Damien Fouquet Eliminated in 13th Place (120,000 DKK)

[user66118]

Under the gun, Morten Guldhammer opened to 60,000. A few seats over, the likewise-big-stacked Damien Fouquet made a three-bet to 150,000. Guldhammer called, the the two chip leaders were off to the flop.

It came {10-Clubs}

, and Guldhammer led right out with a bet of 200,000. Fouquet didn't waste any time moving all in for 1.512 million, and Guldhammer's call came in an instant! Just like that, a pot of more than 3 million chips was up for grabs! Cards on their back, gents:

Guldhammer: {10-Spades}

Fouquet:

It was quite a situation we had on our hands. Guldhammer had outflopped Fouquet's overpair, the latter in very serious danger of tumbling down and out of the tournament entirely.

The {2-Clubs}

on the turn was no help to Fouquet, other than giving him three more outs to make a better two pair. When the raggy {Q-Diamonds}

filled out the board, an awkward celebration followed from Guldhammer. The two men shook hands, Fouquet visibly stricken by what had just transpired.

After winning by far the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, Guldhammer has opened up an enormous chip lead with 3.653 million!
