Fournier Turns an Ace
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Govert Metaal raised to 115,000 from the small blind and Alexandre Fournier called from the big blind.
On the 10?2?8? flop, both players checked to see the A? on the turn. Metaal bet 80,000, and Fournier called.
A 7? fell on the river and Metaal checked, then Fournier checked back.
Metaal showed K?6? for just king-high, but Fournier held A?4? for a pair of aces and won the pot.
