Olivier Busquet

On a board reading AhAs8c9h Javier Zarco bets 3,900 into a pot of 6,500 from the big blind and Olivier Busquet called.

The river brought the 5h, Zarco bet 6,500 and Busquet moved all in for around 21,000. Zarco went into the tank and muttered “I know you have some bluffs here”.

He thought about it for a while before deciding to lay it down. He flashed the ace of clubs as he threw his hand in the muck, while asking Busquet to show one of his. Busquet shook his head and mucked his cards as well.

Olivier Busquet – 49,000
