Retiere's Big Bet Forces Qartomy to Fold
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After a flurry of raises preflop, the pot had swelled to around 65,000 when the flop came down 5?3?8?. Romain Retiere was first to act and fired a bet of 15,000, which Ray Qartomy called without hesitation.
Both players checked when the Q? hit the turn.
As the river brought the 8?, Retiere seized the initiative again, launching a hefty bet of 100,000��essentially putting Qartomy's tournament life on the line. Qartomy took his time to think it over but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Retiere to continue building his stack.
