Big Roger Makes a Big Fold

Roger Hairabedian -- a.k.a. "Big Roger" -- is a local player here at Casino de Marrakech. He's done well thus far today, gradually building his stack up and over the 90,000-chip mark.

Just now Hairabedian opened with a raise to 3,000, then a relatively short-stacked opponent to his left reraised to 7,400. It folded back around to Hairabedian who made the call.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and Hairabedian led out with a bet of 6,400. His opponent thought for a half-minute, then set his remaining stack out before him -- 17,400 total.

Hairabedian went deep into the tank -- more than three minutes -- then folded his hand face up: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. An interesting fold from Big Roger.

He preserves a stack of 81,000 as we cross the halfway point of the last one-hour level.
