Mendoza Gets the Maximum
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Samuel Fournier raised from middle position to 3,000, Jeremias Mendoza called in the hijack and the big blind elected to defend.
The flop came Q?8?10?. The action was checked to Mendoza who took the lead for 5,500. Only Fournier decided to continue.
The 4? saw a repeat of the action, this time Mendoza betting out 13,000.
The 2? river saw Fournier check again. Mendoza emptied the clip with a bet of 20,000. After several minutes in the tank, Fournier made the call only to be shown the bad news as Mendoza tabled A?Q? for the winner.
