Lhuillier Makes Huge Hero Call Against Joyce
With around 300,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of 10♣4♣7♦, Philip Joyce and Mitchell Johnson checked, then Jean-Emmanuel Lhuillier fired 90,000. Joyce made it 265,000, Johnson folded, and Lhuillier called.
They saw the A♥ drop on the turn where Joyce checked, Lhuillier bet 80,000, and Joyce called.
When the 3♦ landed on the river, Joyce checked it over again, and Lhuillier made a bet of 180,000. After thinking for a while, Joyce shoved, which gave Lhuillier a decision for his remaining 1,150,000 he had behind.
After around four minutes of tanking, there was still no decision from Lhuillier, so the floor were called to initiate a countdown. With just a single second remaining in the count, Lhuillier put his chips in.
Joyce then showed 7♣6♥ for a pair of sevens, but Lhuillier had the winner after he paired his ace with A♣5♣.
Big, big call from Lhuillier.
