More For Darcourt
We only saw one action during this hand, a fold, but it was noteworthy enough to tell you about it.
When we walked up to the table, there was a flop out on board, and the pot was heads up. There was about 65,000 piled in the middle of the table already, and Jefri Islam had 20,500 chips out in front of his betting line. In position, Guillaume Darcout had responded by shoving two tall stacks of yellow chips forward, his 200,000 enough to cover Islam.
It was a few long minutes of agonizing tank time for Islam, and he eventually decided to cut his losses and surrender. "Bad fold?" he asked almost immediately.
"I don't know what you had," Darcourt said. "I could have jack-ten..."
He's not telling what he had, so we'll just tell you how many chips he has -- 480,000 of them, good for the chip lead by a few thousand.
