Vecchioli Pressures Messadek
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Soufiane Messadek opened to 500,000 under the gun with K♥8♥ and Julien Vecchioli called from the small blind holding K♦2♦.
The flop came K♠J♣9♠ and Vecchioli check-called a 650,000 continuation bet from Messadek.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn leading to the 10♥ river. Vecchioli bet 850,000 and after about two minutes in the tank Messadek decided to fold, allowing Vecchioli to scoop a nice pot that would have otherwise been split had the two gone to showdown.
