"Can I Speak French?"
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On the secondary table, Samuel Fournier in the hijack opened to 40,000. He received a call by Mehdi Chaoui, who was in the big blind.
Chaoui checked on the flop 3♠10♦8♦ and Fournier decided to check back to find the 6♣ on the turn, where he bet 40,000. Chaoui check-called and saw the 6♠ land on the river.
After Chaoui checked, Fournier bet an extra 45,000. Chaoui seemed to be in a tough spot, as he utilized a few time banks to make a decision. "Can I speak French?" he asked to get information from Fournier. "No," answered the dealer. A few seconds later, Chaoui folded.
