Bad Day for Big Slick
It was a tough decision for Jean-Paul Pasqualini.
Julien Arneodo in middle position had open-raised all in, then it folded to Peuriere Christophe on the button who had reraised all in for approximately 22,000. It folded to Pasqualini in the big blind -- with only a little more left in his stack than Christophe's raise -- who thought for some time before finally folding his 
face up.
Christophe tabled his 
, and Arneodo liked his 
somewhat less after seeing what Pasqualini had folded. The board came 
, giving Christophe a needless set on the end and eliminating Arneodo.
Pasqualini stays alive with 23,500, while Christophe bounces up over the 50,000-chip mark.
