Francesco Favia opens the cutoff, Jack Salter calls on the button as does the player in the small blind and Yorane Kerignard in the big blind.

Flop: [9s] [8c] [7d]

The action checks through to Favia who bets 37,000, and Kerignard reduces the size of the field to just two, with a check-raise to 76,000.

“I’m all-in,” says Favia.

Kerignard jumps out of his seat and asks the dealer to repeat herself, which she does.

“I call,” says the excitable Kerignard.

Showdown

Kerignard: [Jc] [Th]
Favia: [8h] [7h]

The straight versus two pair with Favia needing help. The turn and river run out [Ac], [6s] and Favia is out. Kerignard vaults to the top of the chip counts.

Kerignard ~ 750,000
