Julien Duveau opened to 500,000 from under the gun and was called by Maxim Panyak on the button.
Duveau check-called for 350,000 on the Q?Q?2? flop before folding to a bet of 950,000 on the 8? turn.
The following hand, Pierre Merlin raised to 500,000 second to act. Panyak and Duveau called from the cutoff and the big blind.
Action checked to Panyak on the J?9?6? flop, and he fired out 650,000. Duveau made it 2,400,000 which folded out Merlin. Panyak opted to move all in for around 5,000,000 and was snap-called.
Maxim Panyak: 6?6?
Julien Duveau: 10?8?
Panyak had the lead with a set of sixes but Duveau was still very much alive thanks to his combo draw.
