Kings Are Good for Eychenne
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
The player under the gun raised to 3,300 and the player in middle position three-bet o 8,500. Thomas Eychenne, in the hijack, called. The button four-bet to 32,000. The player under the gun and the player in middle position folded. Eychenne took a minute of reflection, then stuck around with a call.
The flop came 
and Eychenne checked. His opponent bet 45,000 and Eychenne check-called.
The turn was the 
and was checked around to the 
river. Both players checked again. Eychenne tabled 
and his opponent glanced at his cards one last time then threw them in the muck.
"Good call man, it really did feel like aces," said a player at the table to Eychenne.
