Auzoux Bubbles the 2025 Merit Poker Western Series $5,300 High Roller
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Gregoire Auzoux raised to 50,000 under the gun and Maher Achour three-bet the small blind to 200,000. Auzoux instantly shoved for 705,000 and Achour snap-called.
Gregoire Auzoux: 10♠10♥ 
Maher Achour: K♣K♦
Achour had just one big blind more than Auzoux and if his Cowboys could hold up, he would eliminate the overnight chip leader and send the remaining players into the money.
The flop of A♥2♥2♠ didn't change anything and Achour was still ahead with his pocket kings. The A♠ turn meant only a ten on the river would keep the tournament on the bubble. The river was the J♦ and the remaining players had all made the money.
