"Tapis! Tapis!"

French live wire and masseuse-hogger Bruno Fitoussi has just doubled up formidable Finn and shampoo-advert-inspiring Jani Sointula.

It all started when Bruno limped from utg+1. Jani raised to 1,575 from late position, only for Bruno to respond by announcing tapis (see, I knew my French A-level would come in handy one day).

Back to Jani, and after a momentary pause, he decided to make the call, pushing his remaining 8k or so over the line.

Jani Sointula = {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Bruno Fitoussi = {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Board = {3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Jani survives, although his elation was characteristically hidden by his constant poker face that he had surgically added many moons ago.
