Championship Warm Up ($600)

France’s Thomas Pierre Bruno opens from utg+2 for 1,200 and gets the blinds to call.

The flop is J♣ 5♦ A♥ as the blinds check. Bruno unloads another 1,200 and the blinds call. The turn is the 9♠ and again the blinds check. This time, the Frenchman checks behind. The river is the 5♥ as it is checked back to Bruno who now bets 6,200. The Player in the sb folds, but Thailand’s Piyawat Tangwilai opts to make the call from the bb.

Bruno tables A♣ 8♥ for top pair on the flop. Tangwilai chooses to muck.

Bruno now nears the 100,000 chip mark.
