Betbese Doubles Through Crespi

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Joan Crespi opened to 50,000 from early position before Nicolas Betbese went all-in for 165,000 from the small blind. Crespi called to put Betbese at risk for his tournament life.

Nicolas Betbese: A♠J♠All in
Joan Crespi: A♦10♦

The flop was of no help to either player when it came 4♣7♠6♦.

Both players hit the J♦ turn as Betbese upgraded to a pair, but Crespi gained a flush draw.

The 2♣ was a brick as Betbese survived to fight another day.
