Normand Goes Big on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
There was a raise to 25,000 in early position and Frederic Normand flat-called on his left. They went heads-up to a flop of A♠K♣9♣. It checked to Normand who bet 20,000 and his opponent called.
The 9♠ paired the board on the turn and Normand followed it up with a bet of 80,000. His opponent still called and the 3♥ landed on the river. After a third check, Normand announced a bet of 425,000 on the river. His opponent thought for nearly two minutes but opted to lay his hand down.
