Lopez Doubles Baumann Before Being Gifted a Near Triple

Emmanuel Lopez opened from the cutoff and a player flat-called before Gaelle Baumann three-bet to 90,000 from the big blind. Lopez then four-bet jammed to get the hand heads-up and Baumann called with her stack of 527,000.

Baumann had Lopez by a few pips and nothing changed as the board ran out to earn the French pro a double.

The very next hand, Gonzalo Pro opened to 20,000 in middle position and Lopez flat-called as the player next to act. Artur Martirosian then three-bet jammed a stack of 234,000 from the button and Pro re-shoved behind him as the table chip leader. Lopez snapped with a smaller stack.

Neither Martirosian nor Pro could hit as the board ran out for the queens of Lopez to stay ahead to earn him a massive pot for the chip lead and send the Russian on his bike.
