Detournel Can't Pull the Trigger
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Xavier Detournel, who is sporting a garish multicoloured hoodie, opened to 10,000 from middle position and the action passed around the UK's Lucas Reeves in the small blind.
"Can I see you chips?" requested Reeves.
"Ninety-five thousand," informed Detournel before adding, "including these," and pointing to the 10,000 he already had invested in the pot.
With this information, Reeves three-bet to 100,000 and once the big blind folded the action was back on Detournel. Detournel shaped to call — he even had his hand on his tower of chips — but at the last possible moment he just couldn't pull the trigger.
