Small Ball Soulier

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action has slowed down somewhat and we're seeing smaller pots played out. Perhaps it's got something to do with the 11 remaining runners' proximity to the final table. Either way, we've got no biggies to report since Joep van den Bijgaart's quads. The best we can do right now is a small pot that's made Fabrice Soulier's stack look a little more comfortable.

Soulier raised to 115,000 in the cutoff and Max Heinzelmann called in the big blind to see a flop. It came down {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and they both checked, proceeding directly to the {7-Spades} turn. Heinzelmann bet out 75,000 which Soulier called, and they got to see the river.

Both players reverted to checking on the [3h river and Heinzelmann turned over a nothing-y {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} with a matter-of-fact shrug. Soulier's {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes was good to take the pot, and he's at 1.2 million now. Heinzelmann barely felt the loss of those few chips, and remains in second place on 3.35 million.
