Savevski Scoops Massive Pot to Eliminate Fournier; Wins Another Right After
Samuel Fournier opened 100,000 in the cutoff, and Ilija Savevski called on the button before Alin Grasu defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♣6♦3♣, and once checked to Fournier continued for 115,000. Savevski raised to 375,000 and only Fournier made the call.
The 5♠ hit the turn, and Fournier check-called a bet of 675,000.
When the 3♦ completed the board, Fournier checked to Savevski who pushed a bet of 2,000,000 across the line. Fournier tanked before deciding to rip his entire stack of 3,175,000 into the middle, and Savevski called.
Fournier turned over 7♦5♦ for two pair, but was shown the bad news as Savevski tabled 6♥6♣ for a full house.
Almost immediately after, Savevski won another pot of about 1,300,000 with pocket kings against David Kaufmann on a 9♥5♦6♣7♥5♥ board.
