Marechal Spikes a Set to Double Through Eychenne
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 240,000 from the cutoff and Frederic Marechal three-bet to 600,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Eychenne four-bet to 1,300,000 and Marechal five-bet jammed for 3,570,000. Eychenne snap-called to put Marechal at risk.
Thomas Eychenne: K?K? 
Frederic Marechal: 10?10?
Eychenne would move over the ten-million chip mark if his cowboys could hold up. However, the poker gods had other plans as the 10?4?2? flop put Marechal firmly in the lead with top set. The 3? turn and 9? river didn't change anything and Marechal doubled up through Eychenne.
