Pisarenko Sends Locquet Deep Into the Tank, Then to the Rail
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Romain Locquet bet 175,000 on a flop of Q♣J♠7♥ and Maksim Pisarenko called.
Locquet bet another 500,000 on the 9♣ turn, but this time Pisarenko raised to 2,475,000. Locquet went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to ponder the decision.
"Take your time. Big pot," Francis Anderson told. After more than five minutes, Locquet eventually stuck in his last 1,500,000 more and turned over Q♠10♦ for top pair and a straight draw, but Pisarenko already had the straight with 10♣8♣.
The 6♣ river improved Pisarenko to a flush and Locquet's Main Event run, which included memorably cracking Jared Bleznick's aces back on Day 1, came to an end.
