Govert Metaal raised to 115,000 from the small blind and Alexandre Fournier called from the big blind.
On the 10♠2♠8♣ flop, both players checked to see the A♦ on the turn. Metaal bet 80,000, and Fournier called.
A 7♦ fell on the river and Metaal checked, then Fournier checked back.
Metaal showed K♥6♠ for just king-high, but Fournier held A♥4♥ for a pair of aces and won the pot.
