Bianchi Cracks Aces

Pascal Le Francois opens with a raise to 1,600 from middle position. Next to act is Max Lykov and he flat calls. Alain Goldberg folds but the short-stacked Benoit Bianchi squeezes to 4,000.

Everyone else fold back to Lykov and he asks his sole opponent for a count. "Around 20,000" is the reply and Lykov bets enough to put Bianchi all in. Bianchi quickly calls and the duo turn over their hands.

Bianchi: [QcQs]

Lykov: [AsAh]

The final board runs out [3dKs5cJs]…..[Qh] and the queen on the river saves Bianchi!
