Castaignon Continues to Chip Up
Level 32
: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
After Remi Castaignon won that 5 million-plus chip pot off of Walid Bou Habib, the pair took turns raising buttons and claiming blinds and antes for a few hands.
Then a hand developed in which Bou Habib raised to 325,000 from the button, then Castaignon interrupted the pattern with a three-bet to 900,000 and after a short pause Bou Habib folded.
After that came another hand in which Castaignon raised and Bou Habib called to create a pot of 690,000. Both checked the 
flop, then Bou Habib checked-called bets of 525,000 by Castaignon on both the 
turn and 
river.
Castaignon then showed 
for jacks and deuces, and Bou Habib mucked.
