On the flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Simon Taberham fired 38,000. Alexis Fourcade raised all in for 82,000 and then action fell to Hernan De Leon. He thought and then made the call. Play moved back to Taberham and he tanked for quite some time. Eventually, Fourcade called the clock on him. About 30 seconds in, Taberham reraised all in for 279,500. De Leon went back into the tank before mucking his hand.

"You have a set?" asked Taberham.

Fourcade didn't say anything, but did turn over the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for top two pair. Taberham held the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

The turn and river were the {4-Hearts} and the {5-Hearts}. Fourcade tripled while Taberham dropped to about 200,000.
