Gabor Szollosy and Thierry Loqmane limped in, and both players called when Mark Naalden shoved from the small blind for 2,100.
They saw a flop, and Loqmane bet pot -- 7,200. Szollosy moved in for a total of 8,700, Loqmane called, and it was a massive three-way showdown.
Loqmane: for a set
Szollosy: for the nut flush draw
Naalden: for a suddenly not very good hand
"Allez!" shouted Loqmane.
Turn:
River:
Loqmane's full house won the lot, and Naalden and Szollosy made their exits. "Always the Frenchman," sighed another player at the table. "Yes," said a cheerful Loqmane, "Frenchmen are lucky bastards."
