Stroposoz vs jorginho88
Stroposoz vs jorginho88

Jorge "jorginho88" Abreu opened to 2,520 on the button and it was Julien "Stroposoz" Achard-Stropoli who then three-bet to 12,000 in the small blind, which Abreu called. Achard-Stropoli fired a bet of 17,500 on the {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and Abreu came along to also pay a second barrel of 40,833 on the {q-Spades} turn.

The {8-Diamonds} river completed the board and Achard-Stropoli made it 95,277 to go with 110,010 behind. Abreu moved all-in and forced a very reluctant fold as the Frenchman and Malta resident tank-folded.
