Marechal Smashes the River to Extend Chip Lead
Level 37
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Christopher Campisano opened to 2,500,000 with A♦8♦ and Frederic Marechal three-bet to 6,000,000 with J♠5♦. Campisano called.
On the 7♠4♣6♣ flop, Marechal led out for 2,000,000 with an open-ended straight draw, and Campisano raised to 6,000,000. Marechal wasted no time in making the call.
A 2♥ fell on the turn where Marechal checked, and Campisano fired 9,500,000. Again, Marechal quickly called.
The pot had ballooned to 44,000,000 when the J♦ rolled off on the river, which paired Marechal. However, the action went check-check, and Marechal took it down to extend his chip lead.
