Vincent Meli had chipped away at Patrice Brandt over the course of several hands.
In the latest, action was on the turn on a board of 10♣2♠J♠9♠. Meli checked and Brandt bet 850,000. Meli check raised to 2,500,000 and Brandt called.
The river came the 9♣. Meli led for 3,000,000 and Brandt deliberated before making the fold. Meli showed Q♣7♥ for a bluff.
"I have to show the bluff for PokerNews!", said Meli as he scooped the pot.
