Guinand Cracks Aces in 1.2 Million Chip Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The biggest hand of the festival just transpired in the dying embers of Day 1c, with two chip leaders clashing.
Sebastien Guinand opened to 5,000 from under the gun and called when Patrick Bornicke three-bet to 14,000.
Guinand check-raised to 50,000 over a bet of 15,000 on the J♠5♣4♥ flop, and Bornicke called as the tension started to brew.
Guinand fired out another 100,000 on the 7♦ turn and snap-called when Bornicke jammed for around 540,000. Guinand had Bornicke covered by a few chips.
Patrick Bornicke: A♥A♣
Sebastien Guinand: J♥J♣
Guinand's top set was ahead of the aces and the 3♥ river guaranteed the Frenchman a seven-figure stack heading into Day 2.
