Sicconi Shows the Bluff

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of J♦4♦6♦, Alice Sicconi on the button bet 2,000, but the small blind check-raised to 5,500.

The big blind folded, but Sicconi put two blue chips worth 5,000 each in front of her to raise again. But as she didn't say anything, this action was considered as a call by the dealer, and the tournament director confirmed this decision.

The 4♥ came on the turn, and the small blind checked. Sicconi took this opportunity to bet 8,000 and make her opponent fold. She didn't wait to reveal 10♣7♣ and scooped the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In the previous hand Nicolas Tytgat and Jean Koja ended up all-in preflop, both from early position, with both holding ace-king and leading to a chopped pot.

Tytgat opened under the gun to 1,600 in the next hand and received calls from Alexandre Dana on the button and Koja in the big blind.

On the 10♥4♠2♥ flop Koja checked and Tytgat slid out a bet of 2,800. Dana folded and Koja called.

The 5♣ rolled off on the turn, and Koja checked once more. Tytgat pondered the position for a moment, before putting out a bet of 9,000.

Koja glanced at his opponent, before he reached for chips and produced a check-raise to 30,000, with Tytgat's cards hitting the muck almost before Koja's chips were in the middle, sending Koja a nice pot.

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♥ All in
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.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alexandre Landron moved all in from under the gun for 8,300 and Kostya Zaks three-bet to 15,000. Aurelie Reard took some time to consider her options before moving all in for around 60,000.

Action folded back to Zaks, who took some time to think the position through before moving the rest of his chips into the middle, around 50,000 in total.

Alexandre Landron: J♠9♠ All in
Kostya Zaks: K♥Q♦ All in
Aurelie Reard: 10♣10♥

Reard's pair of tens were ahead, and remained so after the A♠3♥4♥ flop and 7♦ turn. However the J♥ rolled off on the river to put Landron into the lead with a pair of jacks and hand him a triple up.

Reard had to console herself with winning the more substantial side pot with her pocket tens versus Zaks' king-high, sending him to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aurelie Reard	80,000 28,000	28,000

Alexandre Landron	25,000 25,000	25,000

Around 100,000 was in the middle on a completed board of Q♠A♠J♠K♣2♥ in a hand between Mathieu Rabalison in the big blind and Fabrice Bigot in early position.

Rabalison checked to Bigot, who moved all in for around 55,000. After around five minutes of thought, Rabalison made the call.

Bigot showed 9♠9♥ for a pair of nines, while Rabalison had K♦Q♦ for two pair kings and queens, sending him a huge pot.
