HAND #94: Menneteau limps the button with Diamond 10Heart 9, Boujmala raises to 400,000, holding Diamond 6Diamond 5 and Menneteau calls.

The dealer fans out Spade JDiamond 8Heart 7, flopping a straight for Menneteau who bets 400,000. Boujmala calls and the unlikely Diamond 4 hits as a turn card to give Boujmala the lower straight.

Menneteau best 1,000,000, Boujmala shoves and Menneteau calls his 2,500,000 into the pot. Boujmala needs a diamond or Menneteau will earn a double.

The Heart 4 lands as a river and Menneteau pulls in a double with a cooler of an exchange during heads-up play.
