Le Vaillant Passes Ten Million
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alexandre Le Vaillant opened to 300,000 from the hijack holding KxQx and Julien Vecchioli called from the button with K♣9♣ as did Tristan Forge from the small blind holding A♦9♦.
The flop came Q♦J♣8♦ and all three players checked leading to the 4♠ turn. Forge bet 1,000,000, Le Vaillant called and Vecchioli got out of the way.
Both players checked the 3♥ river. Le Vaillant had held with his pair of queens versus the flush draw of his opponent allowing him to scoop a healthy pot, passing 10,000,000 in chips in the process.
