Sychov Hero Calls Hulme

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A completed board of 9?5?J?Q?2? was spread on the table when Andrew Hulme shoved his stack of 54,300 in the middle from the small blind.

His opponent was Artur Sychov in early position, who asked the dealer to spread the 65,000 chip pot to get a better look at it. Shortly thereafter, the clock was called, but Sychov stuck in a call before the floor arrived at the table.

Hulme showed down J?9? for two pair while Sychov was forced to show his 10?10? for a pair of tens. Hulme doubled his already healthy stack to almost 150 big blinds, grabbing a significant chip lead on his table.
