The player on the button opened to 700, but Julien Sitbon in the big blind three-bet to 3,000.
It didn't take long for the button to four-bet to 9,200. "Can you move your arms?" Sitbon asked to see his opponent's stack. The Winamax Team Pro went into the tank, but eventually folded.
Three-way on a flop of 9♣4♠K♣, Sébastien Guidez in the big blind and Damien Hupé under the gun checked and saw a player in middle position bet 1,000. Guidez folded, but Hupé made the call.
On the 8♠ turn, the middle position fired a second barrel of 2,000. Hupé check-folded at this point.
Before the restart, a ceremony was held to award Alexandre Reard his WSOP Circuit ring following his victory in the €2,000 WSOP-C High Roller event yesterday.
