Olivier Bousquet Pads His Stack

We caught this hand in progress after Olivier Bousquet called a flop bet by Danny Illingsworth on a board of {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and Illingsworth fired another 115,000 when the {A-Spades} landed on the river. Bousquet made the call and Illingsworth announced, "Nine high," which wasn't enough to beat Bousquet's pocket 5s.
