Busquet Extends Lead With Massive Bluff
Olivier Busquet has just shown why many have placed him as a firm favourite to walk away with the title here at EPT Campione.
We joined the action on the flop with Balazs Botond in the small blind and Busquet in the big blind. Botand lead into Busquet with a 110,000 bet only to see Busquet make it 330,000 to play. Botond sat studying the board for almost 90 seconds before he put in a raise of his own, this one to 660,000. Amazingly that was not the end of the betting because Busquet responded by making it 1,200,000 to play!
The reason we said "amazingly" is because Botond reluctantly folded and was shown from Busquet, who now has more than 5,000,000 chips.
