Pecheux Chipping Up on Vanhoe
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a flop 2♣3♥5♥ in a heads-up pot, Andrew Vanhoe bet 105,000 and faced a shove from Erwann Pecheux for a total stack around 320,000. After a minute, Vanhoe made the call for the following showdown:
Erwann Pecheux: J♥J♦ 
Andrew Vanhoe: 4♠4♥
Vanhoe’s hand was dominated, and Pecheux collected the pot after the 8♣Q♦ completed the board. “That’s a gift for you,” Vanhoe said jokingly as he paid off Pecheux’s double-up.
