Perfect River Creates Huge Win for Normand
Frederic Normand opened to 5,000 from the button and was then three-bet to 12,000 from the small blind, which he called to see a flop of 6♥9♠7♠.
The small blind continued for 13,000 but then Normand put in a raise to 28,500. She quickly made the call and the two went to the turn 6♠ which saw a check from the small blind and a bet of 27,000 from Normand.
His opponent made the call to see the A♠ fall on the river and action was checked to Normand once again. He thought about it for a second -before moving all in for over 200,000, barely covering the small blind who went deep into the tank.
After a good minute or so, she finally shrugged and said "Screw it," and shoved her not-so-small stack into the middle, putting herself at risk.
She flipped over J♠J♥ for a rivered flush but was then shown the bad news when Normand rolled over 9♣9♦ for a turned full house to scoop the massive pot, eliminating his opponent and rocketing him into the top of the chip counts with almost 550,000.
