Gachet Takes a Hit in Blinds Collision
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Claudio Barone limped from the small blind, and Romain Gachet raised to 20,000 in the big blind. Barone came back over the top for around 100,000 total, and Gachet called.
Claudio Barone: 5♠4♣ 
Romain Gachet: A♣10♣
Barone needed some help, and he couldn't have asked for much better than the 6♥4♠2♥ flop.
He maintained his lead on the 6♠ turn, and improved to a straight on the 3♦ river.
