...Then Loses Two

Anthony Roux in the big blind called an under-the-gun raise from Stefan Mattsson, but check-folded on the {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop.

Four hands later, with Roux back in the big blind, he called a button raise from Jan Skampa and furthermore check-called 190,000 on the {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} flop, but he checked the {6-Clubs} turn as well, and this time folded to a 500,000 bet from Skampa.

Roux Picks Up Another One

Anthony Roux raised to 150,000 under the gun and big blind Eyal Avitan made the call. Come the {6-Clubs} {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} flop, though, Avitan checked and Roux took it down with a simple 200,000 bet.

The French element of the rail, currently consisting of Arnaud Mattern, Nicolas Levi and Manuel Bevand, gave him a round of applause.

Roux Doubles Through Skampa

First hand back, and Jan Skampa raised to 135,000 under the gun. Relatively short-stacked Anthony Roux pushed form the small blind, Skampa called, and they were on their proverbial backs.

Skampa: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Roux: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs}

The Czech railers were calling for a fourth three on the river, but it never came. Roux doubles to almost 2.5 million, and is firmly back in the game.

Roux'd Awakening

Anthony Roux is in some trouble.

In the big blind, he called a button raise from Jan Skampa, and check-called another 150,000 on the turn of the {J-Spades} {3-Spades} {9-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} board. He check-called 410,000 on the {7-Spades} river, too - only to muck to Skampa's {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

Roux is our short stack now on around a million.

...And Again

Stefan Mattsson raised from the button this time, and Jan Skampa, now in the small blind, made the call.

Skampa check-called 155,000 on the {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {A-Spades} flop and another 240,000 on the {Q-Hearts} turn. They both checked the {J-Diamonds} river, and Mattsson turned over {3-Spades} {6-Spades} for a monster draw that had turned to nothing. Skampa's {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} was good to take the pot, and put him up to 5.5 million or so.

Skampa Challenges Chip Leader

Stefan Mattsson raised to 165,000 from the small blind, only for Jan Skampa to make it 425,000 from the big. Mattsson called, and they saw an {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} flop, which they both checked.

Mattsson bet out 440,000 on the {A-Spades} turn, but Skampa made the call and they both checked the {5-Clubs} river.

"You win," announced Mattsson and mucked his cards. Skampa was not required to show, and is up to 5 million.
