Ferron Spikes Turn to Survive

Richard Hayes

Level 18 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Matthieu Ferron jammed for 76,000 from the cutoff, and was looked up by Orhan Sen in the small blind.

Matthieu Ferron: A♠5♠ All in
Orhan Sen: A♥Q♠

Ferron was crushed, but hopes of a chop were raised after the A♣A♦10♦ flop gave both players trip aces.

Ferron went one better on the 5♣ turn though, hitting a full house, much to the disgust of Sen, who shook his head forlornly.

The 4♦ river did not alter matters.
