Straight for Fryda
Level 13
: Blinds 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
After he finished third of the Battle Royale, Victor Fryda defended from the big blind after Thibaut Ayel in the cutoff opened to 6,000.
On a flop of 9?J?Q?, Ayel continued for 4,500 but Fryda check-raised to 15,000. Ayel quickly called.
The 5? came on the turn and Fryda bet 28,500. Ayel eventually called then went deep into the tank after Fryda bet 56,000 on the 8? river.
For severel minutes, Ayel counted his stack and struggled to make a decision. But he eventually called. Unfortunately for him, he mucked his card as Fryda had 10?6? for a straight.
