Chip leader JC Tran started the hand with the button, and the action folded to Marc-Etienne McLaughlin, who raised to 850,000 in the cutoff. Tran tanked for a bit before three-betting to 2.15 million, both blinds released, and McLaughlin four-bet to 5.4 million, prompting his rail to explode with chants of "RE-TAR-DO, NO-FOL-DO!"

Tran tank-folded, and the French-Canadian contingent exploded.
