Billard the Hero

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

We found Francois Billard in the big blind facing an all-in bet of 17,000 effective from his neighbor on the right. There was about 26,000 in the pot and a completed board of {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} sat on the felt. After agonizing for a bit, Billard dropped in his stack.

The small blind moved to muck after he said it was a good call and Billard went to do likewise. However, per tournament rules, the dealer instructed the hands to be shown, and Billard's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} won against {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

Juan Pardo three-bet to 3,100 against an early opener and they went heads up to an {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. Pardo bet 1,500 and his opponent quickly called. On the {a-Spades} turn and {10-Clubs} river, action checked through and Pardo took the pot with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for turned aces up.

Feenstra Takes a Nice Pot

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

A preflop raising war saw Rens Feenstra on the button and a big blind opponent each put in 4,500, though we didn't see who made the last raise. On the {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop, action was short as the big blind simply checked and folded to Feenstra's bet of 4,000.
