Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After a few eliminations earlier in the day, Roger Tondeur opened to 1,200 from the cutoff, and was called by all the players behind him.

He continued with a bet of 1,500 on a flop of Q♦J♦K♥. But only Rachid Amamou in the small blind called, as Thierry Delpui on the button and Benoit Grobocopatel in the big blind folded.

The Q♣ didn't change anything because both players checked. However, on the river 3♣, Amamou led out for 2,500. He made Tondeur fold and won the pot.
