Two For Marechal
Frederic Marechal raised to 320,000 under the gun and was called by Frederik Thiemer in the cutoff and big blind Alen Sabic.
Action checked to Thiemer on the 4♠4♣2♥ flop and he bet 400,000. Only Marechal called to the 8♠ turn as both players checked.
The river was the A♦ and Marechal led out for 900,000. Thiemer quickly called and Marechal showed A♣K♠ for two pair to win the pot.
The next hand, Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 320,000 in the cutoff and Marechal defended his big blind. El Yaacoubi continued for 160,000 on the 2♦9♠K♥ flop and Marechal called.
The turn was the A♠ and El Yaacoubi bet another 325,000. Marechal again called and the 8♣ fell on the river. El Yaacoubi then bet 600,000 and Marechal snap-called. El Yaacoubi showed A♦6♥, but Marechal had A♣Q♥ and took the pot with aces, queen-kicker.
