Neymar and Pirault Ride the Rollercoaster
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Neymar opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and called when Francois Pirault moved all in for 48,000 from the small blind.
Francois Pirault: J♦J♥
Neymar: A♣10♣
Pirault smashed the J♣2♦2♠ flop, making a full house on the soccer star. The 4♦ confirmed Pirault's double-up ahead of the 9♥ river.
The following hand, Neymar opened to 8,000 again. Pirault called from the button before Andre Marques defended his big blind.
Pirault called bets of 13,000 and 30,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 7♦7♥4♦5♦7♣. Neymar jammed as the slightly bigger stack and folded out his opponent.
Neymar then tabled A♥10♦ for a stone-cold bluff, with Pirault tapping the table as the pot was pushed to Neymar.
