Cauchard Fades Outs to Land Potentially Fatal Blow

Richard Hayes

Level 52 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 300,000 ante

Mirand Murseli raised to 8,000,000 from the button and Jeremy Cauchard defended in the big blind.

On the Q♣9♠6♠ flop, Cauchard fired out a bet of 4,500,000, Murseli jammed for 66,700,00, and Cauchard called off for his 44,100,000 total stack.

Jeremy Cauchard: Q♥9♣ All in
Mirand Murseli: A♠J♠

It was two pair versus the flush draw, and if Murseli could hit the title was his.

The K♥ turn was a brick to the flush, but gave Murseli outs to the gutshot, but he bricked the 4♥ river, sending a crucial double-up to Cauchard.

This could be the key hand in the tournament, and Cauchard is now in a dominating position.
