James Carroll opened to 120,000 from the hijack and Marc Bougaret three-bet to around 300,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Carroll who made the call.
The 4♠10♣6♦ flop saw Carroll check-call Bougaret's 220,000 bet.
Carroll checked and Bougaret jammed on the 9♥ turn. Carroll snap called and the players flipped their hands.
Marc Bougaret: K♦J♥
James Carroll: 9♦9♠
Carroll had turned a set of nines and the only card that could save Bougaret was a queen.
Bougaret was eliminated from the tournament after the 5♦ came on the river, and Carroll collected the huge pot.
