Maxime Gathers Momentum

Maxime Villemure
Maxime Villemure
Maxime Villemure has been very active recently and taken down a couple of big pots uncontested.

In the first hand he put a sick move on Stig Top Rasmussen, which certainly stirred up the big Dane. Villemure opened the action with a raise from the cutoff, and Rasmussen re-raised from the big blind sensing a steal attempt making it 40,000 more to go. Villemure then 4-bet, adding an additional 69,000 into the pot. A disgruntled Rasmussen folded and Villemure amazingly flashed {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}!

A few hands later Villemure fired two big bets on the turn and river into Eric Liu on a board of {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Liu went into the tank before eventually finding a fold as Villemure collected a pot worth in excess of 250,000 chips to add to his blossoming stack!
