Groppi and Abida Win Big Pots
A hand that could have went far more ballistic saw Ali Mechiche open and then just call a three-bet by Abdenbi Abida from one seat over. The board ran out 
and Mechiche's kings ended up second best to the 
of Abida. Even Fahd was impressed that Mechiche had not gone broke in the spot.
Then, Henrique Pinho opened from early position and [Removed:215] in the small blind as well as Mathieu Papineau in the big blind called. On the 
flop all three players checked. The 
turn saw Groppi check-raise to 250,000 and Papineau, who had bet 80,000, flat-called while Pinho folded.
On the 
river, Groppi made it 350,000 to go for most of the stack of Papineau and the latter folded after a staring contest of the two players with headphones next to each other. Papineau revealed his 
for two pair and was shown 
for a successful bluff by Groppi.
