Blanc Doesn't Fire Blanks
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Franco Da Matta made it 250,000 to go with the 9♦8♦ from an early position and was then three-bet to 750,000 by Alexandre Blanc, who had a monster with A♠A♥ in the hijack. Da Matta called to the Q♠J♦3♥ flop but check-folded his gutshot to a bet worth 450,000.
