Sergii Baranov limped on the button, Phil Hellmuth folded from the small blind, and Stephane moved all in for 920,000. Baranov made a quick call to put the Frenchman at risk.

Showdown

Baranov:

Albertini:

The flop gave Albertini a big lead with a pair of aces, while the turn left Baranov drawing dead. The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure and the French contingent, of which there are a couple dozen, went wild on the rail.
