In the first hand of three-handed play, Razvan Belea raised to 750,000 in the small blind with the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Fabrice Bigot in the big blind glanced at the {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and he gave it some consideration before three-betting to 2,200,000.

Belea used one time bank extension and elected to four-bet once more, making it 5,000,000 total to go. Bigot was contemplating his next move for a while and eventually settled on a fold, as Belea further increased his already commanding lead.

Two Small Pots for Bigot

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Razvan Belea limped the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} in the small blind and Fabrice Bigot knuckled his option with the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop was checked by Belea, who then called a min-bet of 200,000. The {a-Hearts} turn was checked again by the Romanian and he then folded to a second larger bet.

Bigot Extracts Value From Belea

Fabrice Bigot opened to 400,000 on the button with the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Brian Delaney three-bet to 1,400,000 with the {k-Spades}{3-Spades} in the small blind, forcing out the Frenchman this time.

Peter Jorgne limped the {k-Spades}{6-Hearts} from the small blind next and Razvan Belea raised to 750,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} in the big blind, earning the pot right away.

Belea limped the {4-Spades}{2-Spades} next for Bigot to raise it up to 600,000 with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} in the next blind battle. This time, Belea called and both players had a piece of the {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop. Belea checked over to Bigot, who bet 400,000 and Belea then check-raised to 1,250,000.

Bigot confirmed the raising amount with the dealer and then just called with his top pair and top kicker. That led to the {6-Spades} on the turn with which Belea picked up the flush draw but slowed down regardless with a check, Bigot checked it back.

Nothing changed with the {10-Clubs} on the river and Belea used a blocker bet of just 250,000, Bigot raised to 1,300,000 and that got Belea into the think tank. One time bank extension was used before Belea paid it off and Bigot leaped ahead of
