Eldridge Hero-Calls Saout to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to David Eldridge who raised to 38,000 in the small blind. Antoine Saout called in the big blind and they went heads-up to the J♥Q♣2♣ flop.
Eldridge continued for 40,000 and Saout called. Eldridge checked the 6♦ turn, Saout bet 50,000, and Eldridge called.
The river was the Q♥ and Saout bet 400,000, enough to put Eldridge all in. Eldridge tanked for a few minutes and eventually called for his last 208,000.
Saout showed K♥9♣ for a missed straight draw, while Eldridge had A♣K♦ and took the pot with ace-high to double up.
