Roman Le Dantec opened to 800 under the gun and received calls from Natale Polizzotto and Tal Sardal in the blinds.
On the A♦3♥J♦ flop, action was checked to Le Dantec, who slid out a bet of 1,200. Polizzotto reached for chips, and produced a check-raise to 6,000. After some thought, Le Dantec called.
The 8♠ rolled off on the turn, and Polizzotto continued with a bet of 13,000. Le Dantec called.
The 2♣ river completed the board, and after some thought Polizzotto moved all in with the covering stack. Le Dantec, clasped his hands behind his head, blew out his cheeks, and sat up on his haunches, muttering to himself, running through the previous action.
After about two minutes, he flicked in a calling chip. Polizzotto turned over 8♦7♦ for a pair of eights with the missed flush draw, while Le Dantec had J♥10♥ for second pair jacks.
The table was quick to congratulate Le Dantec on his superb hero call, with Polizzotto looking shocked at the turn of events.
