Florian Delabriere opened to 2,500 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 10,000 from Antoine De Pechpeyrou in the small blind.
Delbariere took quite a bit of time to think, but made the call.
On the 10♠7♥4♥ flop, De Pechpeyrou led out with a bet of 5,500. Delabriere again took a reasonable period of time to contemplate the position, but ultimately folded.
In the 917th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are joined by Ben Ludlow to talk about the latest stories from the poker world, including a discussion on the future of poker following the failure of a provision that would've mitigated the concerning gambling tax implications of the Big Beautiful Bill. Is there still time to turn things around?
The trio then discusses some of Monarch's recent seven-figure heads-up matches, Phil Hellmuth issuing a $1,000,000 challenge, and recent tournament winners from the 888poker LIVE London, including Gang Wang, Aaron Barone, and Vivian Saliba.
Chad then sits down with the winner of PokerNews' World Tournament of Slots (WTOS) giveaway. Find out who will be headed to the Bahamas in October, where they'll have a shot at a million bucks and the opportunity to meet reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champ Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
Finally, Chad reveals the latest code word for this year's NAPT Gold Pass giveaway valued at $10,000! There are not many up for grabs this year, so you won't want to miss out on this limited opportunity to win one just by listening to the PokerNews Podcast and MSPT Podcast Presented By PokerNews.
In the 915th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz are once again joined by Ben Ludlow to talk the latest stories and highlights from the poker world. That includes back-to-back WSOP Ladies Event champ Shiina Okamoto, who was back to her winning ways after taking down the Women's Event at the recently-completed EPT Barcelona. Is it time to start mentioning her name when talking about the G.O.A.T.s of the game?
Speaking of the EPT Barcelona, David Coleman had four runner-up finishes there, while Thomas Eychenne took down the EPT Barcelona Main Event for €1,217,175. It was actually in that tournament that PokerNews spotted Jesse Yaginuma and James Carroll, the two friends who caused quite the controversy over the summer in the WSOP Millionaire Maker, seated next to each other. Strange coincidence, that.
From there, Chad offers highlights from his Wisconsin hangout with Phil Hellmuth, who then went ot New Hampshire for a "Beat the Champ" weekend that saw Brandon Cantu emerge victorious. Hellmuth also remembered the late, great Poker Hall of Fame tournament director Jack McClelland.
Speaking of winners, Grant Hinkle, Nick Rigby, and Maurice Hawkins all took down titles, which are recapped in this episode and inspired Mike to share a Rigby story of his own. Also, a preview of the upcoming PokerGO Tour (PGT) Venetian Las Vegas Classic.
Finally, remember PokerNews is giving away a seat in the World Tournament of Slots (WTOS). You could have an approximate one in 500 chance at a $1,000,000 top prize. Click here to learn more about the WToS.

The players have been sent on their second 25-minute break of the day.
Victor Guinand opened to 2,000 under the gun, and received a call from the small blind and Matthias Bertholon in the big blind.
On the Q♦10♠9♥ flop, action was checked to Guinand, who continued with a bet of 4,000. Only Bertholon called.
The 3♠ hit on the turn, and Bertholon check-called in the face of a bet of 15,000 from Guinand.
The 8♥ river completed the board, and Bertholon again check-called, this time in respect of a bet of 22,000 from his opponent.
Guinand tabled J♣8♣ for the flopped queen-high straight, and Bertholon mucked.
Brice Guido was all-in for 31,300 and at risk versus Jean-Mathieu Groban, having got involved in a preflop raising war.
Brice Guido: 8♠2♠ 
Jean-Mathieu Groban: A♦J♦
Guido was at the absolute bottom of his range, but he found a pair on the K♥8♦7♠Q♥K♠ runout, which Groban missed, much to the table's amusement, and Groban's dismay.
