Philippe Souki

Philippe Souki raised to 225,000 with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Antoine Labat in the big blind held the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. He checked the stack of Souki carefully and called. The flop brought {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Labat checked. Souki bet 200,000 and Labat check-raised all in to see Souki call for 2.9 million.

The {3-Hearts} turn was a disaster for Souki, as he was drawing dead to make the {6-Diamonds} river a formality. Labat jumped back into the lead and Souki, who finished 3rd in this very event two years ago, had to settle for 7th place and £20,500.,
