Bigot Makes a Big Laydown, Then Forced to Chop
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Fabrice Bigot bet 75,000 from under the gun on a board of 7?3?6?10? before Aleksandr Faterin moved all in from the cutoff.
Bigot, with 160,000 remaining, burned through several time banks as he considered the decision. "I have a really good hand," he told Faterin, but eventually decided to fold.
Faterin showed him K?10? and Bigot admitted he folded queen-ten. Bigot folded his big blind to a raise from Bart Lybaert the next hand, then got his last 120,000 in against Fabio Peluso a few hands later.
Fabrice Bigot: A?10?
Fabio Peluso: Q?10?
Bigot had Peluso dominated, but the board came all diamonds with 3?6?A?K?7?. Peluso told Bigot about his dramatic chop against Paul Newey yesterday as they split this pot.
