Tomas Takes It on River
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Joao Tomas flicked in a raise to 24,000 under the gun with A♥10♦. Maxime Chilaud flat-called 9♦9♣ in the small blind, and the two went heads-up to a 3♦10♠5♥ flop. Tomas placed a continuation-bet of 40,000, which Chilaud check-called.
Chilaud also checked the 4♦ turn, prompting Tomas to size up to 110,000. Undeterred, Chilaud called for a second time, seeing the 3♥ emerge from the deck on the river.
Tomas kept the aggression up, shoving in 300,000 chips, the vast majority of his stack. Eventually, Chilaud let go of his pocket pair, chipping up Tomas without showdown.
