Renau Can't Shake Eubank Jr

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Chris Eubank Jr boxing gloves

Chris Eubank Jr limped in from under the gun which invited a couple of other players to do the same. Gonzalo Renau seized the opportunity to pick up some dead chips with a raise to 4,000 on the button. However, Eubank Jr called and they went heads-up to a flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Both players tapped the table and the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn. Eubank Jr flicked in a bet of 5,000 on the turn and that was enough to get Renau to muck his cards and send the pot to the professional boxer who was a bounty on his head for the duration of the tournament. Whoever is fortunate enough to eliminate Eubank Jr will score themselves a set of signed boxing gloves.
