Renaut Shifts into High Gear
As we were checking on Table Duhamel/Affleck, we walked into a big pot brewing between Affleck and Claire Renaut. When we joined the action, there was a board of out in the middle of the table and about 25,000 chips in the pot already.
Renaut checked, and Affleck slid out 16,000 chips. It represented nearly all of Renaut's remaining stack, and she tanked for a long while before pump-faking, then committing the chips to the pot. "If you have queen-nine, you're good," she said.
Affleck did not have queen-nine. Instead, he flipped up , and Renaut craned her neck with a puzzled look on her face, trying to figure out what the hand was. "Bluff," someone finally said, and Renaut tabled her . She was bright red and all nervous and giggly after making the correct call, and Affleck will double her up to about 60,000. That knocks him down a peg, but he's still got 57,000. And position on Jonathan Duhamel.
