Aubin Cazals is Out After a Huge Hero Call

Level 18: 3,000-6,000, 1,000 ante

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Aubin Cazals it out after making a huge hero call against Kemal Sevevi. We didn't see the hand but Cazals was kind enough to give us the following information.

The board was Tx 9x 5x 2x (two flush draws) and Sevevi made a huge bet. Using his experience of playing with him during this tournament Cazals believed his range was weighted towards draws and made the call. The river bricked, Sevevi shoved and Cazals made the call for his tournament life with just 9x 8x. Sevevi turned over pocket aces and Cazals was out.

Sevevi ~ 610,000

Sam El Sayed Seated Next to Aubin Cazals

Level 1: 50-100, ante

WPT Champions Club member Sam El Sayed has just taken his seat next to the latest French World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Aubin Cazals. Gone is the signature cigar and instead a Marlboro sticks to the upper lip of our former champion. He is, as usual, getting stuck in nice and early, but he has not gotten off to a great start. He has just got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar on a board of K 7 4 T A. Sayed tried to steal it on the river with a 4,200 bet holding 8 6 and his opponent made the call with A A.
