Blinds: 60,000/120,000

Yoon Ho Choi raised under the gun, and he recieved calls from Sami Bechahed on the button, and Charles Brunier in the big blind.

The flop of [Jc][4c][3s] saw Bruiner check to Choi, who fired 300,000. Both players tagged along again, and the [8c] hit the turn. This time, Choi’s bet was 600,000, and that only received one call from Bechahed.

The [Jh] hit the river, and after Choi checked, Bechahed went for it all, shoving for 3,400,000 effective. The bet drew a surprised look from Choi, who asked for a rough count to figure out how much of his stack Bechahed was risking. He said he wasn’t likely to fold, and after about 90 seconds of thinking, he called with [Ac][Qc] for the top flush. It was a brutal cooler though, as Bechahed rolled over [Jd][8d] for a full house to take what is undoubtedly the biggest post of the tournament so far.

After that hand, Bechahed has over ten million chips with four left.
