'A Very Good Fold'

Christophe Benzimra
Christophe Benzimra
For the second hand in a row, Christophe Benzimra opened the pot with an early-position raise to 65,000. He took down the pot on the first hand, but he found action from Luca Pagano on the second go-round.

Pagano asked Benzimra for an estimate of his remaining stack, which was right at 500,000 behind. Satisfied by the answer, Pagano stuck in a re-raise to 215,000, enough to fold the table back around to his opponent.

Benzimra leaned back in his chair with a big sigh, then leaned forward again to eye up Pagano's stack. "You have more chips than me, no?"

The answer was a quick, "Yep," from Pagano who had his man well covered.

"I fold," said Benzimra confidently, flipping his {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} face-up in the middle of the table.

"It was a very good fold," said Pagano, passing his two cards in between his hands slowly. He showed up the {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, adding a few more chips to his stack.
