Pinville Cracks Aces to Bust Chaouki
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
An early position player opened to 1,100 and Rachid Chaouki three-bet to 3,000 in middle position. Michel Pinville cold-called on the button and the big blind also called, while the initial raiser folded.
The big blind led out for 6,900 on the 
flop and Chaouki raised to 16,500. Pinville quickly three-bet to 31,000 and the big blind folded just as quickly, while Chaouki agonized over his decision before calling off.
Rachid Chaouki: 
Michel Pinville: 
Pinville had flopped a set to have Chaouki drawing to just two outs with his aces as the board finished out 
to mark Chaouki's elimination.
