Three-way on a flop of J♥9♣K♣, Hugues Girard in early position bet 11,000 and he was only called by a player in middle position.
"25,000?" asked this player after Girarde fired a second barrel on the 4♠ turn. He made the call to find the 8♥ river where Girard asked for 45,000.
The middle-position player went into the tank and called with K♠Q♠, but ran into Girard's two pair with K♦J♣.

The action was picked up on a board of 10♠10♦5♦J♥J♣ with roughly 45,000 in the pot. Adrien Amorella in the cutoff bet 26,000, and Timothée Rey in the big blind went deep into the tank.
After some time, he made the call. Amorella flipped over K♣Q♦ for two pair and a king kicker. "Split," Rey said while revealing K♠7♠. His call impressed Amorella and all the other persons at the table, including the dealer.
