After Omar Lakhdari's elimination, Cécile Ticherfatine raised to 12,000 from the hijack. She was called by both players in the blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♥8♠4♣ and Ticherfatine continued for 15,000. Julien Breuil in the small blind was the only one to call.

Both players checked the 10♣ turn leading to the 8♣ river where Ticherfatine bet 35,000. Breuil eventually check-called, but sent his cards into the muck when he saw Ticherfatine's Q♠J♣.
