Nakache Shoves River and Takes Down Large Pot
Action was on the flop on a board of 5♥J♣9♥ and Cezar Mihau Brad bet out for 6,000. Both Elie Nakache and Patrick Vigouret made the call.
The turn was the Q♥ and play checked to Nakache, who bet 8,000. Vigouret called and Brad folded. The river was the 4♣. Vigouret checked and Nakache moved all in for 52,000.
Vigouret asked for the count and then went into the tank, staring across at his opponent, then leaning back in his chair, deliberating over a decision that could cost him his tournament life. Eventually, he made the fold and Nakache smiled and scooped a significant sized pot.
