Groppi and Abida Win Big Pots

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A hand that could have went far more ballistic saw Ali Mechiche open and then just call a three-bet by Abdenbi Abida from one seat over. The board ran out {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Mechiche's kings ended up second best to the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} of Abida. Even Fahd was impressed that Mechiche had not gone broke in the spot.

Then, Henrique Pinho opened from early position and [Removed:215] in the small blind as well as Mathieu Papineau in the big blind called. On the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop all three players checked. The {2-Clubs} turn saw Groppi check-raise to 250,000 and Papineau, who had bet 80,000, flat-called while Pinho folded.

On the {7-Diamonds} river, Groppi made it 350,000 to go for most of the stack of Papineau and the latter folded after a staring contest of the two players with headphones next to each other. Papineau revealed his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for two pair and was shown {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a successful bluff by Groppi.
