We caught the action with 18,100 in the pot and a board reading {d}. Joann Georges Lenne had just bet 7,000 from the small blind and action was on Andrew Lichtenberger on the button.
The man known as "Lucky Chewy" thought for a solid minute before silently tossing in a call, and Lenne immediately muck his cards. A winner must be shown to lay claim to a pot, so Lichtenberger tabled the winning .
She opened to 275 I 3bet to 700 with 88 button cold calls and she calls. Flop Jd7c6s rainbow, ck I bet 1k button calls she calls, turn 8cSeptember 26 2012
She checks I bet 3k button folds she makes it 11k (we all started with 30k)...I thought she plays 66,77 same way and shoved and ran into JJSeptember 26 2012
Roberto Romanello took his time to call on the river in a hand versus Georges Lenne, almost as of he knew he was beat.
The former was in early position and continued for 800 on an flop. Lenne was in the small blind and check-called before he led for 2,000 and 4,500 on the turn and river.
The Welshman made the calls and mucked upon seeing Lenne's for a straight.
The players continue to trickle into the tournament floor. Dan Smith, who brought some sushi with him, just took his seat over at Table 9, which includes his peers Justin Bonomo and Isaac Haxton.
Meanwhile, David "ODB" Baker took his seat at the same table as Phil Ivey and John Juanda sat down at Table 18 with Jason Mercier and Joe Kuther. Juanda wasn't sure he'd be able to play this event as it started at 5 p.m. and his one-year-old son, who is with him and his wife here in Cannes, has messed up his sleep schedule a bit. Nonetheless, Juanda tore himself away and is in the field.
It's horrible when you have to argue your own point when a ruling is made against you, knowing that arguing only highlights the weakness of your hand. Just ask Fung Cheung.
Jean Robert Bellande, Cheung and Juha Hellpi all took a flop. Bellande led for 650 from under the gun and Cheung threw out 1,125 meaning to call. Hellpi folded as the floor was called. She argued that she meant to call but was forced to min raise to 1,300 as her bet was more than 50% of Bellande's bet.
Bellande decided to pile on the pressure and three-bet to 2,600. Cheung called and then gave up on the turn after Bellande fired 4,500 into her.
Action folded to Brian Park in the cutoff and he put in a raise. Since the player on the button was gone, action was on Phil Ivey in the small blind. He opted to three-bet it to 800, the big blind folded, and Park responded with a four-bet to 1,950. Not to be outdone, Ivey put together an assortment of chips and knuckled out a five-bet of 5,950. Park must have realized he'd met his match as he thought for about 20 seconds and then released his hand.
