Sfez Doubles Through Pinheiro
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Igor Yaroshevskyy opened under the gun to 80,000, but saw Vinicius Pinheiro in the hijack three-bet to 235,000.
Action came to Eric Sfez in the big blind, who seemed to struggle to make a decision. He used a few time banks and eventually four-bet to 1,550,000, keeping a single blind with him. Yaroshevskyy folded, then Pinheiro shoved, and Sfez called.
Eric Sfez: 8♥8♠
Vinicius Pinheiro: K♠J♠
Pinheiro was quite happy to see that he was going to play a flip to try to eliminate Sfez. But the Frenchman wasn't dead yet and he doubled up on the Q♥9♠5♦Q♠6♥ runout.
