Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dominick French opened to 6,000 from the hijack, with Youssef Habib calling from the small blind and Rachad Shour defending his big blind.

The 9♠7♦5♠ flop saw all three players check, with the dealer revealing the 3♦ turn. Another round of checks led to the K♥ river, where action checked to French.

After taking a moment, French counted out a bet of 7,000, finding a call from Habib. French tabled K♦J♥ for a pair of kings, while Habib showed K♣Q♥ for the same pair with a better kicker.
