Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne made it 240,000 in the hijack and was called by Florian Duta on the button.
Eychenne checked to Duta on the 9♠8♣5♠ flop, after which the latter bet 275,000. Eychenne called to the Q♠ turn, where he check-called a bet of 400,000 from Duta.
The A♥ river was knuckled by both, leading to a showdown. Eychenne showed a Qx, but Duta quickly tabled A♣J♥ to take down the pot with his superior pair.
