There was a limp and a check before the two finalists saw a flop of [9c
. Azusa Maeda checked to Guillaume Humbert who bet 35,000 and Maeda made the call. The turn was the
and Maeda bet 110,000 and after a little thinking time Humbert made the call. This was turning into our biggest heads-up pot so far and it was confirmed at the sight of the
river when Maeda bet 200,000. Humbert had a few minutes to ponder his decision before making the call. Madea flung his cards into the muck and Humbert showed
to claim his bounty.
