Ben Lamb raised to 265,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Francois Balmigere who pushed all in from the small blind for about 1.35 million. Ludovic Lacay folded from the big blind, and Lamb made the call.

Balmigere showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Lamb {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The flop was {9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, changing nothing, but the {A-Hearts} brought a response from the crowd as Balmigere was now in the lead. The river was the {5-Spades}, and Balmigere survives.

Balmigere has 2.75 million now, and Lamb 8.1 million.
