Jonathan Bussières, who started the day with a clear 250K lead, is applying tremendous pressure on his opponents. Every time we walked by his table, he was involved in a hand. One time, he simply and casually called an ace-high flop bet in position, and fired on the turn to pick up the pot after his opponent checked.
The next time, his pre-flop raise to 12K was 3bet to 36K, and while the action was folded around, he was assessing how much his opponent had behind. Giuseppe Niro had about 95K in the back, and when Bussières announced all-in, he chose to save them.
His stack is evaluated at about 975K, and knowing Bussières’ ability to lean on his table mates when working with a crushing stack, he could already be our first millionnaire.
