"Either I Am Ahead Or I Need Two Outs"
Nivel 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Malcolm Franchi raised to 250,000 from middle position, leaving 140,000 behind, and was called by Mariusz Golinski on his direct left. Everyone else folded.
The flop fell Q♠7♦8♥, and Franchi made the move to push all in and Golinski made the move to call.
"Why snap call?" Franchi asked. "Either I’m ahead or I need two outs," he continued. He then moved all in for his last 140,000 chips.
"You’re ahead," Golinski replied as he made the call.
Malcolm Franchi: 4♣4♠
Mariusz Golinski: A♦J♦
The 4♦ on the turn improved Franchi to a set, but it gave Golinski additional outs with a backdoor flush draw. However, the 5♠ on the river was no help to Golinski, and Franchi doubled up to stay alive in the tournament.
