Chechin Leads the River on Rodin
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Grigorii Rodin raised to 60,000 under the gun and Serge Chechin and Cesar Garcia came along in the blinds.
The flop came 3?4?9? and Rodin bet 75,000, with only Chechin calling to the 6? turn.
Rodin then bet 285,000 and Chechin again called. The river was the 7? and Chechin slammed in a tower of chips for a bet totalling 450,000.
Rodin burned through four time banks as Chechin began talking to him in French.
"No French at the table," Jon Kyte said. Rodin eventually folded and Chechin took the pot.
"Two pair," Kyte said to Chechin. "You're jacks are no good," he added toward Rodin.
After the hand, a tournament official came over to warn Chechin about speaking English-only while in a hand.
