With 42,000 in the middle on the flop of Q♣7♥4♣, Antoine Saout bet 22,000 from the button and was met with a check-raise from Christopher Maguire in early position for 52,000 which was called by Saout.
The 5♥ turn brought a second flush draw to the table and Maguire moved all in, which would put Saout at risk for 143,000. The Frenchman went deep into the tank and eventually found the fold and the dealer pushed the chips Maguire's way.
