Eychenne Takes No Prisoners
From early position, William Pengelly opened to 80,000 and was three-bet to 280,000 by Thomas Eychenne in the next seat. Oliver Entine then four-bet to 1,380,000, leaving himself just 40,000 behind. Action folded back to Pengelly, who went deep into the tank before ultimately folding.
Eychenne rechecked his cards and called, mistakenly thinking Entine was already all in. He tabled pocket aces prematurely, then quickly apologized to the dealer and Entine upon realizing his mistake.
The dealer spread the flop of 2♠6♦J♣, prompting Entine to joke, “I have one big blind, please let me keep it?” But Eychenne put him all in, and Entine made the call.
Oliver Entine: Q♠Q♣
Thomas Eychenne: A♠A♦
Entine needed to find a queen to crack the aces of Eychenne and remain in the tournament. The 4♦ turn and 8♥ river didn't help Entine, and all of his chips were sent over to Eychenne.
