Tannoury Calls Off In Massive Pot
With around 300,000 already in the middle on a board of 8?7?2?10?, Gilles Simon bet 190,000 from the cutoff and Ricardo Tannoury called in the big blind.
The river came the 2? and Tannoury checked over to Simon, who announced he was all in.
Tannoury had around 800,000 remaining and used four time banks as he tanked for more than two minutes before flicking in a chip to signify a call. Simon then turned over J?J?, while Tannoury could only show 10?9? for a pair of tens.
Simon knocked over Casimir Seire's gin and tonic as he celebrated winning the massive pot to send Tannoury to the rail. "I know it was an exciting pot, but come on. I'm all wet now," Seire said as he ordered another soda water.
"We have a new chip leader now," tablemate Mekan Yusupov said. Simon also knocked out Maduka Meragal at this table earlier in the day as he moved up to around 3,000,000.
