Maxime Taldir

Niveau 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kamal Jbirane defended from the big blind after Eduard Rau in early position opened to 60,000.

Rau continued for 40,000 on the 2♣Q♠5♦ flop, but Jbirane quickly check-raised to 140,000. Rau called to find the 7♠ turn where Jbirane checked.

Rau took this opportunity to go all-in for 325,000. Jbirane went into the tan and called.

Kamal Jbirane: Q♣10♠ All in
Eduard Rau: A♦A♣

Jbirane called with top pair, but Rau had aces and doubled up after the 8♣ river.
