Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Antoine Valantin raised from under the gun to 2,200. A player in middle position and the big blind called.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and action checked to Valantin who continued for 3,000. His opponent in middle position raised to 6,200. Only Antoine called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Valantin decided to fire for 6,000. His opponent responded by moving all-in for their last 17,700. Valentin thought for a while before calling where he tabled his {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} which was ahead of his opponent's {a-}{10-}.

The river was inconsequential, resulting in Valatin knocking his opponent out and raking in the pot.
