De Paz Goes Bananas from the Big Blind
Dario De Paz had amassed a stack of 986,000 after felting an opponent with a set of aces against a set of sevens, however, his monster stack quickly disappeared after a costly mistake.
Mathieu Rabalison opened to 20,000 from early position and was called by Herve Mary from the button.
De Paz then moved all in. Rabilson called as the slightly bigger stack and Mary quickly folded.
Dario De Paz:
Mathieu Rabalison:
It was the biggest pot of the tournament so far and De Paz was dominated.
The flop kept Rabalison ahead but the turn gave De Paz a wheel draw. The completed the board and De Paz was distraught about the outcome.
He looked vacant as he left the table, which had attracted a crowd at this point.
Mary and Rabalison were adamant that De Paz didn't see the Rabalison's open and that's how the chips went into the middle.
Rabalison won a pot north of two million and is the clear chip leader.
