Big Stacks Clash

Koen Lauwereys raised to 135,000 from late position and was three-bet to 300,000 by Samir Akhoullou in the hijack. Action folded to Christophe De Meulder in the big blind who took some time to consider his options. After a while, he decided to four-bet to 775,000. Lauwereys glimpsed at De Meulder and then folded. Akhoullou called without hesitating much.

The flop came 9♠6♣7♦, De Meulder took a few seconds and then continued with a bet of 650,000. Akhoullou contemplated for a while, and then open-folded A♥K♣.

Christophe De Meulder – 4,400,000
Samir Akhoullou – 3,900,000
Koen Lauwereys – 3,200,000
