Eychenne Cracks Aces to Take a Million-Chip Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
"You just missed it," Manig Loeser told PokerNews while Thomas Eychenne to his left was dragging a massive a pot.
The Frenchman was kind enough to explain that Panagiotis Christou opened from early position and that he three-bet to 42,000 from the cutoff. Christou four-bet to 112,000 and Eychenne five-bet to 182,000. Christou then moved all-in for approximately 440,000 and Eychenne called.
Thomas Eychenne: K♦Kx 
Panagiotis Christou: A♦Ax
After a flop of 8x6x5x with two diamonds, the 3♦ turn gave both players a flush draw. Eychenne was only looking for a king and found one on the Kx river to eliminate Christou and become one of the chip leaders.
