Two Pots for Trattou

Fabrice Bigot opened to 35,000 on the button and Mario Trattou defended his big blind.

Trattou check-called for 25,000 on the A♦7♣4♠ flop before the 6♠ turn checked through to the 3♠ river. Trattou bet 75,000 and Bigot quickly called. Trattou had a straight with his 6♥5♠ and Bigot mucked.

The following hand, Timur Vardanian opened to 30,000 from early position. Bigot called from the cutoff and Alessandro Minasi did the same from the button. Trattou then jammed for 445,000 from the small blind which folded out his opponents.

Trattou has enjoyed quite the return to live poker over the last few months after disappearing from the scene for the best part of eight years.

The COVID pandemic reignited his passion for the game having started playing online poker once again and has recently reentered the live poker streets.

Trattou booked the biggest win of his live career earlier this month, having won a €3,000 buy-in event in Malta for €93,000.
