Girard Closes the Gap and Takes the Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Hugues Girard raised to 650,000 from the small blind and Alexis Rozenblat defended from the big blind to find a flop of 4♥5♠2♥.
Girard bet 925,000 and was called, then asked for 1,700,000 on the 10♣ turn. Rozenblat called again.
Girard decided to check the K♦ river. Rozenblat checked back with 6♦4♦ for a pair. But Girard had a better pair with Q♥5♣ and he scooped the pot.
