Loire Beats Hulme Without Diamonds
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Julien Loire and Andrew Hulme had had a raising war prelop which ended with 12,000 chips in the middle. Loire then bet a tiny 1,300 chips on 6♦2♦4♦, which Hulme called.
The J♦ turn was subsequentially checked by both players before the 6♣ river saw Loire add 2,500 more to the pot. Hulme decided to put the same amount in the pot for a call, but mucked his cards once Loire turned over A♠A♥ for two pair with aces.
