It was only a few short days ago when Matthew Waxman won the WPT Grand Prix de Paris. The person he defeated in that heads up battle was Hugo Lemaire and he is at the Portomaso hoping to go one step further this time.
Dan Murariu raises to 250 in early position and Hugo Lemaire raises the stakes a little when he makes the three-bet to 800 from the cut-off. When the action returns to Murariu he makes the call and the two of them see a flop of [9h] [8s] [2c] and they both check. The turn is the [6d] and once again both players check. The final card is the [2s] and Murariu checks to Lemaire and who makes a tiny bet of 225 and Murariu makes the call and wins the hand.
Murariu: [5c] [5h]
Lemaire: [As] [Kc]
