Eychenne Catches Up to Ionita With Big River Bet
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
In a limped pot between the blinds, Thomas Eychenne and Sebastian Ionita checked to the turn on a board of 8♥5♣2♦5♦. Ionita then bet 200,000, Eychenne raised to 1,400,000, and Ionita called.
The river was the 7♥ and Eychenne slid forward two towers of red 100,000 chips for a bet of 4,000,000. Ionita went deep into the tank, taking over a minute before folding A♣4♠ as Eychenne took the pot without showdown, holding K♣5♠ (trip fives).
With that pot, Eychenne moved past Ionita into the chip lead.
