Sebastien Ta raises to 40,000 from under the gun and Fadhil Farag places 120,000 across the line (leaving him with 13,000 behind). Toufik Ourini makes the quick call and starts to talk to Ta in French. If he wanted a call it worked because Ta did call and the three of them were sharing a 360,000 pot.

The hearty flop of [Jh] [Th] [7h] is placed down by the dealer and Ta checks to Farag and he moves his last 13,000 into the pot. The character that is Ourini places a clean 200,000 into the middle and Ta folds [Ac] [Jc] face up. When the cards are turned over it turns out to be a great fold because Farag has [Ah] [Qh] for the nuts and Ourini [Tc] [Ts] for second set.

Farag was ecstatic until the dealer placed the [Td] onto the turn, handing Ourini quads. Ouch! What a horrible way to go!

Ourini – 1.3 million and the chip lead.
Ta – 490,000
