Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Off only ten big blinds, Edgar Antezana min-raised the Q♥3♥ on the button and Alexandre Blanc called with J♦8♦ from the big blind.

The Q♠8♥3♦ flop brought a quick check back from Antezana, who then bet the 9♠ turn for 500,000 and the 3♠ river for 700,000. Blanc showed some frustration when he slammed his cards on the felt.
