Normand Lays Down the Best Hand
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Renji Mao limped in from the small blind with Q♣10♦ and Frederic Normand checked his option in the big blind holding Q♦5♦.
Both saw the 9♦5♣A♦ flop where Mao fired 160,000 and Normand called with his pair and flush draw. The 4♥ on the turn saw Mao check and after some time, Normand checked back.
A 7♥ completed the board and Mao reached for chips then fired out 450,000 as a bluff. Normand continued to riffle his chips as he contemplated the decision and eventually laid down the best hand.
