"We Have a New Millionaire"; Montois Scoops a Monster on Fkih
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
At Gerard Carbo's table, Ali Fkih bet 55,000 from the small blind on a flop of 6♦3♦6♠ before Julien Montois raised to 135,000 on the button.
Fkih then reraised to 235,000, Montois moved all in, and Fkih snap-called for his last 200,000.
Ali Fkih: 9♦9♠
Julien Montois: 10♣10♥
Both players had overpairs, but Montois was ahead with his tens as they awaited the turn and river. The board came 6♥3♥ and Montois gave a big fist pump as he walked away from the table, while Fkih could only lower his head before handing over the rest of his chips.
"We have a new millionaire," tablemate Mekan Yusupov said.
