Massive Stack For Eychenne

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne
Thomas Eychenne

Thomas Eychenne is on a crazy run, as he has just eliminated three players in a row.

First, on a 1094K3 board, he knocked out Luca Guglielmoni with K10, which gave him two pairs. "I bet small on the flop, then half pot on the turn, and I moved all in on the river and he called," Eychenne explained later. Guglielmoni had KxJx. After this hand, Eychenne took the chiplead with 4,000,000 chips.

A few hands later, Eychenne revealed his cards again, but this time it was preflop, against a short stack.

Opponent: AJ
Thomas Eychenne: AA

With the best possible hand, Eychenne won an additional 450,000 chips after the 85J74 board.

On the next hand, he was, once again, involved in a hand where he called Farid Hobeiche's stack of 450,000 chips.

Farid Hobeiche: 22
Thomas Eychenne: 77

"This is crazy," said Eychenne, who claimed the pot again on 5KQ410. He now has 5,200,000 chips.
