Big Double for Normand

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Frederic Normand raised on the button to 25,000 and Jesse Lonis three-bet from the small blind to 80,000. Normand then four-bet to 330,000, leaving himself around 20,000 behind. Lonis responded by moving all in, leaving Normand in the tank, perhaps waiting for the pay jump, for about a minute before he called.

Frederic Normand: K♣Q♦ All in
Jesse Lonis: 6♠6♦

"Ahh, no respect" said Normand as Lonis tabled his hand. The flop came J♠K♥9♠ which gave Normand top pair and he held as the board ran out 9♥K♠.

Normand faced some criticism for tanking, as the pay jump was only marginal, but he brushed it off with a laugh, saying he’s Canadian and "that's like a month's rent".
