Sonny Franco defended his big blind after Julien Robert had raised from the button. The flop fell {2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Franco went for the check-raise to 625,000 after Robert had put in a bet of 245,000. Robert called the raise and they went to the {5-Diamonds} turn.

Franco checked to Robert this time and when Robert put chips in the middle Franco snap-folded.
