Jeckeln Wins One; Another Pot for Trudeau

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Artem Metalidi raised to 350,000 first to act and Andres Jeckeln called in the hijack, as did Sylvain Loosli in the big blind. The flop of {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and the {10-Spades} turn were checked through. On the {Q-Clubs} river, action checked to Labat and his bet of 500,000 forced two folds.

One hand later, Jeff Trudeau raised to 325,000 and Antoine Labat called in the hijack, as did Loosli and Metalidi in the blinds. A flop of {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} was checked to Trudeau and he made it 575,000 to go. Only Loosli called, then checked again the {7-Spades} turn. Trudeau bet 1,300,000 and that ended the hand right there.
