Tondeur Busts Albertini

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Roger Tondeur
Roger Tondeur

After a raise from Roger Tondeur on the button, Stephane Albertini three-bet to 11,800 in the blinds and it came back to Tondeur who called.

All the chips went in the middle on the flop {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, when Albertini shoved for 32,000 and Tondeur quickly called:

Stephane Albertini: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Roger Tondeur: {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The {4-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and Albertini still had hopes for a double up, but a {a-Spades} hit the river, giving the straight to Tondeur who climbed to a stack over 100,000 chips.

Rosalie Petit

The action folded to Rosalie Petit in the cutoff who bet 2,000. Alan Goasdoue, in the big blind, made a three-bet and Petit responded by shoving for a total stack worth 29,700.

After some consideration, Goasdoue ended up calling for the following showdown:

Rosalie Petit: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Alan Goasdoue: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Petit had the dominating hand and didn't find any bad surprise throughout the board {10-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to double her stack while Goasdoue was left with 9,800 chips left.
