Jeschka Wins a Big One
Level 12
: Blinds 20,000/35,000, 35,000 ante
Action was picked up with Hannes Jeschka all-in for 1,065,000, and Daniel Becher all-in for less, with Jean-Noel Thorel putting both players at risk.
Daniel Becher: A♣9♣
Hannes Jeschka: 8♦8♣
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♠Q♠
Jeschka was in front with his pocket eights, but would need to fade four overcards. He was not able to do so after the 7♥K♦7♣ flop put Thorel in the lead. However, the 8♠ on the turn gave Jeschka a full house, leaving both Thorel and Becher drawing dead. The 5♠ on the river completed the board, as Becher quickly left the table and Jeschka scooped the pot.
