Pecheux Extends his Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
After winning a big pot to climb to 2,600,000, Erwann Pecheux opened to 25,000 from the button and was called by both players in the blinds.
All three of them checked the J♣K♦9♦ flop leading to the 5♦ where the blinds checked again. Pecheux bet 75,000 and Joey Couden in the small blind was the only one to call.
The 9♥ river completed the board. Coudey checked and Pecheux moved all-in. Coudey went into the tank for a few seconds and called off his last 240,000.
Pecheux flipped over J♦6♦ for a flush. Upon seeing the hand, Couden mucked and was eliminated.
