Quignard Out, Hemmert Wins a Big One

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pierre-Antoine Quignard opened for 1,600 under the gun and Nicolas Plantin three-bet from the next seat to 4,000.

In the small blind, Udo Hemmert just called and Quignard shoved for 13,600. Both Plantin and Hemmert called.

On the flop {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Plantin bet 6,500, Hemmert check called. He faced a second bet of 16,000 on the turn {7-Clubs} and check called again. On the river {10-Spades}, Hemmert took the lead with a 23,000 bet, almost all his stack.

Plantin thought for a while before letting down his hand. Hemmert showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a straight and eliminated Quignard who held Aces.

Hugues Mazerolle

Only 5 tables are in action while the rest of the field is in dinner break.

In a three-way pot, with around 15,000 chips in the middle, the board showed {3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Udo Hemmert bet 12,000 in the small blind. Hugues Mazerolle in the big blind called and David Foucault folded.

Hemmert mucked his cards and Mazerolle took the pot without showdown to climb to 50,000.
