Gardes Will Take a Chop
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Dmitrii Perfilev raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Josselin Gardes shoved 240,000 from the cutoff. After some time thinking it over, Perfilev called.
Josselin Gardes: A♣K♥
Dmitrii Perfilev: A♦2♦
Gardes had the best of it with Big Slick, but had a lot more outs to fade as the 9♦10♦9♥ flop gave Perfilev a flush draw. A 3♣ on the turn was no help, and the 10♣ on the river meant they chopped up the pot.
"I'll take it," said Gardes at the end of the hand.
