French Nearly Doubles as Wade Comes Back From the Brink
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Van Marcus opened to 115,000 first to act and was called by Ciaran Paxman from directly behind. Just behind him, Yesha Punjabi also called. Benjamin French then announced he was all in for 900,000 on the button and Tristan Wade, who lost the majority of his stack after losing a classic race with queens versus ace-king (according to Wade), called all in for 50,000 total from the small blind.
Marcus got out of the way, but Paxman shoved for more, which got a fold from Punjabi for a three-way showdown.
Tristan Wade: 9♥7♠
Benjamin French: A♦6♦
Ciaran Paxman: K♠Q♦
The J♠4♣J♣ flop changed nothing, but the 9♦ turn paired Wade's nine to give him the lead.
The 8♦ river bricked out and Wade septupled his stack while French nearly doubled up.
