Cecile Ticherfatine in middle position opened to 175,000 and she was called by Rachid El Yaacoubi in the hijack. Ticherfatine continued for 210,000 on 4♣8♠10♠ and El Yaacoubi called.

The A♣ turn landed on the felt, but Ticherfatine checked. El Yaacoubi took this opportunity to bet 560,000, but he saw Ticherfatine check-raise to 1,100,000.

El Yaacoubi called, then went into the tank after Ticherfatine moved all-in for 1,400,000 on the K♥ river.

El Yaacoubi eventually folded A♠J♠, and he was right to do so as Ticherfatine had A♥A♦ for a set.
