Fournier Takes The Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Aleksandr Razinkov opened from the button to 550,000. Samuel Fournier defended the big blind.
Fournier check-called a bet of 325,000 on the flop of K?Q?2?. He check-called another bet on the 7? turn, this time for 1,200,000.
The 8? saw another check from Fournier, and another sizable bet from Razinkov, this time for 3,500,000. Fournier went deep into the tank �� so deep the blind level increased and an "all in and call" had been announced at the adjacent table.
"It's a chiplead pot if I call and I'm right," said Fournier. After almost ten minutes of thought, Fournier called and Raznikov snap-mucked.
"Yes!" exclaimed the Frenchman as he raked in a huge pot.
