Only the Nuts for Fadi

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Barakeh Fadi opened to 6,500 in late position and Diogo Coelho called in the hijack, the rest of the table folded. Both players checked the J♣10♣3♦ flop and the A♥ came on the turn.

Fadi grabbed his card protector and spun it several times while hiding his face behind shades and sunk deep into his hoodie. He then bet 7,000 and Coelho folded, getting shown the K♣Q♥ for Broadway.

Both players checked to the river on a board of 5♦3♠2♥9♣J♠ when Fournier led out for 3,000. Nolet then raised to 22,000.

Fournier spent a minute in the tank before calling as Nolet showed K♥J♥ for a rivered pair of jacks. "Nice river," Fournier said as he flashed the J♦ before mucking.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

France is poker crazy and has produced some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Bertrand Grospellier and Antoine Saout, so it has been quite the surprise to see the "tricolore" omitted from the PokerStars Team Pro roster over the last few years.

However, at the 2024 European Poker Tour stop in Paris, PokerStars' search for the face for their French expansion finally ended with the latest addition to the team.
