Bad Day for Big Slick

It was a tough decision for Jean-Paul Pasqualini.

Julien Arneodo in middle position had open-raised all in, then it folded to Peuriere Christophe on the button who had reraised all in for approximately 22,000. It folded to Pasqualini in the big blind -- with only a little more left in his stack than Christophe's raise -- who thought for some time before finally folding his {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} face up.

Christophe tabled his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Arneodo liked his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} somewhat less after seeing what Pasqualini had folded. The board came {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, giving Christophe a needless set on the end and eliminating Arneodo.

Pasqualini stays alive with 23,500, while Christophe bounces up over the 50,000-chip mark.
