Wiciak Cracks Freydier's Set in Massive Multiway Pot
Simon Wiciak opened to 1,200 first to act and was called by a player in middle position, Mickael Freydier in the hijack, and both players in the blinds for a five-way pot.
Action checked to Freydier, who bet 4,500 on the 4♦Q♥9♥ flop. Only the big blind and Wiciak called.
The 5♣ fell on the turn and it was again checked to Freydier, who announced he was all in for approximately 30,000 total. The big blind got out of the way and Wiciak snap-called to put Freydier at risk.
Mickael Freydier: 9♠9♣
Simon Wiciak: 5♥4♥
Freydier had way the best of it with his set of nines against Wiciak's two pair and flush draw, but the 3♥ river filled Wiciak's flush to earn him the massive pot and eliminate Freydier from the tournament.
At another table, Jean-Noel Thorel, who is number one on France's tournament-earnings list, was seen taking his seat
