[user22113]

Pascal Perrault

Paul Mendes raised from the small blind to 28,000 and Pascal Perrault moved all in from the big blind. Mendes called immediately.

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

for Perrault.
{A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

for Mendes.

Flop was {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

, putting the Frenchman ahead.

Turn was {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

, giving Mendes the nut straight.

Perrault was left with just three cards in the deck for a split pot. The French crowd shouted for a queen, and sure enough, it came on the river. Pascal Perrault is very lucky to stay in.
