Mahaut Picks Off Marechal to Double; Cappiello Cracks Yang's Aces...With Quads
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of J?3?6?8?, Anthony Mahaut bet 400,000 from middle position and Frederic Marechal moved all in. Mahaut quickly called for 1,450,000 with A?J? for top pair, while Marechal had 9?8? for a pair of eights.
The river was the J? and Mahaut improved to trips to secure the double up. "This guy's a survivor," tablemate Giridhar Tatavarti said.
At another table, Candido Cappiello bet 650,000 from the big blind on a board of J?J?3?7?J? and Xiaohua Yang called in middle position. Cappiello showed J?3? for quad jacks and Yang tossed two aces into the muck.
