Norman Gauthier raised to 600,000 from middle position and Franco Sicondolfi moved all-in for 5,840,000 from the small blind. Gauthier called.

It turned out that both players had the same stack, right down to the last chip, so both players were at risk.

Norman Gauthier: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Franco Sicondolfi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic race, but the dealer put out a flop reading {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and while Gauthier flopped a set, Sicondolfi was still live after flopping top two pair. Any ace or king would do, but the turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Hearts} to send Sicondolfi to the rail.

Immediately after the river was dealt, Jean-Francois Marin slammed his fist into the table and yelled out, "Do you know what I folded? Jack-ten of hearts. I was gonna call your six hundred thousand!"
