Chiba Wins Flop Game of Chicken
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
A pot of 80,000 had developed by the 9♠6♥4♥ flop, in a hand between Helene Favier on the button and Jean-Marc Chiba in the big blind.
Chiba fired out a bet of 26,000, and Favier responded with a raise to 55,000.
Chiba took quite a bit of time for thought before three-betting to 92,000. Favier, who had around 140,000 behind, locked eyes on Chiba as soon as the raising chips hit the middle.
She fixed her stare there for a good 90 seconds, before ultimately deciding to send her cards to the muck.
