Pinault Talked Into Huge Hero Call

Level 32 : Blinds 30,000/70,000, 70,000 ante
Valentin Pinault
Valentin Pinault

The player under the gun raised, Valentin Pinault three-bet to 320,000 from the hijack and Luigi Macaluso cold four-bet to 1,000,000, from the button. The original raiser folded and Pinault called.

Pinault checked at the sight of the K♦2♥8♥ flop. Macaluso moved all in, instantly, for Pinault's effective stack of 1,100,000 and Pinault went deep into the tank.

Unfortunately, one-half of the PokerNews team cannot speak French, so the nearly seven minutes of table talk exchanged between Macaluso and Pinault was missed. As translated later by a neutral player at the table, Pinault was reported to have said "Either I bust or I have four million chips", without showing concern for laddering. Pinault made the call.

Valentin Pinault: J♥J♣ All in
Luigi Macaluso: A♦A♥

The turn and river fell the 6♣ and Q♠ respectively and Pinault was sent to the rail in this huge pot.
