Gonzalez Wins Cooler to Move Stack Over a Million
Jose Gonzalez opened the cutoff to 12,000 before Benjamin Tessier defended his big blind and they were off to a flop heads up.
The A?3?10? flop hit the felt and action checked to Gonzalez who continued for 8,000. Without thinking for too long Tessier put in a flop check-raise to 23,000. Gonzalez called.
The 2? landed on the turn introducing a backdoor flush draw and Tessier opted to continue the story for 54,000. Gonzalez came with a call once again.
The 5? landed on the river completing the backdoor flush and Tessier didn't skip a beat and led again for a large bet of 150,000. Gonzalez went into the tank and after a full time bank he announced he was all in. Although Tessier didn't look excited about it, he flicked in a call for his tournament life. The cards were tabled and the cooler was real.
Gonzalez rolled over A?Q? for the rivered backdoor nut flush and Tessier tabled 4?6? for the rivered nut straight with the flush blocker.
Tessier hit the rail and Gonzalez dragged a massive pot to move over the one million chip mark for the first time today.
