Pontin Flops Two Pair to Take the Chip Lead
Level 49
: Blinds 700,000/1,400,000, 1,400,000 ante
Etienne De Soultrait in the small blind raised to 4,200,000 and Mathieu Pontin defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥J♠4♥ which was checked by De Soultrait. Pontin bet 4,000,000 but De Soultrait check-raised all-in. Pontin snap-called to be at risk for 22,200,000.
Mathieu Pontin: J♥10♣
Etienne De Soultrait: 9♥6♥
De Soultrait jammed with a flush draw but Pontin called with two pair. The A♠ turn and the K♣ river kept the situation unchanged and Pontin doubled up.
