Bayout Triples Up
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Axel Bayout defended his big blind after Jalil Houssain opened to 6,000,000. The pair checked the Q♥3♦2♣ flop and the turn was the J♥. Bayout checked, but folded to Houssain's shove.
A few hands later, David Prociak opened to 6,000,000 and Bayout shoved for 8,500,000. Kartik Ved cold-called and Prociak also called.
Ved forced Prociak out on the A♠3♦3♣ flop and the cards were turned over.
Axel Bayout: A♣3♥
Kartik Ved: 6♥6♣
Bayout had hit the perfect flop, and avoided disaster on the 7♦ turn and the 8♣ river to triple up.
