French Finds Miracle River

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Dominick French
Dominick French

A player opened under the gun to 1,000 and was called by Dominick French one seat over. Action folded to the cutoff, who moved all in for 7,100. The blinds got out of the way as did the initial raiser to send the action back to French, who made the call with the larger stack.

Cutoff Player: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Dominick French: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Though the cutoff player was at risk he was also way ahead of French, who came into this tournament fresh off a deep run and cash in Event #37: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Millionaire Maker. The {j-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop changed nothing except to give the cutoff player a gutshot to go with his superior pocket pair. No help came for French on the {6-Clubs} turn either, leaving him drawing to just two outs. His razor thin equity did not matter though as French was able to spike the {8-Spades} on the river to eliminate his opponent in brutal fashion.
