: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Gilbert Tin Fook, Saurabh Gulati and Dhinesh Soopramanien limped in. Didier Mery then pushed all-in for around 160,000 and that left the first limper somewhat stunned. Tin Fook folded, as did Gulati, and Soopramanien folded the 7♦7♥ and Mery showed his J♦J♠.
The dealer was confused at first whether or not there would be a showdown before all the cards were mucked and Mery won the hand uncontested.
"You know I have the habit to limp aces?" Tin Fook asked Mery in French.
