Action was picked up on a flop of J♠7♥9♠ with 30,000 in the middle. Idir Haiche was already all in from late position, and a dry sidepot was contested between small blind Truquens and Goulpinte on the button.
Truquens led out for 12,000, and called when his opponent clicked it back to 25,000. He then check-called a bet of 27,000 on the 5♣ turn, bringing in the 3♠ river. Here, Truquens pushed his full stack of 134,000 forward, covering his opponent's 85,000. Goulpinte thought for a moment before folding.
Truquens showed 10♣9♣ and scooped the side pot, shrugging his shoulders at Goulpinte in the process.
Haiche wagged his finger at Truquens, indicating that the main pot was his. "It's fine for me," said Truquens, as Haiche tabled A♣A♠ for his survival.
"Did you fold a jack?" he asked Goulpinte. Goulpinte nodded.
