Eychenne and Satubayev Play an Unconventional Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 8,000 from the hijack, Shyngis Satubayev three-bet to 25,000 from the button and Eychenne responded with a four-bet to 65,000. Satubayev called.
Eychenne continued for 15,000 on the Q♣5♦5♥ flop. Satubayev called.
The 2♣ turn slowed down Eychenne. Satubayev took the lead with a very small bet of 10,000 and Eychenne called.
Both players took their time as the J♦ river checked to a showdown. Eychenne tabled K♣Q♠ for top pair, while Satubayev took down this pot with A♠A♣.
A neutral player at the table commented "The bets just kept getting smaller and smaller!"
