Chilaud Stuns Hammann With Big River Bet

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Benjamin Hammann

Maxime Chilaud three-bet to 265,000 from the small blind and Benjamin Hammann called on the button.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Chilaud continued for 165,000. Hammann again called to see the {5-Clubs} turn.

Chilaud this time fired out 365,000. Hammann, covering his face with the collar of his shirt, tanked for nearly two minutes before he called. The river came the {j-Diamonds} and Chilaud pushed forward nearly his entire stack, a bet of 780,000 as he left just two chips behind.

Hammann quickly tossed in a chip to call as Chilaud opened up {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} for the set. Hammann flung his arms in the air in frustration as he was forced to hand over most of his stack.
