Bermon Hits the River to Score a Double Elimination
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After Laurent Leclerc was eliminated moments after the restart, Claude Mamalepot opened to 160,000 from under the gun. Mohamed Lahlou three-bet all-in for 825,000 from the hijack, and he was called by Alexandre Bermon in the small blind. Mamalepot quickly raised all-in for 1,015,000. Bermon went into the tank and called.
Mohamed Lahlou: A♠K♠ 
Claude Mamalepot: A♦A♥
Alexandre Bermon: J♦J♥
Mamalepot was on his way to scoop the pot on 4♥7♥10♣K♣, but the cruel J♠ river landed on the felt to give a set to Bermon and eliminate both Mamalepot and Lahlou.
While Bermon was reaching 4,700,000, Mamalepot sat on a chair at the exit and stayed there for a long moment, staring at the ceiling.
