Happy Birthday Slimane!

Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

[Removed:520] was casually chatting with his tablemates when the players around him suddenly broke into a chorus of “Happy Birthday, Slimane!”

Surprised, he turned around to see his children approaching with a plate of fruit with sparkling candles, celebrating his 59th birthday in style.

"You can take my blindes I don't care," he smiled while kissing his family, but quickly sat down as he was in the small blind on 9♥10♦6♦. The big blind bet 9,000, and [Removed:524] check-called.

Both players checked the 5♥ turn, but on the 8♣ river, [Removed:524] led out for 20,000. "Birthday's luck," he joked as the big blind folded 3♦2♦ face up. [Removed:524] scooped the pot and left the table to thank his family again.

Jonathan Nebbout raised to 12,000 from under the gun, Florian Bulliard three-bet to 32,000 from the cutoff, the big blind called and Nebbout also called.

The flop ran out 6♠2♦A♥ and players checked to Bulliard, who made it 36,000 to go. The big blind folded and Nebbout made the call to further inflate the pot.

Action then slowed down as both players checked the 4♣ turn and 6♣ river to take the hand to showdown. Nebbout showed A♣7♣ for a pair of aces, two pair with the sixes on board, which was enough to win him the pot.
