Mehdi Chaoui raised to 800 from the button and Rosalie Petit called from the big blind.

The flop was AAK and Petit check-called a 400 bet from Chaoui to see A on the turn.

Petit checked again and Chaoui fired 600, but it was too much for her and she tossed her hand in the muck.

This is the first EPT Monte Carlo for Petit and she already cashed in the FPS Cup earlier in the series.
