Franchi Forced to Sweat for a Chop
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Yake Wu opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Malcolm Franchi three-bet to 2,900,000 out of the big blind. Wu responded with a four-bet that would force Franchi all in with the Frenchman quickly calling off for his tournament life.
Malcolm Franchi: Q?Q? 
Yake Wu: Q?Q?
Everything looked set for a chop with not much changing on the A?9?7? flop. The J? turn suddenly made things uncomfortable for Franchi as he would need to fade the club on the river just to chop the pot. Fortunately for him, the river came 10? to send the chips back to their respective owner's stacks.
