Stropoli Can't Dodge the Flush
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Frederic Hebette opened 13,000 in early position and the action folded to Julien Stropoli in the big blind. He went into the tank for several minutes, and eventually, time was called. The floor gave 30 seconds to act, and with 10 seconds left, he made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of [asts34s], and Stropoli checked to Hebette who fired 100,000 across the line. Stropoli gave it some thought before sigh-calling off his stack of about 64,000.
Julien Stropoli: A?J?
Frederic Hebette: Q?J?
Stropoli was ahead with a pair of aces, but the 7? turn and 8? river gave Hebette a flush, sending Stropoli home nearing the bubble.
