Picking On The Shorty

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Yorane Kerignard is currently the short stack at the table and the Frenchman has played very few hands.

When it folded to chip leader Paul Guichard in the small blind with Kerignard in the big, it was no surprise to see him push all in.

Putting Kerignard to a decision for all his chips makes sense because he knows he can only call on the off chance he happened to have picked up a a premium hand. And, even if he had, Guichard could definitely afford to double him up.

In the end, Kerignard folded.

Guichard's Call With Ace High is Good

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Guichard raised to 200,000 on the button and Bruno Jais called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Both checked to see the {2-Diamonds} turn where Jais bet 250,000. Guichard called with the {8-Spades} following on the river. Jais bet 320,000 and after a few moments, Guichard called.

Jais was heistant to show his {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}, while Guichard was happy to show {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for ace high to win the pot.

Rogez Shoves

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Guichard raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Olivier Rogez defended his big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Rogez check-called 280,000 from Guichard. The {K-Diamonds} followed on the turn and Rogez bet 285,000. A call from Guichard landed the {2-Hearts} on the river where Rogez shoved for 1,300,000. Guichard gave it some thought, but ultimately folded.

C-Betting His Way Along

Vuong Than Trong is gathering chips without having to showdown much. He took down two pots out of three, both with c-bets.

First up he opened to 250,000 from the small blind and Vadzim Kursevich tank called from the big blind. The flop came down {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and his 280,000 did the job as Kursevich folded.

Two hands later he three-bet to 480,000 after an open to 200,000 from Olivier Rogez. Rogez called but check-folded to a 480,000 bet on the {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop.
