Chanson Drills the Turn to Double Through Essertel
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Thierry Chanson shoved for a bit over 70,000 from under the gun and just behind him, Jeremie Essertel also went all in for more. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.
Thierry Chanson: A♣J♦
Jeremie Essertel: J♥J♣
Essertel had the best of it with his jacks and remained ahead on the 5♠3♠Q♥ flop. However, the A♦ turn paired Chanson's ace and left Essertel drawing to one out.
It wasn't meant to be, as the 7♥ river changed nothing and Chanson was awarded the double up on the last hand of the evening.
