Fournier Gives Up on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Georgios Zachmanidis opened 8,000 in the hijack and Samuel Fournier defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠7♠5♣, and Fournier check-raised a bet of 6,000 to 17,000. Zachmanidis made the call.
The 10♥ hit the turn, and Fournier continued for 30,000. Zachmanidis matched the bet.
When the 10♦ landed on the river, Fournier slowed down with a check, and Zachmanidis checked behind. Fournier tabled 4♣3♠, missing his double gutshot straight draw, and Zachmanidis dragged the pot with K♠5♠.
