Alexandre Le Vaillant opened to 600,000 from the button and Julien Vecchioli defended from the big blind.
The flop came 9♠6♣3♠ and Vecchioli shoved for 3,400,000. Le Vaillant thought about his decision for about a minute before making the call to put Vecchioli at risk.
Julien Vecchioli: J♣9♥
Alexandre Le Vaillant: 7♦7♣
Vecchioli was in excellent shape to pull off the double up with top pair, but was suddenly drawing dead when Le Vaillant hit a set on the 7♠ turn. Vecchioli gave his opponent a hug as the inconsequential K♦ river was dealt and made his exit in fourth place as Le Vaillant pulled in a sizable pot, taking the chip lead once again going into three-handed play.
