Soon after the blinds go up, Nicolas Ragot raises to 175,000 in the hijack and Lewis Cowell defends the big blind. On a Heart QHeart JSpade 9 flop, Cowell checks and folds when Ragot continues for 175,000.

It doesn’t take long for both to meet again as Cowell raises into the big blind of Ragot, who comes along and check-calls a small bet on the Club ASpade 10Diamond 10 flop. Ragot check-calls another 270,000 on the Heart 5 turn and checks the Spade K on the river.

Cowell pulls the trigger and moves all-in with the far bigger stack, as Ragot only has 1,525,000 behind. The Frenchman uses one time bank and then announces “I call, I call,” which he confirms with the dealer another time.

Cowell shows the Diamond QHeart 8 for a bluff and Ragot doubles holding the Heart 10Heart 9 for trips tens.

Nicolas Ragot – 4,200,000 (52 bb)
Lewis Cowell – 3,750,000 (3,750,000 (47 bb)
