Sion's Massive River Overbet Drives Off Lichtenberger
Level 15
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elior Sion raised to 80,000 from the button and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind. Both players checked through a 9♦7♣A♣ flop and a 6♦ turn.
But the fireworks started when the 5♣ hit the river. Lichtenberger led out for 40,000. Sion used two time banks considering the one liner straight and flush draws that had hit, then raised to 380,000. Lichtenberg threw his cards away regretfully, and Sion dragged the pot.
