Hopkins' Bluff Turns into Top Pair
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 50,000 from the button, and Joshua Hopkins defended out of the big blind.
Hopkins checked the 10?8?10? flop, and Eychenne bet 25,000. This was met by a check-raise to 90,000 from Hopkins. After a few moments, Eychenne called.
The action checked through on the 5? turn for the Q? to hit the river. Hopkins checked and faced a bet of 200,000 from Eychenne. Hopkins thought about it briefly but ultimately settled on a call.
Eychenne flipped over A?9x for just ace-high, as Hopkins took down the pot with Q?9? for a rivered pair of queens.
