An Orbit With Defending Champion Antonin Teisseire
We were told that defending champion Antonin Teisseire, who took down this tournament 12 months ago for €72,000, had registered for the Winamax Poker Open Main Event, and we were just waiting for him to take his seat.
When he did so, we headed over to see how he would approach his first hand.
Hand 1 - A player raised to 800 from under the gun and Teisseire, who was still sorting out his headphones, folded in the cutoff.
Hand 2 - Teisseire, now with headphones in, raised to 750 from under the gun. The button three-bet to 2,000 and Teisseire folded.
Hand 3 - The button raised to 800 and Teisseire defended his big blind. The flop came 
and both players checked.
The turn was the 
and Teisseire bet 1,025 and his opponent called. Teisseire checked the 
river and his opponent checked behind.
Teisseire showed 
for a flopped set of fives and took down the pot.
Hand 4 - Teisseire folded his small blind to a button open.
Hand 5 - Teisseire folded his button to and under the gun open.
