Goutard Goes All the Way to the Top

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ankit Ahuja had called the raise of Antoine Goutard preflop from the big blind.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Ahuja check-called the bet of Goutard who was sitting in mid-position.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} on which Ahuja check-called again.

The river completed the board with the {a-Hearts} and Ahuja checked for the last time. Goutard continued with a bet of 90,000 into the pot that contained around 120,000 already. Ahuja responded with a shove of 264,000 which sent Goutard into the tank. After a while, Goutard decided to make the call. Ahuja flipped over {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} and rapped the table when he saw Goutard had {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Ahuja was sent to the payout desk while Goutard grabbed the chip lead with this monster pot.
