Level 15
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Moments after winning a big pot from Julien Sitbon, Eric Sfez bet 30,000 on a flop of 6♦7♥8♣ from the hijack and faced a check-raise all-in for 186,000 from Alexandre Landon in middle position. “All-in?” Sfez asked as he put his glasses on. After a quick look at the board, he made the call.
Alexandre Landon: A♠A♥ 
Eric Sfez: 10♦9♦
Sfez flopped a straight to crack Landon’s aces, and the 3♠J♦ runout secured him the pot. “What a rush!” Cédric Chevalme joked. “What rush?” Sfez replied, clearly irritated. “Don’t be angry, as long as you’re eliminating players, I’m happy,” Chevalme added.
