Vernay Busts Prencipe
Level 39
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Nassim Rais opened to 400,000 under the gun, and Hermes Prencipe got his last 625,000 into the middle from the button.
Chip leader Tristan Vernay three-bet to 950,000 from the small blind, and Rais got out of the way.
Hermes Prencipe: Q♣J♠ 
Tristan Vernay: A♥3♠
Prencipe needed some help, but the ace was in the window on the A♣7♥5♣ flop, and there was no unlikely escape on the 6♣K♠ turn and river.
The river led to some more celebrations from Vernay, who now had a rail of supporters watching.
