Analysis
Jais’ broadway cards easily qualified for a call out of the big blind against Guichard’s late position raise. He flopped an open ended straight draw and got a free look at the turn once Guichard failed to make the continuation bet. Jais correctly sensed weakness and semibluffed the turn, but Guichard relied on his Ace-high for the call. Jais bet his busted draw on the river with the value bet bluff, pricing his bet to mimic a value bet that appeared unafraid of a call without a deterring size. It was an excellent play, but Guichard’s deep stack gave him plenty of room to look up his crafty opponent with Ace-high. Jais’ run soon ended in 5th, but Guichard went on to face Vadzim Kursevich heads-up for the title.
