A pot of 270,000 had brewed in a blind on blind battle between Benjamin Hammann and chip leader Sebastien Guinand.
Benjamin Hammann mulled briefly, before checking his option on the 10♠5♠K♥A♠2♦ board. Hammann had around 400,000 behind and Guinand put him to the test for all of his chips.
Hammann tanked for ages, with clock eventually being called. He couldn't make a decision and his hand was ruled dead.
Guinand won his chip leading stack with pocket jacks last night, flopping a set and getting max value with pocket jacks. This time around, he turned his J♠J♣ into a massive bluff, which was met with congratulations from the table.
