Loire Leaves One Chip Behind
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Around 150,000 was already in the middle as Julien Loire and Fernando Santa Maria saw the turn on a board of 2♠2♦K♣4♦. Loire then bet 35,000 from under the gun, and Santa Maria called on the button.
The river was the 4♠ and Loire bet 95,000, leaving himself one 5,000 chip behind. Santa Maria tanked for a few minutes before calling, and Loire showed A♣A♠ to earn the virtual double up.
