Blanc Doesn't Pay Off Nortje
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marko Nortje opened to 60,000 from under the gun with the 8♠8♣ and Alexandre Blanc called in the big blijnd with 7♥5♥.
On the 6♦5♣3♠ flop, Blanc led for 55,000 and Nortje called to do so again for 65,000 on the 7♠ turn.
The river brought the 4♠ with the straight on the board. Blanc checked and Nortje fired a large bet of 550,000 for more than the pot. Blanc found the fold and Nortje only received a small profit in the hand.
