Mendoza Gets the Maximum
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Samuel Fournier raised from middle position to 3,000, Jeremias Mendoza called in the hijack and the big blind elected to defend.
The flop came Q♦8♦10♣. The action was checked to Mendoza who took the lead for 5,500. Only Fournier decided to continue.
The 4♠ saw a repeat of the action, this time Mendoza betting out 13,000.
The 2♥ river saw Fournier check again. Mendoza emptied the clip with a bet of 20,000. After several minutes in the tank, Fournier made the call only to be shown the bad news as Mendoza tabled A♥Q♥ for the winner.
