Ziemichod Flops the Straight, Eychenne's Two Pair No Match

Sava Krink

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With 11,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 8?J?10?, Thomas Eychenne check-called Adrian Ziemichod’s 2,500 bet.

When the 4? hit the turn, Eychenne repeated the same move, check-calling an increased bet of 8,000 from Ziemichod.

As the A? landed on the river, Eychenne checked again, only for Ziemichod to shove all in, putting Eychenne at risk. Eychenne went into the tank, visibly frustrated with his situation. After a long pause, he made the reluctant call, almost sliding his chips toward Ziemichod in defeat. His instincts were spot on—Ziemichod revealed Q?9? for a flopped straight, while Eychenne could only muster two pair with A?10?.
