Joubert Annihilates Ancel
Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With around 6,000 in the middle on a board of 6♠5♥4♣7♥, Bruno Ancel led out with a bet of 3,800 from the big blind, and was met with a raise to 13,800 from Valentin Joubert in the cutoff. After quite a bit of deliberation, Ancel called.
The 4♥ river paired the board, and also brought in potential flushes.
Ancel checked to his opponent, who took some time to think before firing out a bet of 50,000, covering Ancel's remaining stack of around 30,000.
Ancel put his hands to his head and sighed. After around two minutes he suddenly said "Allez" and flicked in a calling chip.
Joubert tabled Q♠8♣ for the eight-high straight, and that was good against Ancel's A♠7♠.
