On the outer table, Ermanno Di Nicola opened to 425,000 from middle position and was called by Cristian David from the hijack. Julien Loire also defended his big blind.
Di Nicola continued for 550,000 on the 10♦6♦6♠ flop and only Loire called.
Loire then check-called for 850,000 on the Q♣ turn. The 10♣ river double board the board. Loire led out for 2,600,000 and Di Nicola wasted little time in folding.
