It shows up {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

. Check, check, check.

The turn brings the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. This time, Renaldi leads out with 52,000 chips. Cournut makes the call rather quickly, while Roy gets out of the mix.

Fifth street: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

. Renaldi keeps the heat on, betting another 90,000 chips at Cournut. "Is that a good river card for you?" he asks the bettor. After taking a minute or two to decide, Cournut does make the call, and he watches Renaldi flip over {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

. Seemingly surprised by the good news, Cournut tables his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

, and takes down a nice little pot at showdown.
