Duhamel Doubles Through Busquet

Mickey Doft

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up with the action on the {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop.

Jonathan Duhamel bet 1,500 and Olivier Busquet popped it to 4,000. A third player in the hand folded and Duhamel called, leading to the {6-Clubs} turn card. Duhamel checked again and Busquet fired 8,300. After a few moments Duhamel called, checking the {J-Diamonds} river card. Busquet announced all in, having Duhamel well covered.

Nearly five minutes passed before Duhamel called all in for 27,775, seeing Busquet table {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} . When Duhamel showed {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} for a set Busquet was visibly upset, clearly feeling Duhamel should have called much sooner with that hand.
