Schumacher Picks Off Trattou; Vardanian Checks an Ace in Massive Pot

Heads-up in a blind versus blind pot, Mario Trattou led out for 15,000 on the 6♠3♠4♥ flop and Yannick Schumacher raised to 65,000.

Trattou called to see the 7♦ turn, where Schumacher bet another 55,000. Trattou again called and the K♥ fell on the river.

Trattou then fired out 90,000 and Schumacher burned through several time banks before calling. Trattou turned over 9♥8♥ for a missed straight draw, while Schumacher took the pot with 10♥7♠ for a pair of sevens.

At another table, Aleksandr Faterin, Ricardo Tannoury, and Timur Vardanian built a pot of around 380,000 heading to the turn on a board of 10♠2♦A♣4♥.

Vardanian then bet 85,000 from the button and Faterin called under the gun, while Tannoury folded in middle position. The river came the 7♣ and Faterin checked over to Vardanian, who this time checked behind.

Faterin showed K♣Q♥, but Vardanian had A♦J♠ for a pair of aces as he shot out of his seat and let out a big fist pump as the massive pot was pushed in his direction.
