After he finished third of the Battle Royale, Victor Fryda defended from the big blind after Thibaut Ayel in the cutoff opened to 6,000.
On a flop of 9♦J♠Q♠, Ayel continued for 4,500 but Fryda check-raised to 15,000. Ayel quickly called.
The 5♥ came on the turn and Fryda bet 28,500. Ayel eventually called then went deep into the tank after Fryda bet 56,000 on the 8♠ river.
