Lopes Doubles Through Waigel After Big Tank
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pedro Lopes opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Ezequiel Waigel three-bet to 275,000. Lopes four-bet to 860,000, leaving only 120,000 behind. Waigel moved all in with a covering stack, sending Lopes deep into the tank.
With a pay jump coming up after the next elimination, Lopes used seven time extension chips before putting in the call to put himself at risk.
Pedro Lopes: K?Q?
Ezequiel Waigel: J?J?
It was a classic flip preflop, however, Waigel was left drawing close to dead when Lopes hit a flush on the 10?5?4? flop. Waigel picked up some outs when the board paired on the 5? turn but the 2? river was a blank and Lopes received a full double up at Waigel's expense.
