Charbit Continues to Build Monster Stack
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Cedric Ghanassia opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 4,200 from chipleader Jean-Paul Charbit. The small blind cold-called, and Ghanassia also called.
Action was checked to Charbit on the Q♣5♦3♦ flop, who fired out a huge overbet of 225,000. The small blind quickly folded, but Ghanassia, looking perplexed, thought the spot over before moving the rest of his chips, around 65,000, into the middle.
Cedric Ghanassia: K♦Q♥ 
Jean-Paul Charbit: A♥A♦
Ghanassia's top pair queens had run into Charbit's aces, and he was not saved by the J♠ turn and J♦ river, allowing Charbit to claim another scalp and add to his already huge stack.
