Jean Ateba Gets Lucky to Stay Alive
Niveau 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Patryk Poterek opened for 35,000 under the gun with the 
and Jean Ateba three-bet all in for 276,000 holding the 
in the cutoff. Daniel Coupal then four-bet jammed from the small blind for 687,000 with the 
and Poterek, who had 457,000 back, hit the tank before folding.
Ateba's best shot at staying alive was to catch an ace, but no ace would come. Instead, the flop came an improbable 
to give him the lead with trips!
Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Coupal, and he sent over a big part of his stack.
