Eychenne Elects to Be A Hero
Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Dario Sammartino raised to 1,300 from under the gun and Thomas Eychenne three-bet to 4,400 from the hijack. Sammartino called and the duo saw a 10?3?2? emerge from the deck. Eychenne put out a continuation-bet of 3,400 and Sammartino check-called.
The 10? turn then checked around before Sammartino took the betting lead on the 7? river. He led out for 7,500 and this sent Eychenne into the tank.
After using one time bank extension, Eychenne made the call. Sammartino reluctantly showed his Q?J? and Eychenne proudly showed his A?K? for the ace-high hero call.
The call elevated Eychenne's stack to more than double the starting 50,000.
