Aivand Risks his Tournament Life for a Split
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
We caught the action on the river when Antoine Aivand was already all in, and Samuel Fournier and Damour Anthony were battling for a side pot.
On the 4♣10♠3♦4♠10♣ board, Fournier bet 110,000 into a pot of around 300,000, and Anthony called. Fournier revealed Q♦9♦ for two pair, tens and fours, with a queen kicker. Anthony showed 5♦5♠ for a better two pair, much to Aivand's relief as he turned over 5♣5♥, resulting in a split for the main pot.
