HomeA very big pot and a very difficult decision for Matthieu Lamagnere against Chi Jen Chu. The hand began with action folding to the cutoff Matthieu. he raised to 35k, button Chi Jen Chu called, so did the big blind Chin Chung Ho.
At the flop K♠ J♠ 4♣, Chin checked, Matthieu checked, Chu bet 45k, Chin folded, then back to Matthieu with the call. On the 7♦ turn, checked by Matthieu, Chu bet 75k, Matthieu raised to 195k, called by Chu. On the river 8♠, Matthieu checked again, Chu slid out 400k indicating a push with Matthieu at 363k behind. This sent Matthieu tanking for quite sometime. He eventually found the courage to call for his tournament life and it was a good one. Chu opened up a Q♦ 9♦ bluff. Matthieu won it with K♣ 7♣ two pair.
Matthieu zoomed to 1.316M. Chu down to 200k.
