Chavalme Hits River for Much-Needed Triple
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Cedric Chavalme had put in his last 11,500 chips and received a call from Volodymyr Drokin. Terence Etim then made the three-bet all in, covering Drokin's stack as well. Drokin did not want to risk it all and let his hand go.
Cedric Chavalme: A♣9♠
Terence Etim: A♠J♣
Chavalme stood up as he lacked faith in a good outcome and the age-old trick worked out when he rivered two pair on A♦2♦3♣4♥9♦. Etim's dominating hand did not hold up postflop and Chavalme tripled back to starting stack.
