The Price of Pecheux
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Erwann Pecheux from France moved all in on the river of a board reading .
He had his opponent, who had just over 100,000 behind, covered. “Where you from, man?” Pecheux was asked. His opponent couldn’t find a solution to his problem and folded, asking, “Show for five dollars?”
“Fifty,” Pecheux responded.
“Fifteen,” was the counter offer. “Come on, everyone chip in.”
No one did contribute, but there was plenty of speculation about what Pecheux had and the consensus was he had a missed draw. It wasn’t their tournament on the line, though, and not their dollars on the table to find out for sure.
