Preflop, final table, seven handed, with the blinds at 250,000 and 500,000 and a 50,000 ante, Blumenfield raised to 1,200,000 from early position and Neuville called in middle position. On the flop Blumenfield bet 1,600,000 and Neuville called. On the turn Blumenfield checked and Neuville checked. On the river Blumenfield bet 4,000,000 and Nueville called.

Analysis

Neuville elected to flat call with his big slick in position. Taking flops with AK is much more agreeable in position rather than out, so there is less motivation to reraise pre flop. The flat call can disguise the strength of his Ace, and it can also induce a squeeze play behind him. If so inclined, Neuville could shove his 29 big blinds into an opponent who three-bet the action behind him. Neuville was fortunate to flop his set while his opponent also made top pair top kicker. You will often see inexperienced players overplay their one pair hand in this spot and go broke to the set. But not Neuville, who was content to flat call Blumenfield’s lead-out. Blumenfield didn’t have to worry about the potential for straights and flushes on the turn, where he improved to the full house. Neuville checked behind, controlling the pot size while under representing his hand. This line might induce a bluff from Blumenfield on the river, and it also loses the minimum to a hand like A-Q or 4-4. The Queen was actually a good card for Neuville as it made him wary he could be behind trips now, but in reality it also gave him some counterfeit outs for a bigger full house should another King or Queen peel on the river. Blumenfield bet out on the river leaving Neuville in yet another tough spot at the final table. Now Neuville was losing to Queens and a possible flush, but he had underrepresented his hand and still had enough showdown value to make folding unappealing. Blumenfield, along with Zvi Stern, was one of the wild cards at the table who were less predictable and certainly capable of bluffing. Neuville sunk down to 7.5 million after the hand, a disappointing trajectory after starting the tournament in 4th place.

Neuville is the oldest PokerStars Team Pro and one of the November Nine in the 2015 World Series of Poker finishing 7th.[1][2]

Early life[edit]

Neuville was born in 1943 in Montigny-le-Tilleul, Belgium. He discovered poker in 1957 and played throughout his 6 years at Universite Libre de Bruxelles, which he attended in 1963-1969.

In 1969 he designed a board game, called Eddy Merckx, after the famous cyclist, and started a toy company, which he sold to American toy giant Hasbro in 1982. Neuville stayed on as Vice President with Hasbro for another ten years.

In 1993 Neuville took a new direction. He started a personal consulting service and some of his famous clients over the 15 years until his retirement in 2008 included Belgian table-tennis player Jean-Michel Saive, golf star Gary Player, and Hollywood actor Kevin Costner.

Poker career[edit]

His first recorded cash dates back to November 2007 and the Belgian Poker Championship, where he won €5,022 for his 31st-place finish. In January 2008 Neuville played the Main Event in the European Poker TourPokerStars Caribbean Adventure, where he finished 18th out of 1,136 entrants and started his bankroll with the $48,000 prize money. Since then he has cashed in 39 EPT events,[3] and has made 15 final tables. In fact, Neuville set an unprecedented record by qualifying for the EPT Main Event 23 consecutive times. This earned him the title of 'Online Qualifier of the Year' in 2012 and a new nickname on PokerStars: ‘the Serial PokerStars Qualifier’. He still plays online with his nickname 'Zoutechamp' and is presently the oldest PokerStars Team Pro.

In his acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award (European Poker Awards, March 2015)[4] Neuville vowed, “The best is still to come!” Indeed, the 72-year-old Belgian followed this up with his best performance yet in the World Series of Poker Main Event and made the 2015 November Nine, where he started fourth in chips.[5]
