Massive Stack For Eychenne

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne
Thomas Eychenne

Thomas Eychenne is on a crazy run, as he has just eliminated three players in a row.

First, on a 10?9?4?K?3? board, he knocked out Luca Guglielmoni with K?10?, which gave him two pairs. "I bet small on the flop, then half pot on the turn, and I moved all in on the river and he called," Eychenne explained later. Guglielmoni had KxJx. After this hand, Eychenne took the chiplead with 4,000,000 chips.

A few hands later, Eychenne revealed his cards again, but this time it was preflop, against a short stack.

Opponent: A?J?
Thomas Eychenne: A?A?

With the best possible hand, Eychenne won an additional 450,000 chips after the 8?5?J?7?4? board.

On the next hand, he was, once again, involved in a hand where he called Farid Hobeiche's stack of 450,000 chips.

Farid Hobeiche: 2?2?
Thomas Eychenne: 7?7?

"This is crazy," said Eychenne, who claimed the pot again on 5?K?Q?4?10?. He now has 5,200,000 chips.
