Eychenne Gets it All
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Loris Gauthier opened to 17,000 from the small blind before Thomas Eychenne defended his big blind with a call.
The 2♥6♠4♣ flop led to a bet of 16,000 by Gauthier. Eychenne took some time before he made the call.
Gautheir jammed on the 7♦ turn before Eychenne quickly called to put himself at risk for 71,000.
Thomas Eychenne: K♦K♥
Loris Gauthier: 4♦3♠
Eychenne slow-played his kings and was in a good position to double up with one card to go, but he needed to fade a few outs to do so as Gautheir was drawing to a gutter and could win by pairing up his kicker or hitting trips.
None of that came to pass on the 2♦ river as Eychenne held to double up.
