Albert Fold Dismays Gerbain
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Thibaut Gerbain opened to 2,300 from the cutoff, and Valentin Albert called on the button.
On the Q♦10♠9♦ flop, Gerbain check-called in the face of a bet of 2,100 from Albert.
The same pattern followed on the 9♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 8,000 from Albert.
The 10♦ river led to a double-paired board, and Gerbain checked once more. Albert slid out a bet of 20,000, and Gerbain check-jammed for around 48,000.
Albert folded quickly enough, flashing the Q♣, and although it was in French beyond the level of this reporter, it appeared likely Gerbain was lamenting his opponent's decision as he discussed the hand with his opponent, although he did not show.
