Petit Busts Opponent

Justin Bonomo opened to 2,000 from the cutoff, a second player three-bet to 5,500 on the button, and Thomas Petit cold four-bet to 12,600 from the small blind. Bonomo quickly folded, and the player on the button tanked a bit before moving all in.

Petit's eyes grew, and he checked his cards one last time before calling and tabling two black aces. His opponent sighed and turned over two queens.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and Petit now has 90,000 chips.

Yaiche Cracks Jaka's Aces

When we arrived at the table, the board read {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}. {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} was laying in front of Basil Yaiche, and Faraz Jaka was cutting out stacks of chips.

Tablemate Jason Mercier was kind enough to fill us in on the details of the hand, and it all started with a min-raise from Mercier. Yaiche called on his left, Jaka three-bet to 7,200, and the action folded back to Yaiche who four-bet to 14,400. Jaka moved all in, Yaiche snapped it off, and Jaka tabled two aces.

The rest is history.

Yaiche, who started the day as one of the leaders, is back above six-figures, while Jaka has just over 11 big blinds.

Massive Pot Busts Zakhary, Damages Enjoubault's Stack, and Puts Cardyn Among Leaders

It all started when Franck Kalfon opened to 1,800 form early position. Sami Zakhary moved all in for 5,500 from middle position, Jacques Enjoubault quickly called in middle position, and Nicolas Cardyn cold four-bet to 14,000 on the button. Kalfon released, and without hesitation, Enjoubault called.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and Enjoubault fired 22,000. Cardyn went into the tank, then moved all in for 73,1000. Enjoubault snapped it off, and all three hands were tabled.

Zakhary{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Enjoubault{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Cardyn{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Cardyn faded a flush, a five, and an eight on the turn ({9-Spades}), and the river ({2-Diamonds}), shipping a massive pot to put him among the chip leaders. Enjoubault took a serious hit, and Zakhary hit the rail.
