[user46392]

With the flop reading {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

, one Eric Haber ("But ze French one," he told me, to avoid confusion with American Eric "Sheets" Haber, whom he is not) moved all in. There ensued some dwelling, before Patrick Bruel made the call - and then instantly regretted it as Haber turned over {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

. Bruel could only boast {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

, and following a couple of raggy blanks on the turn and river ( {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and

{3-Spades}

respectively), Haber shouted, "ALLEZ!" and doubled to around 80,000. Bruel is left with a still above-average 48,000.
