Periaux Folds Kings Face Up
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
All other action at every other table was completed and the eyes of the room turned to Ludovic Periaux who had been in the tank for quite some time. He had raised to 17,000 from the cutoff and Kyle Cartwright had jammed from the small blind.
Periaux had about 165,000 behind, which was about 27 big blinds. People rushed over to see the potential all in and call situation, but he tossed his raise chips over to Cartwright and mucked the face up to elicit some reaction from the watching crowd.
"Would you have called with aces?" queried a tablemate as Periaux sat content with his stack.
