Approximately 40,000 was in the middle on a flop of Spade 7Heart 6Spade 5 as Jules Hamidou bets 13,000 from early position and gets three-bet to 35,000 by Noel Oliver Studer on the button. 

Hamidou comes back with a massive all-in bet, covering Studer’s roughly 210,000 chip stack.

Studer goes deep into the tank until the clock is called on him, leaving him 30 seconds to make a decision. Ultimately he makes the call to create the largest pot of the day which reveals a massive cooler that has what was the fourth largest stack in the room at risk.

Hamidou’s flopped straight is poised to win a massive pot provided the board doesn’t pair on him.

The dealer drops the Spade 2 on the turn, and then the Heart K on the river, sending the pot to Hamidou and eliminating Studer in dramatic fashion.
