Neuville Makes His Stand

Pierre Neuville opened to 33,000, and Jan Skampa made a re-raise to 86,000 from the small blind. When it came back to Neuville, he cut the call out of his stack and shuffled the chips before announcing an all in for 331,000 total. Skampa quickly called.

Showdown
Neuville: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Skampa: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The flop was clean for Neuville as it came {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}. The {6-Spades} that hit the turn was a bit of a sweat, giving Skampa a shot at the flush for the knockout. But the river kept Neuville safe; the {9-Diamonds} completed the board to send the pot over to the Belgian pro.

After that big double, Neuville is quite healthy with 680,000. He's now right behind Skampa and his stack of 705,000.
