Eychenne��s Straight Leaves Lormel Jacks��d Up and Out!
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne started the action with a raise to 40,000 from the hijack, but Yann Lormel quickly pushed all in from the cutoff for 220,000. After some contemplation, Eychenne made the call, and they went to a showdown.
Lormel revealed A?J?, while Eychenne showed 9?8?. With Lormel currently in the lead, Eychenne needed some help from the board. The flop of 7?9?10? was a good start for him, giving him a pair of nines along with a flush draw.
Now it was Lormel��s turn to seek assistance from the board, but the 10? on the turn didn��t change anything for him.
However, the river brought the J?, giving Lormel a better pair. But Eychenne had struck gold, hitting a straight, and he sent Lormel to the rail.
