Fournier Swerves Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Gregory Fournier opened to 1,500 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 4,000 by Michel Leibgorin on the button. Action folded back to Fournier, who called.
On the 8♠J♥7♦ flop, Fournier checked to his opponent, who put out a huge overbet of 26,000. It seemed like Leibgorin meant to bet 2,600 and, after some thought, Fournier folded.
As he raked in the pot, Leibgorin flashed A♠A♣ for a pair of aces.
