Chevalier Doubles as Stoica Goes for It All
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Picking up the action on a 10♣3♠Q♣A♠ turn, Pierre Chevalier checked from the big blind to Roman Stoica in the cutoff, who fired a pot-sized bet of 52,000.
Chevalier quickly called, but took his time when the 2♣ arrived on the river. After one time extension, Chevalier led out for 40,000. Stoica quickly moved in over the top, but his opponent snapped him off for 240,000.
Stoica showed K♠J♣ for a straight, but Chevalier had rivered a flush with K♣4♣ and, as a result, doubled up.
