middle once again with another four-bet. He opened to 105,000 and Jannick Wrang three-bet to 255,000. Going on past hands this would usually be the end of the betting but Nagel four-bet all in for 1,855,000 in total and that was enough to fold out his Danish opponent.
