French Fancy

As Hafiz Khan departed, possibly to vomit in the nearest toilet, it suddenly emerged that a hand was still being played out on the far table. With Arnaud Mattern raising it up to 8,500, David Benyamine made the call and the two players saw a {7-Hearts}

flop. Mattern bet 17,500 and Benyamine called, leading to a seemingly innocent {7-Spades}

turn. "All in," declared Mattern. "Call," responded Benyamine.

Mattern = {A-Diamonds}

Benyamine = {8-Clubs}

"Sick," said Mattern as the river came a harmless {6-Spades}

. Meanwhile, Benyamine doubles up to around the 200,000 mark on the final hand and goes into the 45-minute dinner break with a twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step.
