Archambeaud Marching

Etienne Archambeaud has jumped into a spot among the early leaders here in Deauville after a massive pot moments ago.

The action began with a 400 chip bet from Archambeaud under the gun. Petru Moraru responded with a raise, making it 1,075 from the cutoff. However, Sebastian Winkler had other ideas, four-betting it up to 2,750.

Archambeaud took his time about it, but came in with a fifth bet, making it 5,500 and after Moraru tossed his hand in the muck, Winkler six-bet it up to 11k. Archambeaud made the call and checked the {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Winkler made it 4,500 and Archambeaud flatted, forcing the dealer to reveal the {10-Hearts} turn. Archambeaud checked again, but when Winkler made it 5,500, he shipped it in for an additional 8,100.

This sent Winkler deep into thought and after a good three minutes, Archambeaud called the clock. With just 13,800 left in his stack, Winkler folded, claiming he held ace-king as Archambeaud dragged one of the biggest pots of the early going without showdown.
