Final Table: Hands #1-5: Fontaine and Husaynue Take the Plunge
Hand #1: It folded to Husaynue on the cutoff who moved all in for 4,100,000, not wasting any time at all post dinner break. Mash took him on from the small blind and it was bad news for the short stack: Mash had 
to his 
. The board was kind, however, bringing 
for a life-saving chop.
Hand #2: Farhad Jamasi raised to 1,550,000. Jean-René Fontaine moved all in on the small blind for 4,830,000 million and Jamasi let it go.
Hand #3: Adam Richardson opened for 1,100,000 under the gun and again, Fontaine moved in, saying it in French for good measure: "tapis!" The amount: 7,380,000. Everyone folded.
Hand #4: It folded to the small blind Jim McNurlan who completed, Richardson raised to 2 million, and McNurlan called. On a flop of 
McNurlan checked, Richardson bet 3,000,000 and took the pot.
Hand #5: Fontaine shipped it in again preflop, this time for 9,730,000; Adam Richardson made the call as he rubbed his hands together in anticipation. It was a dominating matchup that Fontaine needed to overcome, 
vs. 
. He called for a "dix" and the deck provided it: 
. He had to fade quite a few outs, but did so as the turn and river came down 
. He doubles to 20,400,000.
