Fournier Takes the Chip Lead

Maxime Taldir

Level 47 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sacha Cohen in the hijack raised to 2,000,000 with Q♥9♦ and faced Samuel Fournier who defended with A♣2♠ from the big blind.

Cohen continued for 1,300,000 on a flop of K♥3♣Q♣ but Fournier check-raised to 4,500,000. Cohen called.

Both players checked the A♥ turn leading to the 3♠ river that they both checked again. Fournier then reveled his two pair and scooped the pot.
