The turn card was the J♦ and Reard bet 16,000. The hijack quickly folded and the table broke moments later.

The 265 remaining players are on a 20-minute break.
The action was picked up on a board of 3♣8♠6♦5♥K♦ with already 52,500 in the pot. Thibaut Garcia in the big blind jammed and Alban Beysson under the gun went deep into the tank.
