Darcourt for the First Showdown

We've finally had a showdown at our "last" table of 10 players, and the victor was none other than former WPT champion Guillaume Darcourt. Darcourt was in position against Koen de Bakker for a flop of {j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. With 150,000 in the pot, de Bakker made a bet of 85,000 that Darcourt called.

The turn {3-Clubs} did not slow down de Bakker. He fired again, a somewhat small 125,000, into the 320,000-chip pot. Darcourt called again. The river was a dreaded ace, {a-Hearts}. It forced a check from de Bakker, opening the door for Darcourt to bet 200,000. de Bakker eventually called, but whatever he had was mucked when Darcourt turned up the nuts, {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. He's up to 1.1 million in chips, while de Bakker is all the way back down to 365,000.
