Chanas Takes Chunky Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
A pot of around 70,000 had developed by the river on a board of A♠8♠J♣5♥10♥, in a hand between Herve Ponthet in the big blind and Julien Chanas in early position.
Ponthet checked to Chanas, who fired out a bet of 90,000, covering Ponthet's remaining stack of 65,000.
Ponthet looked pained, and ultimately sent his hand to the muck, moving Chanas to the 400,000 mark.
