Chip leader Francisco Da Costa Santos just raised to 20,000 from the small blind, and Petteri Kalenius tried three-betting to 30,000 from the big. That didn't work out since you have to make at least double the raise in France. Since he had 50% of a raise invested he had to make it 40,000.
Santos wasn't happy, but eventually he called uttering the words, "I'm gonna gamble so hard."
The flop brought out 
and Santos checked. Kalenius moved all in for just 46,000 chips and Santos started talking again.
"This is the most stupid play I have ever made. This is the worst hand I played all tournament," Santos said before he tossed his cards into the muck. Kalenius picked up some much needed chips but is still short.
