Bigot Doubles via Benour
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Traian Stanciu opened to 6,000 from early position and was faced with a three-bet to 14,000 by Fabrice Bigot in the next seat. Action folded to Mahmoud Ait Benour, who spent around two minutes pondering his options and counting his chips before announcing he was all-in for around 120,000.
Stanciu got out of the way but Bigot made the quick call, with Bigot at risk.
Fabrice Bigot: Q?Q?
Mahmoud Ait Benour: A?K?
Bigot was ahead in the classic race, and no help arrived for Benour on the 10?9?5?9?J? runout, sending Bigot a timely double-up.
