La Francesca Gets Paid by Langer; Sklenicka Puts Eychenne in the Blender

Alessio La Francesca raised to 8,000 on the button, Dirk Langer three-bet to 22,000 in the small blind, and La Francesca called.

Both players checked the 6♦4♥5♦ flop. Langer then bet 18,000 on the 8♣ turn, and La Francesca called.

Langer checked the K♦ river and La Francesca bet 35,000. Langer snap-called, and La Francesca showed K♠4♠ for two pair to win the pot.

At another table, Michael Sklenicka bet 9,000 from the hijack on a flop of A♠K♥9♠ and Thomas Eychenne called on the button.

Sklenicka bet another 25,000 on the 6♠ turn and Eychenne again called. The river was the 6♥ and Sklenicka bet 75,000.

Eychenne agonized over the decision for nearly five minutes until folding, and Sklenicka took in the pot.
