Anthony Cierco Chips Up Without Showdown

Anthony Cierco defends the big blind against a button raise and checks his option on the flop. His opponent bets 4,000 only for Cierco to then check-raise to 11,000. A very reluctant fold follows as the Frenchman rakes in the pot.

One table over, Kunal Patni defends his big blind and checks the flop, then calls a bet of 5,000. On the turn, he checks again and folds when facing a second barrel for 17,000.

Anthony Cierco – 50,000
Kunal Patni – 80,000
