Fournier Calls a River Bluff
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Daniyar Aubakirov opened to 100,000 on the button and Samuel Fournier called in the small blind.
Fournier checked on the flop of Q♥K♦Q♣ and Aubakirov checked back. Fournier then bet 80,000 on the 5♥ turn and Aubakirov called.
The 6♦ river completed the board and Fournier bet a hefty 420,000. Aubakirov responded with a small raise to 830,000 to send Fournier into the tank.
"I have aces, my friend," Fournier said as he thought through a decision.
Fournier eventually called as Aubakirov showed a jack-high bluff with J♣10♥. Fournier did indeed have aces as he showed A♥A♦ to win the pot.
