No War Between Big Stacks
Level 36
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jean-Ren�� Fontaine raised to 1,200,000 on the button and Julien Martini defended from the small blind. The flop was 
and Martini check-called a bet of 2,200,000. Both players checked the 
on the turn.
On the 
river, Martini bet 2,600,000. Fontaine put together a call, took another good look at the board, then slid it in.
Confidently, Martini tabled 
for top pair with a strong kicker. Much to his surprise, however, Fontaine mustered up 
for a turned set of fours to claim the pot.
