Marechal Smashes the River to Extend Chip Lead
Level 37
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Christopher Campisano opened to 2,500,000 with A?8? and Frederic Marechal three-bet to 6,000,000 with J?5?. Campisano called.
On the 7?4?6? flop, Marechal led out for 2,000,000 with an open-ended straight draw, and Campisano raised to 6,000,000. Marechal wasted no time in making the call.
A 2? fell on the turn where Marechal checked, and Campisano fired 9,500,000. Again, Marechal quickly called.
The pot had ballooned to 44,000,000 when the J? rolled off on the river, which paired Marechal. However, the action went check-check, and Marechal took it down to extend his chip lead.
