Marechal Spikes a Set to Double Through Eychenne
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 240,000 from the cutoff and Frederic Marechal three-bet to 600,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Eychenne four-bet to 1,300,000 and Marechal five-bet jammed for 3,570,000. Eychenne snap-called to put Marechal at risk.
Thomas Eychenne: K♦K♣ 
Frederic Marechal: 10♠10♥
Eychenne would move over the ten-million chip mark if his cowboys could hold up. However, the poker gods had other plans as the 10♦4♥2♦ flop put Marechal firmly in the lead with top set. The 3♥ turn and 9♠ river didn't change anything and Marechal doubled up through Eychenne.
