Ace-King Goes Down Twice
Lucas Silva Rocha raised to 50,000 in early position before Thomas Eychenne three-bet to 120,000 in the hijack. Silva Rocha then moved all in for 480,000, and Eychenne quickly called.
Lucas Silva Rocha: 5♠5♥
Thomas Eychenne: A♣K♥
Silva Rocha was racing for his tournament life and the flop came J♠9♠2♦2♠4♦, keeping his pair in the lead and earning him a double up.
At the same time at another table, Petrus Brandt was all in for 680,000 from under the gun and up against Alexandros Michas in the small blind.
Petrus Brandt: A♦K♥
Alexandros Michas: 10♥10♣
Brandt was looking to improve against Michas' tens, and the 8♦7♦Q♦ flop gave him a flush draw to go with his overcards. The 9♠ turn was no help, while the J♣ river improved Michas to a straight and sent Brandt to the rail.
