Roux Cooks Up a Huge Pot

Anthony Roux

Bastian Trachte raised preflop and Anthony Roux called in the big blind. They went heads up to a flop.

Flop: {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Roux checked, and Trachte announced a bet of 44,000. He spent perhaps a minute carefully counting out and stacking the bet before very slowly and deliberately pushing the chips across the line. Roux called.

Turn: {4-Hearts}

Again, Roux checked. This time Trachte announced a bet of 131,000. Because the bet was larger this time, it took even longer to count it out and stack it up, before eventually pushing it into the middle. Once more, Roux called.

River: {8-Hearts}

Roux checked one last time. Over to Trachte, who now disappeared into the tank for a few minutes. This was turning into an epic hand. Eventually, he announced a huge bet of 314,000. Three minutes later, that bet made its way into the middle.

Now it was Roux's turn to dwell up. He looked very forlorn, as the media crowded in around the table. After approximately an age, he called - and Trachte had mucked even before Roux had turned over his pocket {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. Wow.

Roux moves on up to a seriously in-contention 1.6 million.
