Franchi Fires Three Barrels Into Jalba
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 50,000 in the pot on a flop of 8♦K♥5♠, Malcolm Franchi led out for 9,000 from the big blind and Eusebiu Jalba called in early position.
The turn came the A♦ and Franchi fired out another 23,000. Jalba again called and the 4♣ fell on the river. Franchi then bet 78,000.
As Jalba went into the tank, tablemates Slimane Mameche and Max Neugebauer placed a bet for coffee with each other over the contents of each of their hands. More than five minutes went by before a player at the table called the clock.
Jalba allowed the countdown to go all the way to zero before his hand was declared dead. Franchi showed the 4♥ as he took the pot.
