Wrang Five-Bet Folds!

Wow, what a hand! We have just see a real stack swinging contest between Jannick Wrang and Balazs Botond.

Botond held the button and he opened to 165,000, Olivier Busquet folded his small blind but Wrang three-bet to 405,000. The action was back on Botond and he raised his eyebrows before reaching for chips and four-betting to 800,000 and a massive pot started to brew.

Wrang then sat riffling some blue 10,000 chips before taking back his 405,000 three-bet and replacing it with a 1,205,000 five-bet! But the betting was not completed yet because Botond six-bet all in for 2,790,000 and amazingly Wrang quickly folded!

Action Dying...

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The action has really slowed down since Fabrice Soulier's double up, there's been little in the way of post-flop betting. Olivier Busquet remains the short stack but Soulier has also dropped some of his chips to both Jannick Wrang and Balazs Botond.

Soulier Doubles Through Busquet

Fabrice Soulier
Fabrice Soulier

Oh dear, today is not going well for Olivier Busquet.

He opened for 160,000 and Fabrice Soulier moved all in from the blinds for about 2,000,000 and Busquet snap-called.

Busquet: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Soulier: {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

The flop was {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Soulier stood up out of his chair, the {2-Spades} on the turn was close but not enough and it looked as though for all intents and purposes as though the Frenchman was out but the {3-Clubs} hit the river to the disbelief of all involved.

Botond Fires Three Barrels

Fabrice Soulier has been reduced to 2,300,000 chips after a clash with the Hungarian pro Balazs Botond.

It was Botond who got the betting underway with a raise to 165,000 from under the gun. It looked like he was going to pick up the substantial blinds and antes until Soulier made the call in the big blind. The dealer fanned out the {4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and Soulier checked his option to bet. Botond made a continuation bet of 175,000 and Soulier called.

The turn brought the {A-Spades} into play and Soulier checked again and Botond bet again, increasing his bet size to 315,000. Despite the increased bet Soulier still called. Our river card was the {10-Clubs} and Soulier tapped the table and checked for a third time but when Botond fired a third barrel, one worth 585,000, Soulier let his hand go.

Busquet Doubles Through Soulier

Olivier Busquet has just been given a reprieve after he hit a three-outer against Fabrice Soulier. Just a couple of hands before the fateful hand Busquet had min-raised on the button and Soulier had folded to him but when Soulier had the button he made it 165,000 then called when Busquet moved all in for 1,370,000.

Busquet: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Soulier: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The door card was the {5-Hearts} and that was followed onto the felt by the {J-Diamonds} and {2-Spades}. The turn was the {7-Spades} followed by the {Q-Diamonds} and Busquet gets a much needed double up.
