There was around 7,000 in the pot on the 7♥6♠4♠ flop, and action escalated to where three players were all-in.
Jerome Zerbib (19,000) and and Yahia Elabdi (40,600) were at risk of elimination to Mehdi Senhaji, who covered them both.
Jerome Zerbib: J♠10♠
Yahia Elabdi: 5♥4♦
Mehdi Senhaji: 9♠5♠
Zerbib had a flush draw and two overs for plenty of equity. Elabdi's pair of fours were somehow ahead but he also needed to dodge Senhaji's flush and straight draw.
The K♥4♥ runout improved Elabdi to trips and he scooped in the double up and change. while Zerbib departed.
