Sacre Bleu! Lacay's Top Two Snapped Off

?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
Nick Maimone opened for 210,000 from middle position, Ludovic Lacay called from the cutoff and Antoine Saout called from the big blind.

All three players checked the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs} flop. When the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn, Saout led out for 480,000. Both Maimone and Lacay called. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Saout bet 1.1 million. Maimone folded and Lacay called.

Saout showed {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, hitting a runner-runner straight to shatter Lacay flopped top two pair with {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Lacay angrily threw his cards into the muck as Saout raked in the pot. Saout is up to 10,060,000 while Lacay fell to 4,150,000.
